Said Cenk Uygur, "co-creator of the digital outlet the Young Turks (and a onetime MSNBC contributor and host), pointing to some "Republicans and lapsed Republicans on the channel, including" Joe Scarborough.
Quoted in "MSNBC confronts viewer frustration, changes and an identity crisis/The network’s audience has declined since the Nov. 5 election, as viewers have tuned out. Its parent company is spinning it off. What happens next?" (WaPo)(free-access link).
Still, Uygur said that MSNBC’s audience — “older Democratic viewers that decide primaries” — is an important one.... While MSNBC is not on the market, according to Comcast, Uygur recently floated a potential acquisition — not unlike Elon Musk, who also raised eyebrows by asking on his X platform how much the network might cost. “Anything is possible,” Uygur said. “If you’re looking to reform MSNBC into something that is popular, it makes sense to go to a popular online network, and see if they can do the trick.”

Cenk Uygur seems off a full bubble to the left
Even Cenk now thinks that Trump is playing eleven dimensional chess.
Wow! That's the hot take of hot takes.
MSNBC a propaganda operation? Who could listen to or watch Rachel Maddow and believe otherwise?
Do they really think TV networks lead voters around by the nose? Just tweak the message to get what we want?
Because some commentators are former Republicans who became too left-wing for the Republican party, the channel is focused on getting left-wing voters to vote for the most Republican Democrat?
What will it take for left-wing "thought leaders" to recognize that the left-right divide does not revolve around them? They are not the moderate center.
Huh?
MSNBC a GOP propaganda operation? fixed it. The guy doesn't have a firm grip on reality
MSNBC could always bring back Tucker Carson and his bow-tie collection.
The best show on MSNBC is "Andrea Mitchell Reports," because it's like watching someone have a stroke on live TV.
That horrid network played Nazi rally footage and then insisted Trump's rally in NYC at Madison Square Garden was the same thing.
MSNBC is a joke.
Stink Uygur has gone off the deep end since Ana Kasparian got red pilled. It's almost like how the drones in a beehive go nuts if the queen is killed.
Damn you, Cenk...you weren't supposed to blow our cover yet!
To each his own and I understand the propaganda value of NYTWaPoo, The View Shrews and the cable crap that all refuse to die…but I don’t understand how this guy warrants attention.
The funniest thing was believing that Democrat primary voters actually matter.
Older Democrat TV viewers decide primaries? Ha! Tell that to Bernie, Kennedy Jr., etc.
If MSNBC or CNN were spun off as single public companies, they’d be BK in short order.
Exit interviews said the top issue for Republicans was not the economy but the future of Democracy itself. No institution in America pushed harder than MSNBC for the lawfare principle of locking up your political opponent before the next election can occur. MSNBC can therefore be credited with being the primary driver of Republican turnout that handed Trump the Presidency.
Yes, they do
LLRs, every one.
If MSNBC viewers are decisive in Democratic Primaries, well, that tells you something, doesn't it.
Cenk no longer argues right vs left.
He is arguing populist vs establishment uniparty across the board. For example, populist left democrats vs establishment dems aligned with uniparty establishment GOPe-ers.
He's getting closer as is his sidekick Anna Kasparian who has migrated to independent status from democrat, driven emotionally from a sexual assault she experienced and spoke about by a homeless dude and was immediately and viciously attacked by the woke left for daring to do so. They attempted to Maoist Struggle Session her and she began her walkaway.
We'll see how far her journey goes...probably alot further than Cenk's...although Cenk, to his credit, recognizes what Trump represents and the how powerful the movement Trump leads could be for years if the GOP embraces it.
Spoiler: The GOPe is busy as we speak working with Schumer and permanent deep staters to kill off any semblance of the new populist Republican base strain and return to McCain/Romney-fied "normal" republican losers...and they are doing it knowing it is a losing strategy...which is precisely what they want
Different solid polls showed other issues at the very top but its true that saving democracy was right there as well across the republican board.
Which made it hilarious watching the MSNBC-type talking heads simply assume that anyone who mentioned that issue was an anti-Trump vote.
They are seemingly genetically and "wokifully" incapable of understanding data, science, logic, reason and have combined that with an adolescent's emotional limits.
People who worry that somehow the dems will "wakeup" and adapt to reality and become more competitive have nothing to worry about in that regard. If any are capable of adapting they tend to already have moved in a libertarian and/or populist republican direction...NOT establishment republican direction. See Silicon Valley types that moved dramatically toward Trump based on Operation Chokepoint 2.0 (Marc Andreeson interview with Joe Rogan), censorship, Elizabeth Warren's corrupt CFPB, etc.
What the dems do retain is unrivaled marxist capture of institutions, a still solid widescale political/electoral cheating operation combined with a powerful sovietized "judicial" system, 95% of the entire federal deep state and a solid 50% of "republican" federal office holders.
Thats still a very potent combination.
Not to worry. Even as Cenk recognizes the power of the movement Trump leads and its permanent realignment possibilities based on Trump policies that will resonate with majorities for decades to come, Cenk is STILL utterly incapable of seeing Trump even as a human being! Its always amusing watching Cenk trying to square that circle.
Joe Scarborough thought he was in the running to be Trump's VP pick for 1st term, was sorely disappointed to find Pence picked instead. And so the Morning Joe hate-campaign ensued. Don't know how Joe and Mika can regain any credibility as suddenly unbiased newsources.
Any commentary from Stink U-Turd is about worthless tbh. Fan away the stench from your airspace and dismiss him.
Who cares? As long as Al Sharpton can shake down campaigns for his race grift apparently...
