    LOL byeeeeee 👋

    But also do not support NBC. Show them that hiring these kinds of contributors will not be tolerated in the first place.

      “Oh shoot, we want to emulate Nazis but we were going to keep it light”

      Mother Fuckers want the Trump ratings and the crooked tax cuts. NBC has been trying to normalize Trump for years and years.

      What’s the difference between NBC and MSNBC? The news from MSNBC generally seems pretty reliable to me.

        It’s complicated because of megacorp structuring. In short they’re different divisions of the same mega network which is ultimately owned by Comcast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBCUniversal

        It’s also worth noting that my comment above isn’t really about the quality or journalistic integrity of reporting, but the leadership that decided to hire an individual like Ronna McDaniel in the first place.

            My wife and I had a Comcast monopoly in our area for many years. We can’t say the word Comcast without following it with phrase “Rat Bastards”. Their service was deplorable, expensive, and obligatory if you wanted Internet service in my area. The rat bastards abused that monopoly.

            Then a municipal co-op built fiber near my house, and I’ve never been happier switching service in my life. Faster connection, less money, friendly local service.

            Yeah, I was gonna leave something spicy like “Comcast, the shittiest company in the Milky Way” in my response, but I didn’t want to detract too much from answering the question asked.

      They need a new Chairman. The weak sorry from Conde in a memo is not sufficient. For the head of a proper news organization, you need someone who has more respect for freedom of the press and doesn’t sacrifice principles for greed and grift.

      There is already nobody watching. That’s probably why they did this to begin with.
