The former RNC chief and Trump toady lasted less than a week at the network thanks to an open revolt by NBC and MSNBC on-air hosts.

    For those keeping score at home, that’s 0.36 Scaramuccis she lasted there.

          How much longer did the head of lettuce last after Truss? Unfortunately, I’m missing that data and can’t create the conversion formula without it.

        Imperial to Metric: 1 Mooch = 11 days * 4 = 44 days = 1 Truss

        Metric to Imperial: 1 Truss = 44 days * 0.25 = 11 days = 1 Mooch

        Everyone who deals with Trump has two choices.

        They either can become an anti-Trumper or fully insert their tongues into his asshole. If you don’t do the latter, Trump will identify you as the former – and send his brown shirts after you.

      Mother Fuckers want the Trump ratings and the crooked tax cuts. NBC has been trying to normalize Trump for years and years.

      What’s the difference between NBC and MSNBC? The news from MSNBC generally seems pretty reliable to me.

        It’s complicated because of megacorp structuring. In short they’re different divisions of the same mega network which is ultimately owned by Comcast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBCUniversal

        It’s also worth noting that my comment above isn’t really about the quality or journalistic integrity of reporting, but the leadership that decided to hire an individual like Ronna McDaniel in the first place.

            My wife and I had a Comcast monopoly in our area for many years. We can’t say the word Comcast without following it with phrase “Rat Bastards”. Their service was deplorable, expensive, and obligatory if you wanted Internet service in my area. The rat bastards abused that monopoly.

            Then a municipal co-op built fiber near my house, and I’ve never been happier switching service in my life. Faster connection, less money, friendly local service.

      They need a new Chairman. The weak sorry from Conde in a memo is not sufficient. For the head of a proper news organization, you need someone who has more respect for freedom of the press and doesn’t sacrifice principles for greed and grift.
