If you thought Comcast buying into NBC was going to change the overtly liberal bias at the network's news divisions, think again.
On Monday, MSNBC announced that Christopher Hayes, the Washington editor of the far-left magazine The Nation, will be getting his own show in September:
MSNBC contributor Chris Hayes has been added to the network’s weekend lineup as the host of a new weekend morning show. The program, with a focus on politics, will be live on Saturdays from 7:00 – 9:00 a.m. ET and Sundays from 8:00 – 10:00 a.m. ET starting September 17.
The announcement was made today by MSNBC President Phil Griffin. Hayes, a frequent substitute host for “The Rachel Maddow Show” and “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell,” will continue as an MSNBC contributor and will remain part of The Nation as Editor-at-Large.
“Chris is a thoughtful analyst and one of the smartest journalists out there,” said Griffin. “As we head into election season, there is no better time to amp up our weekend political coverage.”
For those unfamiliar with this disgraceful publication, in its television ad campaign, it proudly admits to possessing "that famous liberal media bias you can't find anywhere else":
*****Update: Hayes's wife works for Obama (h/t NB reader Thomas Charles Stewart III)...
Since the White House made it official today, I wanted to note as a matter of full disclosure that my wife Kate Shaw is now an attorney in the Office of the White House Counsel. Obviously, my views are entirely my own, and throughout a long campaign in which I had very dear family members involved with the Obama organization, I'd like to think I maintained a critical distance. I intend to do so in covering the administration.

Comcast is a monopoly. As long as the government allows this they’ll tow the liberal government line.
Hey, don’t worry. Nobody reads “The Nation” anymore, and nobody watches MSNBC.
I never heard of the chap.
Good luck, Mr. Hayes. You’ll need it.
Big News, NOT!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's one of those 'clean cut' marxists, who should proudly
wear the Hammer & Sickle on his lapel pin. A modern 'Trotskyite'
Would've fit nicely in this portrait...
Al Sharpton isn’t going to be too happy about this. /s

@ @derekahunter I never “accused” him; I said he wasn’t credible.

@ @LudovicSpeaks While I can’t control my own skin color (obvs) I pledge to have the most diverse show on cable news. You can hold me to that.

Just talked to a White House official who says the actual details of the deal are “significantly better” than what’s being reported #fwiw

@ @mattyglesias @jbarro Exactly. Only way to hold the line is to be comfortable w total expiration, which they will take off the table.

Deal on the table is all cuts, no revenue. This is a rout. (Only silver living:they didn’t permanently lock in any of the Bush tax cuts)

Imagine if our political establishment showed this level of zealousness in dealing with climate change.

@ @jamespoulos I don’t think of myself as having a team in that sense, but yes, it will be politically beneficial for the Pres and bad for R’s

At this point, you absolutely have to conclude that the house Republican caucus wants default.

A ratings agency downgrade will likely push up interest rates and thus strengthen the hand of the maniacs bringing this about.

Another white male added to the racist honky lineup at MSNBC.
Wow. That should really bring the viewer in. /s
Is he the dude that looks like a chick or the chick that looks like a dude? I can’t keep them straight.
Okay. He landed in the right lineup.
(shrug)
I'll never see him.
MSNBC...a network for Communist viewers...what a great country!
Zing!
Who are they going to get to replace Chrissy Matthews, when he finally gets around to checking into alcohol rehab?
