DAN GAINOR: Leftist MSNBC changes its name, but it’s still the same embarrassment
The far left network lost its tie to the newsy term “NBC" and looks more like some feminist retread site for aging Karens.
Now, MSNBC is MS NOW. As MSNBC leaves NBCUniversal for Versant (formerly, SpinCo.), the cable news channel is rebranding to an acronym that stands for My Source for News, Opinion and the World. Right, so the MS no longer stands for Microsoft, but it’s still there.
The rebranding — which stands for My Source for News, Opinion, and the World — comes as Comcast spins off several of its cable networks into a new company called Versant. The change will drop both the NBC name and the peacock logo from MSNBC 's branding.
