Why would most of the MSM want to hear 2 sides of anything? It would get in the way of doing "Copy-Paste Journalism." Whether it is Fox, MSNBC, NBC, etc they just Copy-Paste the narrative talking points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious as to why a complete nihilist like yourself even bothers to post on a political forum? Does complete immunity from any argument make you feel powerful?

NBC has several Republican hosts, anchors, commentators. They are reasonable, honest, thoughtful. There is a big difference between Republicans and, those who wish to entrench wealth, destroy democracy, dictate morality (fascists). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no choices because there are no differences thus, no arguments. Wrong. Old man go get back on your meds. I am specifically rejecting the complete corrupt mess that these two parties have devolved into. I support individual candidates and cast votes for those I truly believe could make a difference. This may be the rare third-party election like Perot in 1992 or Jill Stein in 2016. I am just plain tired of 1) voting against that guy-2004 2) voting for the lesser of two evils-2020. We deserve far better candidates who at least have a chance to solve real problems facing middle-class America. I am sorry to tell you that neither party has that candidate at the moment. Screaming "Lock her up" or "Russians-Russians-Russians" has done nothing but drive us apart. If you have been in office 30+ years, you have zero solutions left. You are the problem. trump has only 4 years in office and has all the wrong solutions to all the problems as well.

auburnatl1 4,973 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 NBC is liberal and Fox is Trump land. And the sky is blue. What’s the debate (imo cnn recently is the closest to moderate - left of center)?

Each weak they pick the 20% that supports their pov (ie he’s anti vax and woke) and blast it all over their web page, but completely ignore the other 80% where he supports Biden and goes off on how trump is an idiot and most of the gop (and Fox) is certifiably nuts.

Focusing on this particular case, do you think refusing to hire an election denier is a sign of "liberalism" or is it simply conforming to a sensible standard for a news organization? The missed opportunity here would have been hiring her on the condition that she publicly admitted she was lying about the election being stolen. Assuming I felt there was value in having her general experience and insight on the staff - that's what I would have done. Without that, you become less of a news organization than a purveyor of lies. Edited March 30 by homersapien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I suspect the executives at NBC wanted to preserve their image in the market, instead of devaluing it. (Which is maybe why they created MSNBC in the first place.) They didn't want NBC to become a liberal version of Fox. Edited March 30 by homersapien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want balance you can hire an old school conservative, but if you want todays maga conservative you’re going to get an election denier by nature. It was a naive hire by the nbc execs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
