"If you spend more than 20 minutes a week watching the channel formerly known as MSNBC, you know what I'm talking about. Thick-rimmed glasses, check. A haircut suitable for Wall Street or a D.C. think tank, check. A pensive glare that suggests I know more about politics than you and President Donald Trump combined, check. Flip on MS NOW, and odds are, you're going to see it staring right back at you."
"Joe Scarborough in the morning, Chris Hayes in the evenings, and reporter Jacob Soboroff at any point that he pops up throughout the day. A few MS NOW women have the look too, like Rachel Maddow although she prefers to wear contacts on TV and Stephanie Ruhle, when she opts for her spectacles. Joe Scarborough Several other MS NOW'ers put there own twist on it, too."
A recognizable 'MS NOW Face' combines thick-rimmed glasses, conservative haircuts, and a pensive glare associated with MSNBC hosts, commentators, and reporters. The look appears on figures such as Joe Scarborough, Chris Hayes, Jacob Soboroff, Rachel Maddow, Stephanie Ruhle, Ali Velshi, Jonathan Capehart, Michael Steele, Peter Baker, and Molly Jong-Fast, with individual variations in hair, frames, and style. The aesthetic traces influence to Keith Olbermann and persists after his departure. The style extends beyond television into urban neighborhoods like the Upper West Side and Georgetown, creating numerous lookalikes and a visible cultural stereotype tied to media professionalism.
