It sounds like NBCUniversal News Group needs a new chairman. The explanation and justification for such a terrible hiring ought to have serious, long lasting consequences. There are blunders and then there are those who exchange freedom of the press for greed and grift. This should not be soon forgotten.
“I want to personally apologize to our team members who felt we let them down,” he said. “While this was a collective recommendation by some members of our leadership team, I approved it and take full responsibility for it.”
These statements always seem so facile when “taking responsibility” means no consequences apart from issuing an apology.
"Ranted" is an exaggeration as she was exceedingly professional, yet passionate and surprisingly candid. I never really cared about her either way until I listened to her podcast Bag Man. It is incredible. And true! Now I realize she's completely awesome and have a whole new respect for her...
You can only have "both sides" to things that are based in reality, not bad faith. Hiring her to "balance" things was an impossibility, since she peddles in bad faith and conspiracy theories.
What was her actual job going to be? Was she just going to be a talking head that would give “the other side.” AKA, lies about election fraud and whatnot.
These fucking ghouls should be tattooed with an ink that glows under black light. Humanity fails if they are ever able outrun the shame of what they've done.
