Hmmmm... I think that's called 'progress'.

I'm sorry that most of what they do goes over your head.
They do take corporate money, that's because their public funding has been cut- by right wingers.
They aren't quite as investigative of government and corporate corruption anymore but there's still plenty of substance there.
Sadly, NO ONE is doing hard hitting investigative reporting anymore. One can blame the current legal climate for that as much as anything.

you just named all the shitty non-journalists as good and the one good journalist as bad.

Now that's not nice. I still listen to NPR, but the purge was the end of the quality they used to have. Still some good content, just not the same.
I blame it on the board of directors caving to newt. They took the sure thing and fired the talent. I don't begrudge them corporate sponsors, I resent the sellout.

Just because they don't say what you want to hear doesn't make them bad journalists.
Confirmation bias much?

Sorry. I'll return your favor of civility. We can disagree without being disagreeable.
We can't say we weren't warned;
'Bad News' by Tom Fenton, former CBS News Senior Correspondent.
It's a chillingly prescient read, considering the copyright date.

What they have to say isn't always palatable by those who like things the way they are.

I always look to "On bended knee" for a good synopsis of what modern journalism has become. And that was written back in Rayguns day. https://www.amazon.com/Bended-Knee-Press-Reagan-Presidency/dp/0374251975
They have gotten more craven since then, thats for sure.

So now what do thinking Americans do?
Our country is spinning out of control; people on the Left and the Right agree on that much!
We may not agree on everything, but it's well past time to quit tossing bombs at one another and find the common ground between us. I'm willing to bet there's a lot more of it than we think.
Those who continue to concentrate on causing and magnifying the divisions are simply giving those in power a free hand to continue stripping middle Americans of prosperity, security and increasingly even a future.

You guys are repeating right wing propaganda to each other. Nobody is perfect. Some are better than others. A few are downright liars.

Joy has her own 2 hr show 10am-12noon I'm watching her right now it's called AM Joy, I miss Tamron Hall more than Melissa maybe if my then schedule allowed me to watch her w/end show I might've felt like you do but life gets in the way sometimes.
From what I read she "left" to make room for Megan Kelly at twice the salary Tamron made. The new honcho at MSNBC isn't making minorities feel welcome, Greta has her show (I think they might pull her show, low ratings) got rid of the Joy Reid Show and the cycle and banished Sharpton to Sunday.
