Thom Hartmann just said he's turned off MSNBC

He says that there are 3 progressive commentators who appear with some regularity on CNN: Van Jones, Bill Press and Katrina vanden Heuvel. He says there are none on MSNBC, so if he wants to watch news he turns to CNN.

I have done the same. CNN is hardly neutral, but it isn't 100% echo chamber.

I was starting to get fed up with wall-to-wall coverage of Trump and barely hidden support for Hillary Clinton.

They're the ones who gave Trump the launching pad for his candidacy over the last couple of years.

I used to watch the entire evening lineup on MSNBC but watch nothing now for months. I do listen to the Maddow podcast. She is trying. She's had Bernie on about 4 times now. She had her first segment last Friday about the Bernie Bird. She tries to do the best she can under the dark lords.
