Lawrence O’Donnell tells it like it is. I can count on him for the truth of what’s going on in Washington D.C. that will effect the rest of the country and the world. He is the best at delivery.

I am paying for this subscription, and the episodes take two days to update. Contacted MSNBC/NBC, and they basically gaslighted me. Why can’t I hear the episode the same day it airs? Usually a couple of hours after the show airs on the network, but lately, it’s two days old by the time I can hear it! Who is scamming? Apple or MSNBC?
Changing this to premium only is a horrible idea and will only further demonstrate poor business practices. Oh and even less people will watch or listen to the programming.
