I'm sure a lot of them leave it on but I'd be scared to know what percentage of them actually watch hours upon hours of that shit every day. They are proud to do it and I'm sure they virtue signal about it. It can be part of the lib identity. I once ended up reading some NYT articles about an old fashionista guy who was a typical lib and he watched a ton of MSNBC every day.

You watch seven hours a day of MSNBC.

Confirm.

[...]

You don’t like it when Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski dress like twins.

Confirm.

He was interviewed by Maureen Dowd.

My grandmother watches it constantly, it's basically all she talks about when I see her. She's obsessed with MSNBC and CNN.

When Trump was president - I used to hate watch MSNBC. It could be pretty funny. Lawrence O'Donnell might dedicate the first ~15m of his show to being outraged about something trivial. It might go like this "Today, Trump made an objectionable comment previously unthinkable by any American president..." I'd know O'Donnell was talking about tweet because he didn't say "Trump said..." And the tweet would be something like Trump making fun of the media and called reporters "losers".

But the last couple years MSNBC is usually unbearable. Trump's out of office so there's very little that's funny. Day after day they are stuck in a time loop with small variations on endless Biden/dem cheerleading, insanely obsessive Trump following/bashing, plus their continuing confusion about how/why "today's republican party" lost its way.

I sometimes still turn it on at the top of the hour. It's often a waste of time but there are occasional glimpses into the lib mind. The other day a legal expert seemed to be talking out loud to himself to convince not only the audience but himself too that the "conservative justices" might actually side with Colorado and keep Trump off the ballot. As if GOP justices would do that. The network is often in bizarro world.

Yeah, I can tell just from talking to my grandmother. She's now the vote bit that we do where her solution to everything is vote

She supports Palestine at least, but I have a feeling it could be related to her casual anti-Semitism lol
