The Ronna McDaniel Uproar Was Merely a Symptom, As an MSNBC Pundit Pushes Policing Late-Night Comedy

"First, understand that at MSNBC, it is a regular feature for the elitist pundits to declare to their unthinking audience all of the promised calamities Trump will deliver. He will assassinate his opponents. He will eliminate elections. He will end the Constitution and rule for life. He will arrest America's children and kill them."

"MSNBC continues to deal with the fallout from the collective emotional meltdown over the hiring of Ronna McDaniel. Just days after her announced addition to NBC News as a commentator, she was unceremoniously let go, the direct result of the cable news channel showing nearly all of its pundits coming forward with emotional commentary opposing McDaniel joining their ranks. It was ridiculously childish and embarrassingly hysterical.

"It was an all-day festival of wailing and pearl-clutching. The “Morning Joe” co-stars declared disapproval. Joy Reid arrived with her patented racial cant. Lawrence O’Donnell was confused, as he said he would not trust answers from Ronna, then announced a series of questions--after declaring she was not welcomed on the network. He then invited her on his show. (Larry, take a breath and get your thoughts straight, partner.)  

"Rachel Maddow spent half of her show railing over the decision, and Jen Psaki was oblivious to her recent resume while complaining that a political operative was hired. The best was Nicolle Wallace, who joined in with the therapy couch whining, and went so far as to describe the “sacred airwaves” of MSNBC. Seriously, she said this with a solemn expression. All of which was made even more hilariously asinine by one reality: MSNBC had already announced McDaniel was never going to appear on the network." . . .

. . ."He seriously wants to throw penalty flags on telling jokes, and is himself hilarious as a result. Then you see he is following the MSNBC mission statement of protecting Biden’s character -- and delivering the network’s trademarked conspiracy mindset in the process. Then he simply devolves into being merely sad and pathetic."
