MSNBC host Jen Psaki admitted Tuesday that her cable news network’s liberal-leaning audience only tunes in to watch coverage of President Trump that is “typically not going to be positive.” Viewers of the embattled network don’t expect to hear favorable news coverage or commentary about the commander-in-chief, Psaki, the onetime press secretary for President Joe Biden, revealed during an appearance on “The Grill Room” podcast.
“There’s obviously a rooted value in the kind of … that MSNBC viewers expect of like we’re going to talk about the opposition, and we’re going to talk about what the opposing party is up to, in terms of the Democrats, and we’re going to talk about future leaders and things,” she told Dylan Byers.

There’s not like a North Star thing written on a card, and everybody does it slightly differently, but I think that’s fairly the vibe.” Psaki noted that while she has featured Republicans on her cable news program, she’s never been directed by her bosses to appeal to right-leaning viewers.

It’s less about telling the news (reporting facts) and more about selling a story, a certain world view (journalism).
Brendan Carr. I’ve heard him speak; he seems tough.
MSNBC does not have a broadcast license since they have no over the air footprint.
That said—if all NBC local affiliates had their broadcast licenses yanked it would be a plus for the country.

Incoherent rambling. I couldn’t make sense out of it.
