    What’s the difference between NBC and MSNBC? The news from MSNBC generally seems pretty reliable to me.

      It’s complicated because of megacorp structuring. In short they’re different divisions of the same mega network which is ultimately owned by Comcast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBCUniversal

      It’s also worth noting that my comment above isn’t really about the quality or journalistic integrity of reporting, but the leadership that decided to hire an individual like Ronna McDaniel in the first place.

          My wife and I had a Comcast monopoly in our area for many years. We can’t say the word Comcast without following it with phrase “Rat Bastards”. Their service was deplorable, expensive, and obligatory if you wanted Internet service in my area. The rat bastards abused that monopoly.

          Then a municipal co-op built fiber near my house, and I’ve never been happier switching service in my life. Faster connection, less money, friendly local service.

          Yeah, I was gonna leave something spicy like “Comcast, the shittiest company in the Milky Way” in my response, but I didn’t want to detract too much from answering the question asked.
