NBC wants to be ‘the next Fox News,’ insiders say (LOL!)

Some fear Kelly may not be worth the bucks since her Fox replacement Tucker Carlson nearly doubled her ratings on Fox News after her departure.

We hear MSNBC anchor Joy Reid may also be on the chopping block.

“They haven’t renewed her contract. She’s been working without a contract for at least a month,” an insider told us.

An MSNBC spokesperson, however, insisted that Reid “is working under contract. And the network wants her to stay.”

A rep for NBC said, “The only thing Andy Lack is interested in ‘tilting toward’ is even more good journalism.”

--I believe that CNN has now gone left of MSNBC.

You believe correctly. CNN doesn't even try for informative balance. If there are two lefty sides on an issue, CNN will be sure to feature both of them.

NBC News could prosper by having MSNBC adopt a distinct programming philosophy that accommodated conservative views within a context of civil discussion and good will between Left and Right. They could also use the strength of NBC’s depth and vast operation to produce high quality news documentaries and specials on major issues. Will NBC do any of that? Hell no — no more than a donkey in danger can grow wings and fly off like an eagle.

——they question their style rather than their partisan message.——

They won the popular vote. They have a demographic of more than half of Presidential voters.

Yeaaaaahhhhh. Right.

Never happen.... NBC is far too invwested in the DNC and its incestuous Media and Politics Talking Heads to change any time soon.

Especially When ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ has been pulling down twice the viewership numbers Ms. Kelly had in her old FOX time slot!

I guess NBC News photoshopped the dead bodies out of this photo.

To practice good journalism, all that is needed is to respectfully report the other side… that will bring out the facts, and that’s what makes good journalism... not facts as I interpret them
Actually, what it takes is actually to try to be objective (Hint: a good-faith effort at objectivity begins with candor about any reasons you might not be objective. And for any journalist, those reasons will start with the fact that, for logical business reasons, all journalists prefer negative stories).

The first tipoff that a journalist is not even trying to be objective is when they claim, or insinuate, that they actually are objective. This will indicate not only that they are not objective about themselves, it will also demonstrate that they are cynical - since they know that they were taught in J-school that bad news sells. A claim of actual objectivity (not merely a claim that they are trying to be objective) coming from a journalist is therefore a claim that negativity is objectivity.

I put it to you that such a claim is a perfect definition of cynicism.

Be good if they took Chris Wallace also. He is really getting obnoxious. Kellyanne handled him well yesterday.

Sure that’s easy just fire every last one of the maggots you have working there now and hire every replacement from One America News. Any questions?

every story has to be the biggest news since sliced bread... and every event has to be earth shattering... the sensationalistic media is being hoist by their own petard, and it is a blast to witness it.

All they’d need to do is hire some of the folks from Breitbart.

So, pretend to be conservative a short while, then veer to the left at a steady clip?

Sorry its been done already.

It won’t work, unless they’ve managed to lure her makeup man away.

Forget the makeup man. Just about every woman on MSNBC should be on the Nutrisystem program.

During the Women's March, they weren't using a table during their broadcast. Joy's knees are the size of Hillary's thighs.

‘they don’t seem to have thinking skills.”

I disagree, I think they are very smart to do this. They see the trend, and it’s not towards leftism.
