Yea but that would have required NBC execs to not actively subvert any newsworthiness the network had in the first place. I’m starting to think there is a conscious effort to do the opposite, possibly just to legitimize payouts to fascists.
It’s really weird how frankly corporate-centrist news orgs keep getting purchased and then “both sided” by execs who inevitably saddle them with insane far right fascists under the false pretense of “balance”. Look at what happened with CNN… it’s not like CNN was some socialist rag, they just didn’t actively lie like Fox News. So apparently that meant they needed to be sold to new owners who want more Jan 6 level BS, “Biden Crime Family” BS etc. all in the name of “balance”. In the context of many stories like that, it’s hard to see what happened at NBC as an accident.
It’s almost like any idiot could look back at Jan 6, at Fox News and the Dominion lawsuit, and say “that’s definitely not the proper actions of a news org, but even still it’s clearly bad for the bottom line.”
Instead NBC execs looked at people smearing shit on the capitol and said “that’s a political viewpoint we are just not representing enough.” Or a small group said “fuck this liberal noise let’s give her her dues.”
For some reason they felt very compelled to bring on someone who may cause them to absorb the risk of a BS conspiracy theory that already cost another network billions in court fines.
I don’t mean to be rude, but you use too many commas for me to figure out what exactly you’re trying to say.
They are saying nbc execs should reward her by paying her the full amount of her contract to go find another payday somewhere else.
That sounds like the easiest but absolutely worst option. I’d prefer that we not directly fund fascism.
