MSNBC
U.S. left / progressive
MSNBC — now rebranded as MS NOW — is a U.S. cable news channel with a pronounced left-of-center, progressive editorial identity. Formerly owned by NBCUniversal (a Comcast subsidiary), it was spun off in January 2026 into Versant Media Group, a new independent publicly traded cable company. Its coverage of the Trump administration's second term is broadly critical, consistent with its longstanding orientation toward the Democratic Party and the progressive left.
