MSNBC's Rebrand Can't Save It From Itself

MSNBC is being forced to drop the “NBC” from its name and ditch the Peacock logo along with it. Now rebranding as MS NOW, the network is trying a makeover that few will fall for. And with Variety openly wondering how television should depict “American fascism,” the timing of MSNBC’s rebrand couldn’t look more ridiculous.

Melissa and Scott also dig into how Hollywood’s obsession with portraying “fascism” will only deepen the cultural rot, effectively sealing the coffin of the dying establishment media.
