The plan to further bend the media dial in the direction of liberal political goals--
regarding a staffing move at NBC News and MSNBC.
OBAMA ALUMNI: “Stephanie Cutter has joined NBC News and MSNBC as a Political Analyst. She will contribute exclusively on a range of topics across all platforms including Meet the Press, TODAY, Nightly and MSNBC.”
Stephanie Cutter is a veteran of the Obama political machine and the fact that she’s no longer directly on the administration payroll hasn’t changed the tune she sings.
The NBC announcement came on the same day as another bit of breaking political news. The President himself dialed in to a conference call where he helped launch a new activist group which will fight for the confirmation of his latest Supreme Court nominee. It’s called the Constitutional Responsibility Project and you’ll see a familiar name there.
In a familiar follow-up, Stephanie Cutter, the president’s 2012 deputy campaign manager, came on the line after Mr. Obama to remind listeners to “press ‘1’ to sign up and get involved.”
Ms. Cutter, who also worked in the West Wing for Mr. Obama, will oversee the efforts by the new group, to be called the Constitutional Responsibility Project.
Yep. NBC News and MSNBC were going to have Stephanie Cutter on the payroll as an "independent political analyst" at the same time she was launching an initiative to flack for the President’s Supreme Court nomination.
Paying her to serve double duty in the fourth estate while directly running a fifth column effort on behalf of the DNC was apparently a bridge too far even for NBC News.
As Eric Wemple reports, the network ended the deal before the virtual ink was even dry on the agreement. But that does leave us with yet another pressing question.
Who will investigate all of the other paid spokesmodels on the various cable networks and see how many of them are similarly entwined in these direct conflicts of interest? Are there even enough hours in the day? And more to the point, will they even care?
Remember that Ed Schultz was literally on the payroll of the labor unions for years while simultaneously hosting a political news analysis show for MSNBC where he covered labor union stories extensively.
These incestuous relationships in the political media are likely too numerous to list all in one place, but at least this one was sniffed out before it took root.
Why keep investigating and accomplishing nothing? ARREST SOMEBODY AND PUT THEM ON TRIAL. I am so sick of the Trey Gowdys of the world who talk, talk, talk and investigate, investigate, investigate and do NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING.
Thanks to Lynch/Obama there have been no investigations and charges.
That may have to come after President Trump appoints a real AG instead of the muslim loving Lynch.
