The company MSNBC hired issued a 'correction' after promising attendees would receive $100

--------

MSNBC was apparently seeking out paid attendees ahead of its "Vaccinating America" town hall special featuring White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Politico reported in its "Playbook" newsletter on Wednesday that the liberal network hired a survey and focus group company MediaBarn to find attendees for a televised event in Alexandria, Va. emceed by "Last Word" host Lawrence O'Donnell.

"Dr. Fauci will be at the event, as well as opportunities for audience members to ask questions pertaining to the vaccine," the online invitation read.

However, Politico spotted that attendees would receive $100, something the newsletter called a "journalistic no-no."

According to Politico, after it asked MSNBC about the paid invitation, MediaBarn updated its page with a "correction."

"We incorrectly sent out communication that audience members attending MSNBC’s town hall tomorrow will be offered a $100 digital honoraria," MediaBarn's "correction" read. "To clarify, ticketed attendees will not be paid by either Mediabarn Research or MSNBC for attending tomorrow’s MSNBC town hall event. We regret this error."

It still doesn’t say they won’t be paid......it only says that ticketed attendees will not be paid by either Mediabarn Research or MSNBC for attending tomorrow’s MSNBC town hall with Dr. Fauci. Anyone else could certainly pay them.

For centuries, the slimy worm with a rat’s face was thought to be mythical.

Yet, Fauci is living proof the species actually exists.

So, in that great American Leftist tradition, they made a promise, then welched on it.

Skewered for Lucifer

Vaxxholes

Satan’s Children

The Walking Dead

Poison Pill Pushers

These folks have many applicable names.

It’s best to have no contact with them, and avoid their “vaccines.”

This little propagandist is a pure menace to our entire society. A sensible, just society would have put him in prison by now, or at the very least locked him away in some isolation area to ensure he can never show his face on television again. Instead, he will no doubt make several appearances on the Sunday network TV propaganda shows today, in which he will continue to spread his false, constantly-conflicting propaganda and not be able to explain why he has been wrong about literally everything about this virus for 15 solid months now.

I really think they are staring to run out of people who want the vax. IN my area, they now have all the “super vax” site ans walk ins. Even with that they still have no waits and the place ins empty most of the time.

Where are the guys who write 6 paragraph dissertations on how masks work?

Even Newsom said today that next month we’re not wearing face coverings. We’re not restricted in any way, shape or form from doing the old things that we used to do.

Because most people have enough common sense to see just how dangerous the “vaccine” is, just as they see how malicious and evil its pushers truly are.

When asked for a statement, O’Donnell said, “Liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar.” (If it is 16, it is an exact quote.)
