Assuming that you use Newtonsoft.Json:

You can use JObject to test if there is a property or not:

JObject jObj; //initialized somewhere, perhaps in your foreach

//check if property exists
if (msgProperty != null) {
    var mag = msgProperty.Value;
} else {
    //there is no "msg" property, compensate somehow.
}
