Changing its mind about keeping its name, the MSNBC news network said Monday it will become My Source News Opinion World, or MS NOW for short, as part of its corporate divorce from NBC.
"During this time of transition, NBC Universal decided that our brand requires a new, separate identity. This decision now allows us to set our own course and assert our independence as we continue to build our own modern newsgathering organization."
"I was one of the Democrats that, for years, just saw Fox News as a mechanism of the Republican Party. Little did I know that MSNBC is exactly the same, probably, frankly, even more directly tied."
The Independent emphasizes the importance of having reporters on the ground during critical moments in US history, highlighting the need to objectively report on key issues affecting Americans.
