Erik Wemple: “The takeaway from all this? MSNBC has sidelined pro-Trump voices… The result is a programming model in which hosts and guests compete against one another to fashion the sharpest denunciations of the Trump regime.”
“The downside? Vast expanses of predictable programming in which people passionately agree with one another.
”“In pre-Trump times, MSNBC’s current programming model would have been outright journalistic fraud. In Trump days, not so much — and we have daily proof over at CNN: The segments featuring that network’s Trump-supporting contributors are loud, chaotic and poisoned by frequent distortions.”
“At least CNN viewers get to hear the pro-Trump arguments in all their fact-deprived glory, however. I lean toward the CNN model, but not enough to strain my calves.”
