MSNBC (Maddow Blog / ms.now)
U.S. left
MS NOW (rebranded from MSNBC on November 15, 2025) is owned by Versant, a publicly traded company spun off from Comcast's NBCUniversal portfolio in January 2026. The network has a long-established left-leaning editorial orientation, built around liberal opinion programming and Democratic-aligned political commentary. Its coverage of the Trump administration's second term has been broadly critical, a posture reflected in the return of signature host Rachel Maddow to nightly primetime for Trump's first 100 days in office.
