Why did NBC fire Rhona McDaniels ?

It seems that NBC has decided that it only wants DNC approved news. A person
that isn't part of the Progressive wing, is not allowed to be heard.

I heard that Hitler also would not let the Jewish people have a voice in the government
controlled media.

Worse yet, NBC can't make up it's mind about how to deal with Trumpworld.

I think it has a lot less to do with the DNC than it does with the RNC, as well as journalistic and commercial concerns.

Either way, someone at NBC hired her, knowing who and what she is, and someone then fired her.

@MistyCee Less to do with the DNC???? The MSM meets with the DNC everyday
for their orders. Or maybe the MSM is giving the orders. hmm🤔
@DogMan Are you clear about who's giving the orders?

I'm not denying bias or parallel motivations, but I think it's worth considering that maybe the DNC and the mainstream media may share common values and concerns that the RNC no longer seems to be concerned with in the Trump era.

Edit. Whoops. you made the whose giving orders point. Sorry.

@MistyCee No, they are working hand in hand. Have you ever noticed that every single
news story comes out at the exact same time from all the mainstream networks? Not
only that, but all of them have the exact same buzz words, and talking points. This happens
with every issue. It's obvious they all get their orders at the same time.
@DogMan The timing issue is pretty silly, when you think about it, with every network trying to keep current, and yes, clearly collaborating with each other at times.


The buzz words and talking points thing, I suppose, is a slightly better point, but you need to connect it with DNC press releases or something to make that connection, and even then, with some examples, a mutual predilection for objective, non-alternate facts, as well as educational bias could explain things better than a malicious or deliberate nefarious conspiracy.

For example, if the story is that Trump asked about nuking hurricanes or drinking bleach, and there's tape of him doing it, it makes sense to report it that way.

Moreover, there are mutual reasons why the MSM and the DNC might want the story to run. Does it make Trump look bad? Sure. Do both the DNC and the Press have a motivation to report when Trump looks bad? Sure.

But when he's President, or even running for President, I think it can genuinely be fodder for both horses.

@MistyCee Thank you for making another point that I forgot. You mentioned the bleach
story. I remember all the MSM folks saying the same thing there too. They all made the
same talking points that made it sound like he told people to drink bleach, when he clearly
did not say that. SOMEBODY put them up to that, and did not allow them to listen to the
speech. How could all of them come up with the exact same lie, at the exact same time?
@DogMan If I remember correctly, what he did say wasn't quite go drink bleach, but it was too close for comfort.

But there's a good example. Joking aside, I'm not on Soros payroll, nor am I getting paid by anyone to post here. So, if I repeat some urban/cyber legend, its more likely I'm being careless than that I'm conspiring with the DNC or the MSM.

That shouldn't happen with professional journalists, and they should distinguish between rumors and what was actually said. It's really hard with Trump, because he says lots of bizarre half baked stuff, but I think we do better by calling out sloppy and unprofessional journalists then lumping them all into some vast conspiracy.

@MistyCee Thank you, and you are right, it is hard to follow a lot of the stuff Trump says.

I believe that his mouth is his worst enemy. I did not want him to run, but I believe someone
needs to counter all this woke stuff. Unfortunately the hate for Trump will dominate the
headlines for 4 years if he is elected, and that really sucks. Trump hate will be one of
the most important jobs in the country for many people.

As far as Trump, I do believe the conspiracy against him is pretty vast. The DNC and
MSM are out to destroy him at all costs. I believe the hate runs so deep that the
progressive wing would celebrate if he was assassinated.
@DogMan I can't speak for the progressive wing, but I personally don't see Trump getting assassinated ending well for the country. Granted, Rome hung on for awhile, and Christianity has some some good things, but it was a hell of a lot more stable, and Jesus' teachings were relatively benign as originally taught.

Now, I honestly do think we might all be better off if he chokes on a cheeseburger or something, but even then, well, look at MTG and the Baltimore Bridge.
