I have noticed that Msnow's Ali Velshi seems to be the only news reporter bringing attention to how much the Christian Nationalist cult is steering the policies of this administration. I've not seen anyone else doing as intensive a job as he.

Nicole Wallace's interview with Jack Smith was important, also.

Ali Velshi always puts on a credible, well informed show. He’s the best of the best.

I agree with you about MSNOW. Only my wife watches CNN now because of Kaitlin Collins and Anderson Cooper. I would not be surprised to see these two and Scott Kelly join MSNOW in the very near future.

That interview with Jack Smith was great! And Lawrence O’Donnell interviewing the Democrat candidate from Iowa was spot on!

Lawrence absolutely tells it like it is. And Nicole’s show with Jack Smith was one of the best informative interviews I’ve seen in a long time. I really like Ali Vitalli’s Way Too Early to start the day with fact based news. I turn it to something else when Morning Joe starts. Haven’t watched them since they bent the knee and kissed the ring.

The Saudi’s not only murdered Khashoggi, Saudi’s financially backed Al Qaeda and 9/11. It’s one thing to have diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia’s royalty, but something very different having the US President in their pockets.

I hope they don't totally gut CNN. I watch it from time to time. I genuinely stay away from the news because I cringe every time i hear them say President Trump. He’s a menace to society.

I was thrilled to see indy journalists Aaron Parnas and V Spehar on Ali’s show last week!! 💙

Msnow has handled the situation with a rogue President well. Reporting and having legal experts, and asking questions we all have about what is happening without a spin but a real kitchen table talk. My family’s table back in the 6o’s, to the 80’s was a professor from the local university, a guy who worked selling chalk and crayons to schools, 2 county workers and one Union steward plumber working for GE….. lots of opinions and some agreement but the coffee and cake was always good…

Reminds me of that when I watch Msnow and on Saturday they added crooked media on Saturday night and Jacob during the day!!

Agree, MS Now very much an improvement over MSNBC. The changes in anchors and programming, bigger roles for people like Antonia Hylton, David Rhodes, Michael Feinberg and Pablo Torre—all positive changes.

Luke Russert! Jacob Soboroff! Michael Steele! Simone Sanders! …and on and on…

Totenberg should have been sent packing after her coverup of Ginsburg's physical decline was revealed. She's 82 now and has stayed too long at the fair. Why can't these over-the-hill hacks and pundits figure out when it's time to retire?

We all knew she was fighting cancer … what coverup?

Agree about MS NOW, including the critique of Joe. It's time for him to retire, or at least take a back seat. His rants drive me crazy. I respect his knowledge but, good grief, let the guests speak! Love all the contributors. Also like the independent journalists like Sam Stein, Tim Miller, etc., and Rick Wilson, on occasion.

Thank you, Mark for the confirmation of CNN is definitely getting worse. MS Now has put Stephanie Ruhl at 9am and ALi Velshi at 10 pm.

Thank you, Mr. Jacob.

Ari Melber, Chris Hayes, Lawrence O Donnell and Rachel Maddow…I love their commentaries because they bring an emotional depth you rarely see these days in journalism.

Poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox warned in her 1914 poem, Protest:

“The few who dare, must speak and speak again, to right the wrongs of many.”

The Fourth Estate was built to speak truth to power — not to quietly sit by while power mocks them to their faces. Silence in the face of contempt isn’t dignity; it’s surrender.

When people take a stand—especially when it is dangerous to do so—often become the architects of destiny.

I hope MSNow will continue to forge ahead as things get worse.

We should WORRY?!! The capture is nearly complete! Seems a little LATE to be WORRYING about it NOW!

MY COUNTRY HAS BEEN CAPTURED BY A FOREIGN MILITARY REGIME!! (Why do I keep seeing this “vision” about the RCMP galloping down the streets to save us?!)

CNN has sucked for years. MS Now has always been steadfast in the truth.
