A Little Bit About MSNBC

For those who don’t know, MSNBC is a 24-hour left-leaning cable news channel owned by NBCUniversal. It focuses heavily on political news and commentary from hosts like Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell, and Joy Reid.

Some of MSNBC’s popular shows include:

• Morning Joe
• The Rachel Maddow Show

The channel is included in most mainstream cable packages. But as a cord-cutter, you’ll need to use one of the following apps to access it:
