"McDaniel was offered a more lucrative contributor contract after she agreed to appear on MSNBC and not just NBC News"
I may write about the irony of all of this for my weekend blog post.
This is the problem right here:
"In a friendly call between Jones and McDaniel, the two spoke about the . . need to have differing views on the airwaves."
People don't need "differing views."
They need facts.
The way MSNBC presents "news" the facts gets lost in an avalanche of opinions, speculation, and conjecture.
They are making their viewers less informed and angrier.
Julie Goldberg@Teri_Kanefield This is such a crucial distinction! We need to hear from people who have a range of views about policies and political philosophies. We don’t need a variety of views about what is and is not a fact.
KennethThe truth doesn't care about our needs or wants. It doesn't care about our governments, our ideologies, our religions. It will lie in wait for all time. And this, at last, is the gift of Chernobyl. Where I once would fear the cost of truth, now I only ask: "What is the cost of lies?"
