NBC News Signs Former Obama Press Secretary To Provide "Unbiased" Political Commentary
Zero Hedge ^ | 3-27-2017 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 03/27/2017 2:46:40 PM PDT by blam

On its 'Today Show' earlier this morning, NBC revealed that it has signed former Obama White House press secretary Josh Earnest as a political analyst. Earnest is expected to provide political commentary on NBC and MSNBC.

And, in an hilarious welcoming statement, the Today Show's Savannah Guthrie warned Earnest that he would now have to disavow himself of his political bias to provide impartial political analysis...just before inviting him to take shots at Republicans.

"White House Press Secretary under President Obama we're pleased to announce is joining us a political analyst."

"Now you have to wear your analyst hat, not your Democrats hat."

"And looking at what happened, what transpired over the last few weeks on healthcare, who is to blame?"

Earnest also made an appearance this morning on the cable news network known for its militant dedication to impartiality, MSNBC.

Meanwhile, The Hill notes that Earnest is just one of many Obama press secretaries to accept handsome salaries providing "impartial" political analysis at NBC and CNN over the years.

He’ll be just as believable as he was as press secretary.

As Mr. Limbaugh was reiterating today, liberals see themselves as unbiased, because to them their world-view is the only reasonable world-view, so to accept their world-view is to be reasonable, and to accept any other world-view is to be unreasonably biased.

This is nothing new.

George Streptococcus at ABC was a long time high level Clinton operative.

He'll be wearing his usual hat. Starts with "A" and ends with "ss."

Very true.

As part of the Fake News MSM, lying, which comes so naturally for him and all Obama spokesmodels, will continue to boost his resume and his street cred with idiots.

NBC News Signs Former Obama Press Secretary To Provide "Unbiased" Political Commentary

ABC has Little Goergie ("Stephie") Stephanopoulos, so NBC had to run get Joshie Earnest. Both paid apologists for the crookedest politicians ever to slither into American Politics.
