What's the consensus on the new MSNOW format and news coverage? [View all]

Anyone have any opinions they'd like to share? I do!

I really like their independent news gathering from Carol Loenig and others. So far I don't miss their access to NBC. They have a good foreign affairs journalist stationed in Dubai who covers the Iran war very well, too.

But what I really like is their recent series of interviews with voters that flips the old "white maga voter in a diner" stereotype on its head. Lately, when they cover trump's abysmal poll numbers, they pivot to man or woman on the street interviews in which people of all stripes give their opinions about affordability or other issues. It's amazing how easy it is to find voters who disapprove of the president just as these polls show. Not sure when other outlets will figure this out.

Of course, their evening programming, especially Lawrence, remains great.
