    Thats the comparison you’re worried about there? Lol!

    And it’s not even a comparison. It’s an analogy. Don’t worry, I’m not expecting you to know the difference.

    So you're saying your posts are analogous to crap?
    I do wish I could disagree.

    She is out . Gone. Her history of lies and supporting lies......make her a candidate for Faux "news" & misinformation outlet.

    (this has really created a storm. Wonder if their ratings went up due to it) ;-)

    He's an opportunist with his phoney conservatism. He is purveyor of the Great Russian Collusion Lie, the Great Bloodshed Lie, the Great Insurrection Lie, the Great Hunter Laptop is Russian Disinformation Lie just to name a few all designed to effect or over turn an election and he still works there.

    So what happen to "we need to have conversations and bringing all sides into the discussion?". Only if it's a leftwing anti-Trump RINO?

    Do we need any more proof that MSNBC harbors a very deep bias?

    That must be a upsetting event at a leftist news organization hiring someone who doesn't March in lockstep.

    Not at all. Someone with integrity and who does not rely of falsehoods . Political party matters none. The issue is that it cant be a MAGA type.....as they believe and spout lies that originate from Trump..

    FACTS/ TRUTH Matter. regardless of pollical persuasion.

    It is NOT bias. They made a mistake. They should hire peple who don't have a lot of negative baggage as she did. They should hire people with integrity, and who can be objective , clear eyed and fair when it comes to reporting the FACTS about the NEWS. How peple interpret it , is their problem.

    Clearly it was. Cuz she was out of step with the facts. Making her a much better fit at Faux where being out of step with the facts is their business model.

    From a glance at all of this, I’d say it does look like NBC and MSNBC are in bed with the democrats or the liberal political philosophy. Denying a conservative a voice on their networks. MSNBC has already been branded as a liberal propaganda wing of the Democratic Party just like FOX News is the conservative propaganda wing of the Republican Party. Even so, looking at this from an election perspective, it’s no big deal. Most Americans or we could say voters could give an owl’s hoot who NBC hires or fires. Just political junkies who are dead set in their voting habits would be paying any attention to this. NBC has the right to hire and fire whoever they please.


    Having said the above, McDaniel is MAGA, like Trump I don’t consider them conservatives. They’re devoid of a political philosophy or ideology. The 7-time party switcher Trump has adopted whatever political philosophy of the political party he belonged to at the time. McDaniel is no different, she follows Trump, adheres to Trump, not a political philosophy or ideology. But it does point out to be hired and to stay at NBC/MSNBC one must be an anti-Trump liberal or progressive. But that is their audience, their viewership, liberal anti-Trumpers and NBC/MSNBC must keep them happy. Just like Fox News must keep the pro-Trump, so called conservative viewership happy with their bias political slants on the news. One last thing, Maddow is a political talk show host, not a news reporter or broadcaster. Her job is to give the democratic, liberal spiel to her democratic, liberal viewing audience. People need to realize the difference between a political talk show and actual, real, news reporting.

    Everyone, including the folks at MSNBC, acknowledges their editorial perspective. They are liberals and do not hide it. You can report the news from a liberal perspective and still maintain fidelity to the truth. But you lose your credibility when you put an overt liar who you are paying as a contributor on air. That's what upset the anchors at MSNBC and NBC. Forcing management to reverse its decision. I'm glad the brass admitted having displayed poor judgement.

    For the last time. The objection was over McDaniel's work in furtherance of Trump's attempt to overturn the election and her part in gaslighting America. She lied about the election in subservience to Trump. She even dropped Romney from her name because Trump doesn't like Mitt, Ronna's uncle. As Liz Cheney put it.........

    Ronna facilitated Trump’s corrupt fake elector plot & his effort to pressure MI officials not to certify the legitimate election outcome. She spread his lies & called 1/6 “legitimate political discourse.” That’s not “taking one for the team.” It’s enabling criminality & depravity.

    “To be clear, we believe NBC News should seek out conservative Republican voices to provide balance in their election coverage, but it should be conservative Republicans, not a person who used her position of power to be an anti-democracy election denier,” Brzezinski said. “We hope NBC will reconsider its decision. It goes without saying that she will not be a guest on ‘Morning Joe’ in her capacity as a paid contributor.”

    Nicolle Wallace, host of MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House,” later joined in the rebuke, saying on her program that the network’s decision to hire McDaniel was nothing short of a potential threat to democracy.

    “NBC News is, either wittingly or unwittingly, teaching election deniers that what they can do stretches well beyond appearing on our air and interviews to peddle lies about the sanctity and integrity of our elections,” Wallace told viewers.

    Rachel Maddow — the network’s biggest star — later devoted the first half-hour of her prime-time program to the controversy, saying the decision to hire McDaniel was “inexplicable.” Maddow took issue with McDaniel’s long track record of demonizing the news media, labeling the press as “fake news,” and launching ugly attacks on NBC News journalists and MSNBC hosts.

    Bottom line, McDaniel is a disgrace.

    The funny thing is hiring Rona would have actually helped them with their credibility issues. Most of America now sees the alphabet soup media in the same light as used car salesmen and for pretty much the same reason.

    What I like about NBC and MSNBC is that they never had to pay $700 million dollars for lying on air.

    Actually McDaniel was sleeping with Trump. I say that is lot more then “ some tie to Trump”. I say they were very intimate . very NASTY.

    But now that Trump is selling Bible, may be sleeping with another woman who is not his wife will not be so NASTY.

    I assume that now that McDaniels has been fired, she can craft a law suit against NBC. Does anyone think that perhaps Latitia James will take on NBC for their fraud? Will the case get assigned to Judge Erogen who can create a "summary judgement" against NBC and fine them for billions? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Wonder how many at MSNBC should be fired for stating Hunter's laptop was disinformation before the election? Your sense of justice only works one way. The "cultural Marxist way".

    I read she has hired a law firm to explore the possibility of a suit. But I can't help wondering if she wants to have this sort of thing discussed in court?

    Detroit News: Trump recorded pressuring Michigan canvassers not to certify 2020 vote

    The Detroit News reviewed a recording of a call former President Donald Trump made to two Michigan county officials in 2020, urging them not to certify the election results from Detroit.

    The call was previously known and reported by CNN – and condemned at the time by election experts and Michigan Democrats, who said it was a stunning attempt by a sitting president to pressure local officials to interfere with an election.

    For the first time, we are learning exactly what Trump said, according to the Detroit News. CNN has not independently obtained or verified the recording.

    RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, who was also on the call told the officials, regarding the certification: “Do not sign it. … We will get you attorneys.”

    Then, Trump added, “We’ll take care of that.”

    https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/22/politics/trump-recorded-pressuring-michigan-canvassers/index.html

    Or this.

    What the GOP meant when it called Jan. 6 ‘legitimate political discourse’

    The Republican National Committee’s attempt to unwind the controversy over its characterization of Jan. 6, 2021, as “legitimate political discourse” may have given investigators of the Capitol riot an underappreciated piece of the puzzle they’re assembling.

    According to RNC chair Ronna McDaniel, the phrase “legitimate political discourse” — part of a resolution censuring Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) for participating in the select committee probing Donald Trump’s role in Jan. 6 — was a reference to a set of nonviolent GOP activists with close ties to the national party.

    LOL, you are talking about the network where Al Sharpton is a long-time contributor. They respectfully refer to him as "reverend". Eric Holder did some paid work there as well if memory serves me correctly.

    With all of that being said, I could not care less whether or not NBC gets rid of Ronna whom was undoubtedly a turncoat being paid to say negative quips about Trump. Oh well.
