a couple liberal voices at msnbc. and in between, if you're tuned in for either one of those or for both of those, we wanna just give you the facts, we wanna give you the information. what i can sorta specialize in is i can try to break down the numbers and try to make some sense of it. and whatever side you're on, i'm trying to give you some information. so, that's what i see happening, i hope is happening, i hope people are getting out of msnbc. but also, i take your point and i think about it all the time and i think it's very true. more than ever, people can pick their news. and i get the feedback all the time and i tell myself i hope it's not too representative of what's out there, but especially in an election season, how many people on the left, if it's a headline that is at all critical of hillary clinton, "how dare you? "you're only helping donald trump." and on the right, if it's a headline that's at all critical of donald trump, "how dare you?" and i think that's destructive. - well, stay buckled up for the
