How bad must MSNBC or CNN become before they feel shame?

Photosnark by Rich Terrell
How can O'Donnell keep his job?  . . . "So O'Donnell did not go through the "rigorous verification and standards process"?
"Imagine your airline saying the pilot did not go through the "rigorous verification and standards process" and crashed the plane that your family was in.  Or the doctor operating on your relative.  Or the lawyer writing your loan agreement.
"By any professional standard, MSNBC should dismiss O'Donnell and make an example of his reckless behavior.
"In fact, it could be the best thing that could happen to the media.  It would send a message that sources must be verified, especially if they are telling you something "too good to be true" about President Trump."
"MSNBC's problem is that it's trained its audience to expect something bizarre every night about Trump.  It's time for NBC to realize that this is not really a cable news network anymore.(Emphasis mine, TD)

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell Proves the Elite Media Have Zero Standards 
. . . "Do you want to know what’s changed so much since 2004?"The media no longer give a damn. They don’t care about public trust. They don’t care about truth or standards or moral authority. It’s all just s**t-posting now, trolling, venting hate, spreading lies, creating tension, and hoping enough voters blame how exhausting it all is on the Bad Orange Man so the Bad Orange Man goes away." . . .
MSNBC and its host Lawrence O'Donnell humiliated, forced to retract charges against President Trump
Welllll, maybe he didn't actually retract the statement, as you can read for yourself. The insertion of "if true" makes pure gossip seem like responsible journalism. The Tunnel Dweller

Even The Washington Post Cannot Defend MSNBC Host Peddling Nonsense Trump-Russia Story
. . . "There’s a two-word phrase that will stick with MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell for some time, if not his entire career. He invoked it over and over on his Tuesday night program in reference to Donald Trump’s dealings with Deutsche Bank. “I may have some information in this next hour which would add a great deal to their understanding of that, if true . . ."

Lies, Bias, and Twisted Facts: MSNBC and Media Bias
"Over my decades as a writer, I’ve seen the two faces of the media."


. . . "The reporters have their knives out for ET because of its support for the President. If you go the MSNBC site, you’ll find it nearly impossible to find any positive reporting on President Trump. Studies have shown that 92 percent of the coverage given the president by broadcast news media is negative." . . .
