I don't think that's the story here since there wasn't a reversal back to the norm; MSNBC didn't hire more progressives, or replace conservatives.
Sanders has heart issues, is old as dirt, and is a foot and a half into the grave. He has no inside the beltway support, and as the inside the beltway news outlet, MSNBC is going to 1) focus on viable candidates and 2) bring on Never Trumpers to create the illusion they are being moderate while still trying to twist the knife in Trump's back. That they are not bowing down at the Bernie alter is not surprising at all. This is really no different than their tilt that lead to Melissa Harris-Perry departing the network in 2016 when they side-lined her show that discussed a wide variety of progressive issues to add in more Hillary cheerleaders.
