It sounds like NBCUniversal News Group needs a new chairman. The explanation and justification for such a terrible hiring ought to have serious, long lasting consequences. There are blunders and then there are those who exchange freedom of the press for greed and grift. This should not be soon forgotten.

Almost made it a whole Scaramucci.
I believe this is what's known as a micromooch.
I keep seeing this reference...

And yes, I'm too lazy to go to a meme generator, so I'm just leaving that
Damn, that sounds vaguely familiar, but ig Spicer overshadowed him in my memory
To be fair, Sean "among the bushes" Spicer lasted 18.3 mooches.
Ahh the Spicey one. I had a love/hate relationship with him. For anybody who wasn't glued to political feeds expecting Armageddon at any moment like me, this pretty accurately sums up Spicer's reign as White House Press Secretary.
That skit killed his job. Don't get me wrong, I'm okay with it. But Trump saw it and decided he couldn't even be near someone who had had fun poked at him lest he appear weak, so it was good-bye Spicey.
DAMMIT, I thought I was quick with this…
“I want to personally apologize to our team members who felt we let them down,” he said. “While this was a collective recommendation by some members of our leadership team, I approved it and take full responsibility for it.”
These statements always seem so facile when “taking responsibility” means no consequences apart from issuing an apology.
Saw no issue with it until public uproar... already shows the execs are completely detached from reality
"But number go up?"
I think it was their attempt on “fair and balanced”. It is just how to balance if you have a third of population believing that Trump won?
You can only have "both sides" to things that are based in reality, not bad faith. Hiring her to "balance" things was an impossibility, since she peddles in bad faith and conspiracy theories.
Rachel Maddow ranted for 29 minutes!!! I need to find that on YouTube.
"Ranted" is an exaggeration as she was exceedingly professional, yet passionate and surprisingly candid. I never really cared about her either way until I listened to her podcast Bag Man. It is incredible. And true! Now I realize she's completely awesome and have a whole new respect for her...
What was her actual job going to be? Was she just going to be a talking head that would give “the other side.” AKA, lies about election fraud and whatnot.
More like Ronald McDonald
These fucking ghouls should be tattooed with an ink that glows under black light. Humanity fails if they are ever able outrun the shame of what they've done.
Tattooing people to mark them? That's some Hitler shit.
