Ben (https://meiselasb.bsky.social) raises good issues. MeidasTouch network thrives w/o outside investors, and can run lean as-is. If high overhead MSNBC was acquired by Cuban, that means constant pressure on Meidas reporters/higher-ups -- to be profitable. It's a biz.

But for that to work he would need to retain sole ownership or turn it into a trust. Because honest news and profit don't mix.
OT but relevant -- sadly, viewers today often confuse commentary w/hard news (serious need for media literacy and critical thinking skills there).
And frankly you would be buying the MSNBC name and talent not their cable obligations. Cable is dead. It has to go streaming if it's to survive.
It's then just a cable talk channel w/no news div. Gamble for Cuban is reaching more eyeballs, when audiences are going online. 🤷🏽♀️
A major priority for Dems needs to be re-establishing the Fairness Doctrine. You shouldn't be allowed to call yourselves 'news' if all you do is lie.
Mark Cuban would probably be better off starting from scratch if that were the direction he wants to go.
That man has kept me sane over the last few years. I have been a huge fan of all the MTN crew and have watched them constantly (too much, if I'm honest), but Badd had our backs long before them. He needs promoting on here.
I mean seriously, how bad can this get??
Need hosts, people want to engage with, attend live events with and enjoy hearing from.
