MSNBC staffers are panicking over the direction of the left-leaning news network under newly-minted President Rashida Jones, fearing that she’s gearing up for a costly and potentially disastrous battle with CNN, The Post has learned.
Staffers say recent meetings with Jones and her boss, NBCUniversal news chief Cesar Conde, have focused on hard news — with the execs boasting of ratings wins over CNN on breaking stories...

CNN is ATT

CNN is ATT”

In the 90's the outplacement stream from the executive branch went to universities as regents and chancellors of those institutions. You know, to indoctrinate skulls of mush.

A battle to see which station can be the MOST HATEFUL AND UGLY! GO FOR IT!!

Says strategy to focus on hard news, but has Rachel Maddow and Nicole Wallace as a featured player.
In other media news, North Korea has decided to have more hard news to replace some of its commentary....
Some commentators were rumored to have raised objections, but they mysteriously disappeared and were unavailable for comment....
MSNBC reporting news? Can’t be done. Their credibility cannot be salvaged.
MSNBC = Marxist StaliNazi Bull$hitting Criminals.
Good looking ladies. It’s funny that “Rashida Jones” would be a duplicate name!
to further indoctrinate even more skulls of mush.
The staff at NBC is only worried about salary reductions due to lack of competition.
