Not really, it is wildly out of sync with the American left and even younger Dems because its key viewers are in the 45-65 demo and those people only care about Russiagate and Trump violating norms.
MSNBC runs absolutely no pieces galvanizing and reaffirming left wing belief. They also actively tried to deboost Bernie Sanders in both Dem primaries he was in, and their morning show, Joe Biden’s favorite, is hosted by a Republican congressman who pines for the “reasonable Republicans” of the Bush era. They are fully pro-deregulation, pro-Imperialist and pro-Israel mouthpieces for the wealthy and retired liberals of yesteryear, fully out of touch with current US left wing discourse.
On the flip side, Fox sources it’s stories straight from wingnut blogs and crawls to find local stories covering things like an annual Christmas display being removed, or other bits of nothing, and build whole outrage rousing segments about looming threats to America out of them. And the Republican Party sets its messaging around what Fox gets its viewers to care about, whereas what The Dem Party cares about sets what MSBNC’s messaging to viewers is.
