Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean accused NBC anchor Lester Holt of censoring a friend of hers in order to protect the reputation of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
“So @NBCNews @LesterHoltNBC @TODAYshow censored one of my friends who lost a loved one in a nursing home,” Dean, who lost both of her in-laws to the spread of coronavirus in New York nursing homes, tweeted Saturday. “She wanted to say ‘@andrewcuomo failed us’ in the interview and they told her to say ‘New York failed us’ instead. The mainstream is STILL protecting this guy. Disgusting.”
In a follow-up tweet, Dean referred to Holt as a “disgrace.”
“Shame on you @LesterHoltNBC @NBCNews @TODAYshow,” Dean added. “New York State did not fail us. The governor, his administration and his health department FAILED US. You are a disgrace to all families. Just like @andrewcuomo.”

NBC was disgraceful before CNN made it cool to be disgraceful

being out of the media loop for years bc I just didn't watch any news, I learned how crappy NBC was at trumps "town hall". the one that he got berated for the first 20 minutes and they planted a black female (nodding woman) in the background. haha she exposed them bigly

Meanwhile, back in Republicanville and it's sister state of Trumptown, there's no rhyme or reason to the endless splintering of unions, backbiting, and continued thwarting of Trump, despite the idiotic nature of those actions given the continued popularity of Trump amongst Republican voters.
Even within the city limits of Trumptown we find exhausting splintering and the curious insistence on coming up with ways to criticize Trump, seemingly for the purpose of joining the "I'm willing to beat up on Trump even though I voted for him" club.
Whew. That was turrible. I had to get it out of my system.

This is nuts. Supposedly this is a live interview but NBC really wanted the whole thing scripted, down to the guest's individual responses? If this is even remotely true, which I have no reason to doubt it is, the news isn't even the news anymore. It's basically scripted professional wrestling.

Yeah this is pretty much all true and worse.

I can't help but think that this type situation did get to Trump toward the end there. Criticism from every damn direction, and not the type that is worthy of peoples' "principled stand". Mostly just virtue signaling to prove some misguided point that the person's "enlightened" enough to oppose Trump.
Sometimes you just gotta go blind all in. Stand by your man. Because the other side's damn sure doing it, across the board.

The shite flinging from the Dems and media didn't bother him. In fact i think he loved it. But i think having the people he helped get into office shite on him probably bothered him. But i also think he isn't out of the fight and he's probably going to get some revenge on the Rep. who turned on him.

Yep, agreed on all. Business as usual with slapping away typical MSM and Democrat bs, but the backturning by so many Republicans, that probably became mighty tiresome. And to the extent that he stays connected with the trends within his "base".....I hate to say an unusual amount of so-called loyal supporters had been, have been and still are putting more effort into finding reasons to criticize him rather than, as we say of the Dems, circle the wagons. That's supposed to be the go to move in the heat of the battle. Which we're in it and have been for some time. But deserters have outed themselves.

Those frickin scumbag democrats will fight and stick together knowing that they’re lying directly in the American people’s faces.

Pretty sure Dean lost both of her parents to COVID in a nursing home in NY.

But Cuomo is a hero. He wrote a how-to book on how to beat covid in the middle of the pandemic and won awards for it. He's bona-fide.

Professional wrestling is less scripted.
There is a chance things go wrong there and they have to improvise simply because it is live and people get hurt, make mistakes, etc. The media manipulates everything to ensure it matches their end goal.

MSM is tabloid journalism.
Whatever tickles the ears and satiate the eyes...
