"There were problems."
NBC's newly hired GOP party boss uses flagship Sunday news platform to perpetrate the 'big lie.'
@mastodonmigration Why ever would a news organisation hire someone with such obviously compromised credibility and integrity?
@kennykravitz @mastodonmigration they live in a corporate Dem bubble, where the world is a struggle between Biden-ites and Trumpies only. Biden's main political project of his presidency has been to try to pry enough Republicans into voting his way that he can pass his watered-down shit. To corporate Dems, bringing her over to MSNBC is a triumph of gotcha politics. "You don't want this lady and her political clout and connections? Fine. We'll take her for Our Team. Take that!" That's how they see it. As if having Albert Speer airing his opinions on Voice of America would have been a blow to the Nazis.
What an idiotic take.
@mastodonmigration @kennykravitz it's a pretty good indication of how out of touch they are with general Democrat voter opinion. But maybe that's not the point. Maybe most of the MSNBC advertiser target audience shares their liberal-but-not-left worldview? I kind of doubt it, though. I think the main reason they did this is that one of the requirements for rising within that news culture is of course to think of politics as a game, a televised sport. So they "scored" the former head of the other party. Score! People who understand and can empathize with the casualties of that sport get filtered out before they reach the top.
