I don't usually watch Nicolle's show but I tuned in today. She looks like she's had some filling in her face to minimize the very prominent cheekbones she had, and it also looks like she had some eye work done. Normally I'd say it was a mistake, but on her, she looks so much better (not that she looked bad before). 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/53991-msnbc/page/31/#findComment-7022287

Kemper October 4, 2021 Share October 4, 2021 There is a saying about football...."you live by the pass, you die by the pass" which means doing the same thing all the time until it does not work. That is the way I feel sometimes about MSNBC. To the point that other, major news stories do not get much coverage. I know that as a country, we are driven by politics and political maneuvers. As has been mentioned above thread, the network is ill-prepared for a breaking, in-the-moment news story that does not involve politics. The huge story today was Facebook and a couple of other social platforms being shut down. For hours. Yes, the network talked about it; but it seemed to take a second chair to what was happening with the disarray in the Democratic Party. I know there are high stakes with this. But when people cannot access Facebook, like it or not, that is a huge, huge story. CNN managed to strike a balance - while also covering the oil spill in California. The trouble is, once someone tunes to another channel for a news story; there is a chance they will not come back. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/53991-msnbc/page/31/#findComment-7042413
