58. MSNBC is liberal leaning but cannot become a leftwing FOX

which simply presents a false reality to its viewers. Having an editorial slant is fine as long as it is tethered to journalistic integrity.

The fact is Biden's poll numbers are very low, for a variety of reasons some under his control some not.

Nicolle Wallace was talking about this on her show the other day, how some viewers get upset about her critique of the Biden Admin and Merrick Garland etc. But the coalition of voters (ie, 'the Resistance') that put Biden in the Whitehouse is in fact disappointed about how things are going and simply voices that frustration on shows like hers, which include on her panels everyone from former Repubs to moderates to progressives.
