The Morning Briefing: MSNBC Might End Up Getting a Corporate Exorcism

PJ Media  

"Throughout the entirety of Joe Biden's sham presidency, the most vindictive and hateful people on the American Left were allowed to spread their poison free from worry about any consequences. Well, the adults are back in charge in Washington, and the psycho progressive bullies aren't being tolerated. "


. . . "Throughout the entirety of Joe Biden's sham presidency, the most vindictive and hateful people on the American Left were allowed to spread their poison free from worry about any consequences. Well, the adults are back in charge in Washington, and the psycho progressive bullies aren't being tolerated. 

"Like I wrote last week, the Dems keep finding new lows to hit, and we certainly saw a lot of awfulness in response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. While I won't give too much exposure to the vileness, I am happy to report that consequences are making a comeback. Catherine has a story about that here, and my friend Ward Clark has another over at RedState.

"MSNBC — the cable broadcast home of hate — is undergoing a corporate culture shift and rebranding, and it looks like the new bosses aren't thrilled with the Trump Derangement Syndrome vibe there. Matthew Dowd was fired for the heartless, callous remarks he made on Wednesday before breakfast time on Thursday. Until recently, that kind of thing would have gotten someone a raise at MSNBC." . . .

. . . "MSNBC has been able to exist as the ratings-challenged cable propaganda mill for so long because it's pretty much been a charity project of the massive corporation behind it. It could hide behind the NBC News division. That security blanket is going away. The fact that the network doesn't have anybody watching it is going to be more glaring now. 

"To use one of the Dems' favorite words, the business model at MSNBC isn't really sustainable. There have been no major announcements yet, but the New World Order at Versant will almost certainly not be patient with MSNBC's niche hate-monger status. At some point, it's going to have to become a functional part of a for-profit company.

"As Rick goes on to note in his post, "fostering civil dialogue" is a foreign concept to MSNBC hosts. If the higher-ups are serious about doing better, there's going to have to be a housecleaning at the network. I don't know if that is going to happen, but a guy can dream, right?" . . .
