The 11th Hour with Brian Williams might as well be called "The Donald Trump Show". Just like it did in 2016, MSNBC gives Trump millions of dollars of free advertising, just so they can keep up their relatively anemic ratings. Williams is the worst of the bunch. His show is typically 80% Trump and 20% something else (usually related to Trump). Sure, it's all "negative," but Trump learned a long time ago (from Roy Cohn) that there is no such thing as bad publicity. It gives Trump something to scream "fake news" about, nothing more. MSNBC knows that too, yet they give Trump more air time than anyone except (maybe) Fox News. And it's all for the $$$. MSNBC knows their base audience loves it, because it's really nothing more than political masturb*tion.
