Since Election Day coverage, MSNBC viewership has cratered and the lifeboats are not fit to be used—filled with rats, they are.

Or more simply put, Comcast is tiring of being in the TV business. It has fallen behind in the streaming wars and, much like AT&T before it:
[D]ecided it doesn’t want to be tethered to a dying business.
The announced plan:
Comcast is set to spin off its NBCUniversal cable television arm, as the industry continues to struggle with the emergence of streaming giants like Netflix and Amazon Prime.
The BBC understands that the plan—set to be announced on [yesterday]—is to create a new company that will include channels such as MSNBC, CNBC, USA, E!, Syfy and the Golf Channel.
Forced to compete with the Golf Channel? Incredible. But don’t forget Bravo and Oyxgen.
AT&T did this with Warners, deciding that it did not want to own, among other properties, CNN. But Warners had a much more appealing package than NBCU has with MSNBC and Bravo.
Bottom line is whether they initially sought to suicide themselves or not, propaganda media has overstayed its welcome. The business of telling viewers what to think is all but officially dead as a for-profit enterprise.
Their corporate owners do not want them and as the Deep State crashes the economy soon after President Trump’s inauguration, they will unceremoniously shed that entire part of the business—deemed a result of the recession.
Recall, not long ago, CNN and MSNBC were tethered to communications giants. Now they are going to be spun off as channel packages. And what happens as the cable business declines? News fabricators may be forced to go back and take that course no longer taught in J School, Ethics.
Final thought: Propaganda media will not be missed in my home. I stopped watching it in the mid 1970s. Buh-bye.
