“You’re Fired!”

“The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien” lasted longer.

Weird. The shortest employee stint in NBC history was on the longest running television show in TV history.

This story makes me more sure than ever that the “journalists” (excuse me while I laugh out loud) on that network will never broadcast any honest news. They’re like bratty kids who through a super bad tantrum to get the parents to give them their way. Incidentally, I have often looked at “news” on that channel to compare with the same stories on Fox because I want to see both sides. Those talking heads are afraid of letting another point of view be heard by their viewers. The management needs to find some guts donors.

Spouting Lies is NOT an opinion!

Fox propaganda gets sued for billions for lying and sexual harassment.

Management hired her, the actual reporters on the channel fired her.

Either the lying right ring Trump POC could go or they would go.

My opinion is that the sun rises in the west. I want my opinion heard.

NBC’s like that container ship that destroyed the bridge in Baltimore. It is unable to correct its course. The wreck is inevitable.

Talk about other opinions, mentally ill republicans still can’t believe Biden is the real president. These people are totally unable to cope with reality.

So the Right has no way of giving out their viewpoints?

Just another bonehead move by NBC. And when the dust settles, the lawsuit will big a big payday. Not unlike their phony staged exploding pickup trucks.

NBC hired Marc Short, former VP Pence’s Chief of Staff, and there was no outcry from NBC employees. Why? Because unlike McDaniel, he is not a liar beholden to a cult leader.

Being willing to lie for The Cult Leader is today’s GOP litmus test. Kelley passed it.

No rewards for traitors

So NBC sees the error of their ways. More power to them. I guess Kelley liked the lies.

‘Afraid’ of lies and propaganda. I’ll take it.

Lies and incompetence don’t constitute an opinion. They do result in bad editorial cartooning, though.

Knowingly lying and supporting opinions are not the same thing!

Opinion?

Those are usually based on FACTS, right? Not wishful thinking. Not lying.

Maybe if she had ever said something along the lines like, “Donald Trump LOST the election” her opinion would be worth getting paid for.

I have 787 million reasons why Fox News isn’t “fair and balanced”.

I really wonder why people reply to pretend cowboys who believe repeating “THE BIG LIE” is a qualification for being a talking head.

This is another example of the main stream media failing to do the job of simply telling the truth. They have failed miserably because they wanted to tell all sides of the story, even when they were well aware, or at least should have been that one side was making up the facts as they went along.

The media in rural America has been deliberately designed by 1%ers to produce MAGAts. They own the news outlets that broadcast the conservative propaganda. These are people who were raised listening to Rush Limbaugh and then Fox News. In some areas, the only actual news is on the local main stream networks, and they have bent over backwards for years to not take sides, even when one side is obviously lying. And, the people they have coffee with, go to church (or the bar) with etc are dealing with the same situation. That means that real people that you trust are backing up what you are getting from the propaganda machine. Unless you are a really intelligent, involved person, you are going to accept the world you see, unaware that it has been paid for and organized by people who are working against your best interests.

If the media is to be worth anything, they have to report what is being said and then explain how well it conforms to reality. Their failure to do this for the last few decades has produced a population that can’t tell when they are being lied to, and given us Trump.

The two dozen or so people who watch MSNBC will be happy to know that she’s gone.

NBC and it’s stations have many real Republican-conservatives on staff, some with their own shows on MSNBC. This MAGA-RINO is an admitted insurrectionist, liar, conspiracy theorist and traitor to the U.S. She tried to overturn a legitimate election. NBC airs opposing views. They oppose airing sedition.

Ronna, you and that briefcase with the “opinion” canard written on the side can just get on down the road.

LIE is not spelled “ o p i n i o n “, and even though MSNBC execs don’t know that (or didn’t care, expecting to attract eyeballs [make money via enhanced advertising revenue]), on-air network employees do.

Not to worry, of course, Ms McDaniel. Your RWNJ “MEDIA” stock just soared. Expect a big, regular paycheck from one of those fellow-deceit oriented entities any minute now.

MSNBC’s bird is a chicken, how appropriate, as in a lying chicken sh$t organization.

incorgbl, if your eyes see that Bible as upside down, they ARE lying to you. You see it that way because you were told to. When liberal fact check entities like the NYT, and many others confirm it was not upside down, and you still believe it and propagate that falsehood, you are no better than the other propagandists and conspiracy theorists you claim to despise.

“Another opinion”? Packs of demonstrable lies are now just “another opinion”?

Hers are not ‘another opinion;’ hers are lies.

I wonder if she went home and told her husband and kids, “my pimp took me off his roster, so you can call me romney again.”

During that hour and a half when she had the NBC job, ronna was like, “HeII yeah, trump lost in 2020! I was lying!!”

Now, when she’s in the minor leagues, trying to get a job at oan or newsmax, I wonder if she’ll be like, “I was lying about lying!! Can you spare a job? Clearly, I’ll say anything!!!”

A policy of not hiring liars. How unfair.

FLASH NEWS: NBC has announced that Dylan Mulvaney will replace recently fired Ronna McDaniel in its news division.

Flat-out lies, disinformation, sycophancy, and aiding and abetting a criminal conspiracy to overturn an election is NOT “opinion”.

There’s a reason why most Republicans don’t want to be interviewed on that network – they call out the stupid lies, propaganda, and disinformation for what it is using empirical data and actual FACTS. No, they run and hide with the “entertainment” network, FOX, where lies and right-wing slander and propaganda is encouraged as “opinion”.

In an alternate Ghostbusters reality, where lies and propaganda come to roost:

Lara Trump: “Do you believe in UFOs, astral projection, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, pizzagate, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster, Trump’s tweets, COVID-19 is a Democrat hoax, the 2020 election was stolen, vaccines have demon sperm, and the theory of Atlantis?”

RNC employee applicant: “Lady, if there’s a steady paycheck in it, I’ll believe anything you say. But do I really have to wear that stupid hat, though?”

The MSNBC staff pundits showed her the the Exec’s the door. Incidentally, this showsthe total weakness of their spines!!

She ain’t normal—-would YOU want to work with somebody who called you lies for 5 years in a row?

No legitimate source of news, not entertainment, would want a prevaricating supporter of insurrection and election denial on their staff, if they want to be taken as trustworthy

Even FOX had to draw the line somewhere, when they jettisoned some of their “talent” for being too obviously outrageous, ant-American, dangerous, or engaged in criminal sexual harassment activities. Traitor fTucker, who was fired and went to Moscow to suck Putin’s ring and was ridiculed in disgust by that dictator, is a case in point. Even hostile nations are disgusted by traitors – but not right wing creeps.

And it has cost that network dearly (not that they care) even as they are still the go-to self-described “entertainment” network / tabloid for airing every whack-a-do conspiracies and their liars who are able to skim just above the threshold of treason, defamation, and libel.

Only in right wing politics and among their brainwashed supporters and media are treasonous activities, misinformation, dangerous propaganda, and flat-out LIES considered to be “Opinion” that must be broadcast and presented as truth.

And, of course, violent attempts to overthrow an election, including death threats and actual actual acts of violence and insurrection, goaded by right wing media are considered “Legitimate Political Discourse”, and established scientific and medical facts and empirical truth are considered “junk science”.

If the jury was packed with brainwashed MAGAs, the movie ‘My Cousin Vinnie’ would have a different ending… and two innocent boys would be fried.

Meanwhile, today a grand jury has recommended disbarment for another of #45’s shyster lawyers, Sidney Powell, who holds the same “opinions” as Ronna McDaniel.

Just another set of inconvenient facts ignored by the brainwashed MAGAs and their favorite cartoonist,

“Is the witness expressing an opinion or a fact?”

“It’s a fact! There is no way those tire marks were made by a 1962 Buick Skylark. They were made by a 1963 Pontiac Tempest! Would you like me to explain?"

Meanwhile, another shyster lawyer, John Eastman, who actually tried to express opinion as fact in a court of law is also facing, at best, disbarment.

Is it important – timing wise – that – She was canned – NBC hired her – Trump mocked her – NBC fired her?

To knowingly lie is not the same as giving an opinion!

How much will you have to pay her to get out of this Jam. Your employees slandered her, even though she deserved it, cause of political bias. What is wrong with you guys? Maybe what ever her contract said, plus another 15%?

They hired her for her opinions. They dumped her because of the outrage of their staff over her lies.

Could someone show me the Republican commentators on MSNBC. I do really like to hear opposing ideas. As for Fox, thre are those who identify as commentators, but there also real news programs. About the fines, yourreference is about ONE person, Tucker Carlson and he is no longer there because of his own mistakes so he can’t be picked as a representative o Fox News’s position. Guests with different views are invited on many of theFox shows, and get to speak freely with respect. Renowned constitutional lawyers who have taught law for years (some even lifelong Democrats) are better at interpreting legal questions than the attack dogs on MSNBC where direct quotes of Trump and others are cut short before the important point of the speech is turned a 180 to make it mean the opposite of what was really said. I’ve seen this by comparing the same story on the two channelsmany times.

The national networks report the news. FOX makes it up as it goes. Which network settled a defamation claim for almost $1 BILLION? Which network has other defamation claims pending? Ronna McDaniel tried to overthrow the government and some consider that “another point of view”?

While I agree with her termination, I do feel sorry for her in that she is just one more person sucked in by Orange Jesus who has paid a price for throwing in with him. The only person, besides those he has pardoned, who has not paid a price is Orange Jesus. Yet

gccowboy27: only one station is ’’news’’ and the other is ‘’opinion & propaganda’’. Your problem is you cannot tell the difference. [hint: fox is not now or ever news]

Some things simply do not have two sides to them. Being a traitor is one of them.
