Ratings obviously do not drive MSNBC like they drive every other "for profit" cable and OTA station. "Veiled" shots at Republicans, along with an acknowledgement that the Obama administration has a a real problem on its hands over its mishandling of the Benghazi attacks is one large step for MSNBC and its hundreds of dedicated viewers. This change in course may hurt the network's ratings, if that is possible. MSNBC viewers do not tune in to watch real news.

Ultimately the will of the people is what drives how forcefully an investigation will be pursued. Lately however, we just sit on our hands about everything. Thugs from all over world are pouring across the southern border, the Canadian Pipeline won't be built as long as a liberal sits the captain's chair, Fast and Furious turned out to be neither, we have rampant organized voter fraud, a woefully eroded military, the end of NASA, personal deals between our pres and the Russian President to do what? with our defense, the Benghazi Scandals, ObamaCare, gun control foisted upon the citizens through ObamaCare, groups such as Tea Party chapters being run out of business by the IRS, nightmare abortion clinics which more aptly fit a script from "SAW" than everyday American life. And, as Rex has mentioned, an apathetic church.

In fact, apathy is our biggest downfall IMO and with the federal government insisting on policies of appeasement, apathy has become a self perpetuating engine as voters lulled into a life of security, accept government handouts and self motivation is strongly discouraged. I really wonder if folks care about anything these days.
