Conspicuous lack of any mention of MSNBC there. Even when they mention rival news channels.

Yeah I think NBC News (network news product) itself for the last few years have "moved away" from MSNBC. Lester Holt used sign off Special Reports by telling viewers to tune to MSNBC for more or something like that. Now he says turn their streaming network NBC News Now. Plus the NBC network has give away an hour of airtime on their O&Os to NBC News Daily which is simulcast on the NBC network and NBC News Now. So they are really pushing the streaming product and letting MSNBC stand on its own and they are not having any trouble attracting viewers often beating CNN. So it seems this strategy is to capture the linear viewer and streaming viewer to their product. Lots of viewers for NBC News, NBC News Now, MSNBC combined....impressive.
