My take is this is gonna fail and liberals are gonna hate when they rebrand and become fox news 2 and liberals will turn away from mainstream news and more towards social media, which is even more left wing.

I don't even think most people get their news from news sites or tv anymore and this is just gonna alienate what remains of their viewerbase

Social media is not left wing, the algorithms will show you exactly what you want to see and sometimes try to steer you to the right.

It's gonna steer them to pod jons and tiktok democrats who are, despite still being liberal, are more left wing than MSNBC. They aren't socialists but it's only gonna cause more unhappiness with the dnc

Sometimes? More like always. In my experience, the average person has chud talking points programmed into them, especially when it comes to trans issues.

Last year - the average MSNBC viewer was 70. WSJ from last year - emphasis mine.

Among cable channels, the median age for TNT and Bravo viewers is 56, for HGTV it is 66, and even the once-youthful MTV’s median-age viewer is 51, according to Nielsen data. The cable news audience is even older, with MSNBC’s median age at 70, Fox News’s at 69 and CNN’s, 67. Among broadcasters, CBS’s median age is 64 and ABC’s is 66.
