  1. How is he being naive? He had total awareness of the situation and was constantly explaining how 'bizarre' it is that they're all just doing a 180 at the same time. It doesn't change the fact that it's still good news because it means that CEOs and people at the top have decided that the progressive message has won. David never said we shouldn't treat these changes with skepticism and nuance but this ultimately is a very good sign.

  2. I think everyone here is focusing too much on Joy Reid and taking this too personally. The broader thing people should be focused on is that the people at the top of the pyramid have clearly decided that the progressive message is winning and the only way to deal with it is to accept it. Joy Reid has always just been a mouthpiece just like everyone else at MSNBC, the real decision to focus on is how the executives have made a calculating decision that the progressive way is the way to win and going against us is only evading the inevitable. Nobody should trust Joy Reid or MSNBC, that's not what David's saying at all, but you should view this as a victory because if this means MSNBC is just going to start backing progressive policies and candidates, then that means progressives will be able to take over in Washington faster than we thought and we might actually have things like Medicare for All in 2 years if we're lucky and things keep on moving in this direction.

  3. It's like all the NBC CEOs got together and decided "We gotta go the route of progressives, it's the only way to win" and then told all their puppets in the media to start backing progressive candidates and ideas. Looks like we won the civil war!

  4. That was my first instinct. Seems like a decision from the bosses for sure.
