MS Now? MS No!

As you may have heard ,the spinoff of MSNBC from NBC News and COmcast is just about complete, and what used to be called MSNBC for merely thirty years is to be known as MS NOW.

MS NOW is to operate as a news channel with no support from or synergy with NBC News, and Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow, and Lawrence O'Donnell will be among the on-air talent migrating to the "new" channel.  And, I assume, Joe and Mika too.  Who cares?  I've been done with cable TV news since Joe and Mika want to Mar-a-Lago to pay tribute to the leader of der Amerikanisches Reich.  And because the channel is separating itself form NBC News, which became the most prestigious network news division in the country after Bari Weiss put a gun up against CBS News and pulled the trigger, it will have to create a staff of reporters from scratch, and it still won't be as accomplished as the reporting staff of, say, NewsNation.  

MS Now?  Nah, not now.  Maybe later . . .
