We should thank everyone who objected to this horrific proposition of rewarding those that took part in destroying our democracy. They should all be turned into pariah's, in efforts of this never happening again. They can fight it out in their ecospheres. No life boat's over here unless you are truly fighting authoritarianism.

Now she can get her entire contract paid out at once AND go to Fox for much more money AND do nothing but complain for the rest of her life UNLESS Trump brings her back into the fold which don’t tell me it can’t happen they’re bringing back Manafort and Lewandowski ALTHOUGH “working” for Trump is really just doing nothing but complaining anyway. She’s won the conservative lottery.

Still, of course it’s the only choice. The only people I feel bad for are the 50 to 100 actual journalists NBC laid off in January. And it would have been fun to watch what NBC did when she actually is indicted someday.

But still.

This is our system: Pay the fascist to do nothing or pay the fascist to do something. So yeah, given that choice, I'll choose "nothing" for $300,000 Alex.

It's beyond gross she was hired in the first place. But with her ousting, the fact of the matter remains that she'll probably still be awarded the money her contract calls for and NBC will be paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to someone who worked against the legitimacy of our elections. This is a stain that'll take a long while to remove, and it makes the brass at NBC complicit in her BS.

So, aside from the "aiding fascism" thing, which I understand doesn't count as a black mark in our glorious free-market system, there's the "Pissing away $3000,000 of the shareholders money and getting nothing in return" thing which should mean something even to ruthless capitalists. Does ANYONE lose their job over this? LOL NO.

Well, more rank & file journalists will, because NBC has to make up that money SOMEWHERE, right?

Yes, you're right, of course. People who had nothing to do with this awful decision will lose their jobs.
