For the most part, cable news is a vast wasteland of screaming heads telling you why their political beliefs are the only way this country should operate.

The cable news talking heads, spew their hate, along with their opinion in what is really nothing that resembles “news”.

But, when something like is happening in Ukraine happens, it is the few times when cable news can be worth watching.

With 24 hour coverage, they can really bring you deeper into the story, then say the 1/2 hour nightly network news.

With that being said, we were a bit surprised to see that MSNBC has already given up on covering the Ukraine situation in the overnight hours.

It appears that MSNBC is back to reruns of old Dateline episodes.

Of course, this is likely a move to save money.

It cost nothing to re-rack and old Dateline, while it cost a lot to cover the war in the Ukraine.

But, don’t you expect a “24-hour cable news channel” to do just that?

Shame on NBC.
