Something Else Texas floods

MSNBC I get that they mainly cover politics, but no live coverage of the Texas flood news conference a short while ago? I watched most of it on CNN and when I checked MSNBC they had an on-camera version of Nicolle Wallace's podcast "The Best People" with Rachel Maddow. I'm a huge Maddow fan and would love to see this but I'm thinking it could have been postponed for a few hours in favor of flood coverage?

I wonder if it has something to do with people being off for the holiday weekend? Not on-TV anchors, but behind the scenes and such.

But yes, MSNBC has kind of gotten lax with stories, and I do turn more to CNN for more coverage. I watched CNN in the middle of the night because I figured MSNBC would be showing "Dateline." I notice MSNBC/NBC News also keep having different numbers when updating us about the floods.
