Both CNN and ABC News have ended their contracts with Donna Brazile now that she plans to take over as interim chair of the Democratic National Committee when Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz steps down from the role after the convention, Politico reported Sunday.
and yet…
There is a major difference between ending a contract and suspending a contract.
So now CNN gets all ethically aware? Please.
Agreed. And add to that, he is not clever nor interesting. I am thinking they see the problems with Fox News and see a window to pick up the conservative mantel. No other reason to hire someone like Corey.
Can’t imagine what might color their opinion.
They had Patrick Buchanan for decades. They allowed him to keep in the public eye and to have a full time platform for his run for the GOP nomination every four years, even though he was too far right for the Reagan and post Reagan era GOP. This is not new or recent. They have always bent over backwards for the conservative viewers who spurn them for FOX anyway.
I like this woman. She loves Hillary though and is very proud of Hillary and all that she stands for. Her thinking is measured and her critiques seem fair. But will Sanders people be really happy? She is going to have to be really transparent with what’s been going on. Going to be a hard job.
Brazile was a contributor for both networks while serving as the DNC’s vice chair for civic engagement and voter participation.
I’m guessing - no. I mean, is it really okay to have the vice-chair of a party a paid contributor, but not the chair? I hadn’t realized she was in this position already. Seems more like an optics thing now that she’s in a more prominent role.
I concede your point…but in fairness to CNN, they have asked Putin to suspend his appearances on their network until after the election.
he does look like Putin junior…
A war time consigliere.
Sanders people won’t be happy unless Hillary is drawn and quartered on the stage at the convention, after which Bernie would hold up her severed head and declare himself the candidate.
