This thread is not intended to be political. . I hope that there will be no political commentary on what I am about to say.
I have relied on MSNBC internet news in order to keep up on world events and US news for the past 8 years, or so.
I find their reports, in general, to be more balanced than many other news sources. . In general, I like their reporters and their reporting. . BUT . . . . .
There have been major changes in their general formatting over the past couple of years, although the reporting personalities, with some additions, are the same.
It is this change in the formatting that I am concerned with.
For example, the identically same news article is often re-presented with a different title a few hours later.
The dating of the articles seems to be obscured recently.
Very recently, a group of news articles seem to run on from each other in a fairly incoherent manner so that you really don't know where you are being led.
Now, you never know what report is going to be presented next, and the overriding title on the screen does not reflect the actual visual and audio.
This makes things very hard to follow . . . and quite hopeless to record links for future reference.
It used to be that you could follow news articles by the same reporter.
But not any more. . In recent months, there seems to be very little patterned organization of reports by the same reporter.
I am mainly interested in learning if major changes in management have taken place at MSNBC which have led to this chaotic state of their website.
I would be grateful for any insight provided by others who view MSNBC regularly.
As I made clear at the start, I am not interested in any political biases that may be coming through in their content.
I am trying to understand why the frequent and troublesome changes in presentation and formatting have occurred in recent months (maybe back a couple of years).
The chaotic evolution of their website continues to annoy me greatly.
