The disgraced far-left outlet known as MSNBC has decided that it will try to put some lipstick on a pig to rebrand. Unsurprisingly, social media users have some provocative thoughts.

As the Associated Press reported, MSNBC will be changing its name later this year as part of its corporate divorce from MSNBC. Moreover, it will remove the peacock symbol.

The network will soon be known as My Source News Opinion World, or MS NOW. The AP notes that NBC Universal ordered the name change.

In November, NBC Universal spun off cable networks USA, CNBC, MSNBC, E! Entertainment, Oxygen, and the Golf Channel into its own company, Versant. But, on an interesting note, the rest of the outlets spun off will NOT be changing their names.

Yes, even CNBC is keeping its name. So why is MSNBC the exception?

“This was not a decision that was made quickly or without significant debate,” MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler said in a memo to staff obtained by the AP.

“During this time of transition, NBC Universal decided that our brand requires a new, separate identity,” she added. “This decision now allows us to set our own course and assert our independence as we continue to build our own modern news gathering organization.”

Social media users had pretty provocative thoughts on the move, with many comparing it to something related to multiple sclerosis. Others also noted the horrible log.
