Personally, I believe that they are engaging - with management's support - in what the left calls "viewpoint" journalism. "Viewpoint journalism" is a modern marxist invention to make "Yellow Journalism" sound acceptable. It is a phoney-lib label for spinning the events of the day into propaganda that "proves" the validity of their position and "disproves" their opposition's viewpoints. It is political-agenda-driven spew.
Joe has to keep his job and make his handlers happy. Otherwise he's a greeter at Walmart. And you can't keep any NBC management happy without holding the company's "viewpoint" as the basis of your own comments. That would defeat the purpose of "viewpoint journalism."
I speak so confidently about this because I witnessed the beginnings of this kind of scam in "hollywood" in the late 80s and early 90s. It has now grown, like a tumor, to destroy the entire liberal/media complex in America. They are now dying.
Thank God.
Interesting......
Network journalism and Hollywood becoming slaves to their own orthodoxy no matter how out of touch with real America, with destructive effects upon both as viewers turn to alternate sources of news and entertainment.
Come to think of it, Dana Perrino has Mika Brzezinski skinned a mile in the blonde infobabe department, JMHO.
