Comcast announced today they’ll be spinning off MSNBC - even the parent co. says good riddence. Not a chance in hell they’ll ever apologize. By all accounts, they appear to be soulless.
Apology is insufficient. They should ask for forgiveness. They CANNOT undo the harm done, but they can do what every one of us must do, regularly: Truth and reconciliation.
And until they do that, we should not credit them for anything good in this sense.
Because making nice with Trump is to their advantage, isn't it, not a move for the good of the country or to raise media standards.
Exactly. Apologies are nothing more than a slap on the wrist. We demand real accountability. They intentionally lied. Over and over and over. TV stations should lose their licenses and ALL involved should be fired.
They've already been fired by most people. Just look at the ratings and credibility of the corporate media. And the dumbest thing about this is that they brought this all on themselves. No one forced them to become advocates instead of journalists.
Well put Sasha as usual. If they had any honesty or integrity or decency or courage they would take your advice and do what you suggest but they won't. They are narcissistic opportunist and will never change. Their audience will shrink but they will just maneuver in a attempt to stay "relevant". That's why they visited Trump to serve themselves and only themselves.
FYI - Mika's dad was Zbigniew Brezhinski, Jimmy Carter's National Security Advisor, co-founded the Trilateral Commission, once said he thought the "soviets" were "faking" the implosion of the country to trick the west, and was a central figure in the deep state for literally decades.
Besides being pretty - she is - that's how Mika kick started her "journalism" career in DC.
Original thought in her head? Nah, not really - she's never needed one.
And who marries their co-host? Ick.
Suffice to say, Mika has been one of the more successful and popular securitate plants in the media for quite some time.
The compilations of things these two have said in the past about Trump are actually kind of shocking, even by the standards of today's Democrats. I had no idea they were actually supporters of his at one time! All their visit to FL has proven is that Trump is a much better person than these two sanctimoneous twits could ever be.
They don't mean it. They don't mean it's time to be diplomatic, blah blah blah. They want to save their necks.. Hoping someone of their character could possibly "reform" is impossible. They are two giant Oaklands -- there is "no there, there." They deserve shunning. Their pathetic, guilty, sociopathic behavior demands it. No second act for these two and all the others just like them. They must all be fired and an entirely new line up offered up, because who would believe one word coming out of their mouths?
I have already forgotten whether they were on MSNBC or CNN. I no longer watch either. Those stations really should get new talking heads because for me to come back, the old ones will have to be gone.
Hey, I love my Subaru! and I used to drive a Prius with a "Drill Baby Drill" bumper sticker. I am a conservative Republican who voted for Trump both times. I never wore a mask and got yelled at because of it. As for big glasses, they are the style (I don't like them) and my adult child wears them, but she is also very conservative. Just saying... it is risky judging a book by its cover. No offense taken though; it is funny.
Ya, I know a generalization--but where I used to live, it was pretty accurate... As for wearing a mask (back in those 'plandemic' days), the big virtue signal was wearing a mask, in your car, alone. But--you know where people very often pick up a virus? The home. So why don't they wear a mask at home? It's because nobody can see them..........
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow is tops on my list of so-called journalists poisoning people with fear and hate. I have friends who are waiting for the sky to fall thinking I’m the one totally messed up because I don’t see Trump as a fascist… and watched all 3 hours of the Joe Rogan interview.
"It took the near-total collapse of mainstream media ..."
Given Trump's decisive win I propose we no longer do them the favor of calling them the 'mainstream' media. I propose we rename them 'Regime media'. The alternative to Regime media is independent media. Independent media delivered Trump his win and thus deserves the title of mainstream, but the moniker is tainted. Regime media is characterized by an ideology that aims to centralize political, economic, and military power in the US Federal government and in international institutions like the United Nations, World Health Organization, etc.
Joe and Miki may lighten up with the Trump is Hitler routine, but there is no chance that they will lighten up on their cheerleading for the Regime. Politically the Regime, is the Democrats, the Uniparty, the Neocons, and the RINOs. They are pro war, pro deficits, pro censorship, and pro government-dependency.
Now when RFK cancels pharma ad spending the network news will implode. Poof, gone.
Love the signoff, ’Sincerely, America’. Has a nice ring to it. You could write a lot of these letters.
Not just pharma but Big Food

...And soon jobless.
There's nothing the MSM can do to earn back our trust. We stopped watching years ago when their Trump smear campaigns began.
Then all of their Covid LIES. We will NEVER FORGET.
They're OUT FOR GOOD and we're better off WITHOUT them. 👏🏻👋👋👋👋👏🏻

Fire them. And all the others. Only solution.

They're being paid to lie.
For them, it's tow the rope or be OUSTED.
Just ask Sasha.
I would guess nibbling up the food chain would expose the major culprits -- those who set the agenda on the morning staff calls.

Just because you think she’s pretty doesn’t make it so. Sorry
She is an ugly human being.
Personally I think that she's his handler & he's the dumber one of the pair

With a little luck, their show will be cancelled. No viewers means no advertising dollars from sponsors. Good by!

Great comment. Yes, they're like rats on a sinking ship and they're hoping they can spare themselves by playing their Trump connection.
Their heads are too far UP THEIR BACKSIDES to apologize.
Great comment except for the dig at Oakland. There’s plenty of there, there!
I lived there years ago. The first step toward keeping the "there" was getting rid of that jackass mayor.
Bravo!
I hope your mother reads this post and that both of you have a wonderful thanks giving dinner together.
Hear, hear!

Great piece, Sasha. I won't be holding my breath, though.
They just won't stop, from today's Daily Mail. And why do all these women look like this: https://tinyurl.com/nmtnbpy8
The big, dorky oversized glasses are a virtue signal. I bet she even drives a Subaru...

It’s the least they can do but it won’t happen. Amr Australia.

I now refer to them as the ‘Old Media’
With the old media's roots in Operation Mockingbird, Regime media names their ideology.
Leftist media apologize?
Don’t hold your breath.
Sincere apology requires honor, and integrity.
