Believe it or not, there are people on far-left MSNBC who pretend to have journalistic qualms about the Al Sharpton payola scandal.
In September, the Kamala Harris campaign sent $250,000 to a nonprofit run by MSNBC contributor and pseudo-civil rights activist Al Sharpton. Donations doubled in October. In total, Sharpton received $500,000 from the Harris campaign…and…and…
On October 20, Sharpton used the powerful MSNBC network resources to conduct a flattering interview with Kamala Harris.
A spokesperson for the network said, “MSNBC was not aware of any donations to the National Action Network.'' washington free beaconthe outlet that first reported the scandal 2 weeks ago.
The phrase “two weeks ago” is important because two weeks after this story broke, nothing has changed. The station did not disclose “donations” to its crumbling audience. Mr. Sharpton continued his usual appearance without mentioning the “donation”.
Hey, the Democrats sure did a good job.
However, Fox News Digital discovered that some MSNBC staffers were pretending to have journalistic standards. Anonymous (and rightfully so) they are furious….
“Nobody would be surprised if someone at MSNBC was rooting for Harris. This feels like another level of nonsense… There's a bit of a dirty vibe to this,” said a current MSNBC staffer. told Fox. “Those things happen, but they don't happen as often on MSNBC. Like, people just don't care. I would say there's a deeper disappointment…this is kind of tragic and disgusting.” is.”
“Some of the people I've talked to, there's a feeling that there's something wrong with this and that something has to be done. It just doesn't resonate with people.”
“That kind of money shouldn't be going to people who cosplay as journalists. I don't know, so maybe that's not a fair word, but is he a journalist?” the employee said. continued. “I don't know. But it's like paying to play and it doesn't feel right in an organization that we're all still a part of.”
I think this is unreasonable. MSNBC is a huge pay-to-play network. That's it. Every second on MSNBC (and CNN) is a transaction. Anchors and contributors tell outrageous lies and spread fear porn so that MSNBC overpays them. When MSNBC staffers aren't spreading misinformation or dehumanizing rights, they're giving away what they have to say to enjoy everything from cocktail parties to government leaks to all kinds of passive income. Saying.
It is payola to label oneself as a news organization and refuse to do, say, or report anything that diminishes one's status. If you call yourself a news organization and actively participate in it…
…Well, that makes you trash.
Even after doing all of the above, MSNBC (or CNN or Washington Post, New York TimesCBS, NBC, AMC, PBS, NPR), you don't want to hear how something ultimately “crossed the line.” There is no line. Perhaps you are angry only because the false pastor did not cut you off.
