MSNBC IS DEAD TO ME

End of an era.

The typography/design looks amateurish. Horrible actually.

The Multiple Sclerosis channel?

At least it's not the Ms. Magazine Channel.

There keeping the Microsoft part? Weird.

Considering that the "MS" part originally stood for Microsoft, I wonder if people will think that Microsoft took it over from NBC.

What's going to happen to MSN?

I always thought Ms NBC sounded like TV news for women.

MyShourshe

Countdown to lumpy calling it the MS-13 network.

r7 It does, hence its appeal to DLers. I recall how glued they were to Maddow's shows during Trump's first term, it was almost a religious experience. All that wasted time and it did fuck all in the end.

Like trying to polish a huge, smelly turd.

I can’t get over that terrible logo. Looks like something I would have designed in Print Shop Deluxe circa 1992.

I don't want to kick anyone when they're down but MSNBC before Trump 2 was 24/7 preaching to the choir. It rarely presented information that explained the US as it truly is. Maddow was the worst. So full of herself and full of breathless important information that was just nothing.

r13 Every show was like, "We got him now for sure!"

Selling hope to the hopeless, deplorable journalism.

[quote] Joe Scarborough's left nut

Mika crushed that ages ago….

"We got him now for sure!"

They started saying that shit back in January, 2017, shortly after Trump took office. "He'll never last 6 days, 6 weeks, 6 months, take your pick."

I can't believe how many people like Jason Alexander, Maya Wiley, Joyce Vance, and so many others kept saying he's dead meat. Yet here we are,8 years later, and Trump is still going strong. How can these expert "prognosticators" show their faces in public when they were so clearly wrong on so many different occasions?

Mississippi NOW. Elise Jordan and friends all day long.

[quote] There keeping the Microsoft part? Weird.

It appears that MS now stands for My Source.

Named for MY preferred address.

MS Now sounds like a disease!

You rang?

Such a fall from the glory days, around 2012. I know some disliked him, but I miss when the network had voices like Chris Matthews.

Ms. NOW

R16 MAGA prick...did you cum yet?

Oh shut up, r24. We cannot criticize at all anymore? And R16 has a good point. MSNBC was always good making the left feel better. But more like a quick sugar rush, not like a healthy diet.

The only thing on MSNBC (or whatever) I still watch is O'Donnell, and him only infrequently.

And this is coming from a lesbian who would die to sleep with Rachel!

Nope, Rachel says one thing and repeats variations of it for an hour. O'Donnell is the same way, only less obvious.

Bah.

Multiple sclerosis now!!

[quote]I don't want to kick anyone when they're down but MSNBC before Trump 2 was 24/7 preaching to the choir.

And now it’s not?

Unfortunately, the "PMSNBC" joke will no longer apply.

Ms. Now sounds woke.

The “It’s MS!” jokes are incoming.

“M Snowflakes”

Great…

They obviously came up with "MS NOW," and then had to work backwards to figure out what each letter could stand for. "News" and "Opinion" for the "N" and the "O" make sense, but "World" for the "W" feels out of place, especially since they mostly cover D.C. politics and very little international news, unless it's a crisis (and they'll probably have even less international news once they lose access to NBC's foreign correspondents).

Ms. Now if you’re nasty!

R16, you’d think smart people would figure out after a few years of “we got Trump this time” it was all bs. Lots of magical thinking and denial of reality.

[quote]I miss when the network had voices like Chris Matthews.

At least we still have Ari and his raps.

I am assuming that NBCUniveral employees either got their cable free or deeply discounted as a perk, now they are going to have to pay for cable if they want to watch their own channel MSNOW.

Will CNBC be changing their name also, since they are part of this new Versant?

[quote] In a separate memo, Lazarus wrote that CNBC would be retaining its name, noting that it stands for Consumer News and Business Channel

Guess if I had read further I could have answered my own question about CBNC.

I stopped watching all news shows when Elon + Turd stole the election. I used to watch the Sunday morning shows, Maddow, Ari... No more, not interested.

[quote]Ms. Now.

IT’S MA’AM!!

They should have made it MSN.

R6, the kids now in charge who came up with the new name do not know that MS originally stood for Microsoft.

R26, Larry O’Donnell hardly shows up for work anymore. He and Scarborough, who takes way too many days off, should be let go.

[quote]He and Scarborough, who takes way too many days off, should be let go.

Hold my beer!

Let's all raise our juice boxes to Steve Kornacki's khaki bulge.

I would love it if they got rid of Chris Hayes at 8, along with O’Donnell and Scarborough. This place needs a new cast of characters!

MS Contin. NOW.

Don Lemon has been a frequent guest on MSNBC lately. I think they're auditioning him for his own show.

Sounds like a disease. 🦠 Just because their shows were ineffective does not mean that they weren’t right. You people are ridiculous. You really want more FOX or CNN?! I am more learned from the folks at MSNBC despite being in the minority.

With your new host, Christina Applegate!

MSNBC hasn’t featured Miss Lindsey on their evening and Sunday shows, while other networks clamor to host Miss Lindsey.

Book her when she’s drunk, and MSNBC ratings may skyrocket.

R50 You're terribuhl, Muriel.

[quote] You really want more FOX or CNN?

Actually I would want a PBS News channel.

[quote] I am more learned from the folks at MSNBC despite being in the minority.

Um...

Lady Lindz is a frequent guest on Meet the Press, hosted by that vacant lump Kristin Welker R51. I'm sure the Lady even has her own liquor cart at the NBC studios.

R54 Yes, dear, "learned" is a real word.

learn·ed /ˈlərnəd/ adjective (of a person) having much knowledge acquired by study.

Missed Opportunity...[bold] MS MEOW [/bold] would have brought in new viewers.

Bring back Thomas Roberts...in a speedo!

Who gets custody of Willie Geist?

Glad to see they're going to be giving OPINON. For decades conned viewers into thinking their Opinion were facts, When Comcast finally sells the network, to save multi-millions Miss Maddow should be "separated from the payroll."

Has FOX started calling them [bold] MS NEVER [/bold] yet? Wait for it...

Nine - imagine that.

[quote] Let's all raise our juice boxes to Steve Kornacki's lack of khaki bulge.

Word is that they don’t expect the network to survive. It’s sad last days.

The logo looks like local access channels that deplorables get their “news” from.

I will enjoy seeing pompous ass Scarborough and his side piece Mika go away.

I'm MS-ing you NOW so I don't have to MS you THEN.

Mssssssss msssssss 🐍

"My Source News Opinion World" is terrible. Should have just not explained the letters.

Liberal MSNBC: SAD LAST DAYS

Even News Nation is laughing at the new logo and name change.

Do they actually have a significant number of their own correspondents and reporters, not working for (C)NBC News at all?

Positively dreadful.

R69, I agree — I don’t know why they felt it necessary to explain the letters. MS NOW would have been sufficient.

I bet eventually they will lose the space and it will become MSNOW instead of MS NOW.

MS NOW, the new feminine hygiene product from the people who brought you Secret Deodorant. MS NOW rather than MS LATER!

What in the 1997 Netscape search engine hell?

It's puzzling that they didn't even secure the URL for MSNOW.

All the hosts on Ms. Now will be trans or black or neutered men.

[quote]MS NOW, the new feminine hygiene product from the people who brought you Secret Deodorant. MS NOW rather than MS LATER!

When will it be available?

R79 Fuck around and find out.

I hope they hire Don Lemon. We need his brilliance and candor back on television.

[quote]"My Source News Opinion World" is terrible.

This sounds like something Meghan Markle came up with.

R79 That’s “Miz” Now to you!

To boost ratings, they are going to start airing Phil Donohue reruns .

Surely NewsNation has beaten them in the ratings by now.

Bring back Charles Grodin.

I think they should give Rosie O’Donnell her own talk show at 10pm. A mix of politics and entertainment

A potential new show on Sunday's could be "Miss Lindsey and Friends '. In addition to verbally attacking anyone who isn't MAGA. She could also share beauty/style tips. How to get your teeth that perfect shade of yellow/green. And how to make it look like you've only slept in your clothes for 1 night instead of 5.

CNBC will become the Shark Tank Channel. They don't seem to show anything else in primetime.

Bring back KEITH OLBERMAN! Is he still alive and functioning?

[quote]Bring back KEITH OLBERMAN!

NO DON’T!

Don’t worry, Katy. Olberbann will be in prime time and you will keep that 2PM slot when nobody’s watching.

i still can't get over the font. i don't know anything about graphic design or typography but i know this looks wrong and completely unprofessional. i can't put my finger on why. it feels like the design of a small restaurant in a ghetto that launders money. or a graphic in a cheap spam email. even the blue color gradient behind it looks bad. the gradient is like someone is shining a flashlight right in the center of it and it's too dark blue on the edges. did a professional graphic designer even make this? i swear to god i can do a better job from a preset on canva.

The logo and rebranding does seem to be amateurish.

On the other hand, they've scored by grabbing Carol Leoning, Jackie Alemany, Jacob Soboroff, and Vaughn Hillyard.

What’s going to happen with all the NBC reporters and NBC news segments they regularly show now? A whole new force? That won’t be as good and will cost a fucking fortune.

Maybe they will just do commentary with their favorite reporters and friends.

I only watch Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell, on MSNBC now. I’ve lost all respect for Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.

They once had respect?

Did they even TRY at rebranding?
