MSNBC getting 'too white Conservative'

Self-loathing white progressives and progressives of color are extremely angry with MSNBC's recent programming changes. In fact, they came up with a petition of 175,000 signatures threatening a "backlash" if the network doesn't do things their way.

The network has apparently shifted to hiring center right staff and a few diehard libtards are petitioning that the network go back to the progressive reporting that's in their safe zone.

The recent petition, hosted on Cretin Credo Action, urges network executives to "Stop the white conservative hiring spree at MSNBC." [Because they're afraid of hearing any opposing point of view].

The petition/warning goes like this: "NBC had troubling ties to Trump during the presidential campaign and gave the racist sexual predator a national platform. Now MSNBC, too, is tilting to the right. We need to let NBC executives know that there will be a sharp backlash if MSNBC becomes another platform for right-wing hate."

The petition's author expressed frustration with "progressive shows . . . skyrocketing" in ratings, conservatives, or those with a history on right-leaning networks such as Fox News,  George Will, Hugh Hewitt, and Greta Van Susteren. 

Obviously, the petition's author is intolerant of different points of view and believes that he can make million dollar business decisions for a network whose ratings had gone into the toilet until recently.

Last month, a protest was scheduled to march on NBC headquarters after reports that Lawrence "Comrade" O'Donnell's contract might not be extended. 

A petition posted on Change.org to save comrade O'Donnell's job received 16,000 signatures, about the same number of people that generally sit on the roof of an India train. 

In spite of the petition, the network announced earlier this month that O'Donnell will remain at MSNBC to spout his Communist tripe.

Other rumors about MSNBC president Phil Griffin (no relation to Kathy Airhead Griffin) claimed that he would be getting canned this month, but that information was as reliable as Hillary Clinton's testimony about her email server. Griffin signed a multi-year contract last month, possibly because he is the guy who built up the prime time lineup of the network.

This new petition, however, sets its sights on NBC President Andy Lack, who has supposedly behind the programming changes.

Tamron Hall
The petition reads: " . . . Lack has pushed out Black and Brown talent including Melissa Harris Perry, Alex Wagner, Touré Neblett, Dorian Warren, Michael Eric Dyson, Adam Howard, Jamil Smith, José Diaz-Balart and Tamron Hall. In fact, Lack has a history of replacing Black on-air personalities wherever he goes," the author alleges.

But perhaps the canning of Melissa Harris Perry was justified certainly, News Busters believes she was a loose cannon.

Alex Wagner left MSNBC to join The Atlantic as senior editor, not because she was fired.

Touré was fired because of what he tweeted about Holocaust survivors as noted in an article by Mediaite. MSNBC apparently doesn't suffer racists of any stripe.

Interestingly, Tamron Hall was not fired but left on her own even after she was asked to stay.

Michael Eric Dyson my have gone too far with the network after he compared police to ISIS.

An article by TV Newser reported that Diaz-Balart was a victim of upward mobility. He didn't get fired but left the network to join NBC Nightly News Saturday edition as part of a rotating cast of anchors.

So the "push out" by MSNBC wasn't really a push out at all. 

No company should be forced to retain a person who can injure their reputation. And if a person leaves to enhance their career, the company should be allowed to replace that individual with whom they believe best suits that position, and not base it on the melanin in their skin, or from where they or their family originates. 

Those who so carefully focus on racial issues, who are the racial "bean counters" in all facets of social life, are more likely to be racists than those they accuse of racism.

MSNBC may dump O'Donnell and Griffin

According to Heat Street the far left-leaning MSNBC may be getting rid of communist-leaning Lawrence O'Donnell and the President of the company Phil Griffin as their contracts are ending and they haven't been renewed.

The replacement? 

Brian "Even My Chin Leans Right" Williams--the guy who's been shot at, saw dead bodies floating down the street and the buddy of the big cheese, NBC News Chairman Andy Lack.

According to Heat Street, Lack may be looking to rehabilitate his buddy Williams and take credit for MSNBC's recent successes, which are at least partially due to the firing of Bill O'Reilly over at Fox News. 

O'Donnell, not a communist when it comes to his own salary, threw a tantrum on the air Wednesday tweeting á la Trump, "Contract expires June 4," and then said he will "let you know where you can watch me June 6 if it's not MSNBC. I'm sorry this situation has become public." 

If he's sorry, why then did he go public with it?

On Thursday, he confirmed to a fan that he tweeted that he wants to stay at MSNBC with "the best team mates [in this case, comrades] on TV."

If Lack rids the network of leftist O'Donnell, Heat Street says that it'll be the latest move by the elderly executive to "torpedo MSNBC's progressive hosts in favor of conservative or middle-of-the-road programming."

While O'Donnell may not be Lack's fav, many progressive snowflakes are expressing their support for O'Donnell on social media. They even used a petition calling for O'Donnell to keep his job while ridding the country of Trump's. The petition has garnered practically all of the viewership of the network--all 14,000 viewers signed.

Griffin, whose head may also be on the chopping block, has strong support from Rachel Maddow the annoying pseudo intellectual lesbian.

Conservatives ought to be crossing their fingers that Williams gets O'Donnell's slot. People see him as a phony and a self-promoting moron. But beyond that, liberals like that about him.

All we can do now is wait until June and hope for change.

Mental Harris-Perry's MSNBC Meltdown

They say depressed people see the world through a tunnel vision of sadness. Okay, maybe "they" in this case is me, but you get the point. If a person is sad, he or she tends to translate their experience in terms of that emotion.

So it makes sense that MSNBC people see the world through a tunnel vision of stupidity. And in one instance, it is seen through a tunnel vision of victimhood in concert with stupidity.

Enter Melissa Harris-Perry, hereafter referred to as MHP.

MHP emailed her staff and shared with the New York Times, that she is livid due to the pre-empting of her show for the last two weekends in favor of election coverage. Other MSNBC shows were also pre-empted, but she is black and the other people involved are not, therefore, the only way this can be logically interpreted by her (and fellow racists) is to label the MSNBC pre-empting as "racist."

People like MHP are so focused on what they see as their own victimhood because it would be too psychologically painful to see themselves as how they are. Thus, they tend to disown their unwanted or unacceptable thoughts or "parts of themselves" by attributing those thoughts onto someone else.

Psychiatrists and psychologists call this a defense mechanism, specifically that of projection.  Example: "He fired me because he hates white men." 

MHP wrote in her email to her staff: "I will not be used as a tool for their purposes. I am not a token, mammy, or little brown bobble head. I am not owned by [NBC News chairman Andrew] Lack, [MSNBC president Phil] Griffin, or MSNBC."

After she sent this email, she seemed to calm herself, or her Haldol kicked in. She then wrote: "I don't know if there is a personal racial component. I don't think anyone is doing something mean to me because I'm a black person."

But she cannot make any argument without adding a racial component--this seems to be a classic example of the use of projection, or it may be due to the possible rebranding plans for the failing cable network that caters to socialist wonks and communist and is losing huge parts of the market as its viewership shrinks like a body part in a cold swimming pool.

My guess, based on her historical hysterical behavior, is that she is mentally unbalanced, chronically angry at "the man," and believes she is the poor black victim. Recall how she attacked the Romney family for having the audacity of having an adopted grandchild. She later cried on air with an apology. 

MHP needs to go. There is already too much divisiveness with the Obama administration and white Americans--we don't need MHP pointing a blaming finger as well.
