No one said that MSNBC did not have the right to fire Dowd, but any performative outrage and virtue signalling by MSNBC on air personalities over Jimmy Kimmel's firing certainly rings hollow.

He's got a legitimate beef about not getting much support. UTUSN Sep 2025 #9

Big difference though... SickOfTheOnePct Sep 2025 #10

True. But did they fire Dowd because of pressure from the Trump administration? nt SunSeeker Sep 2025 #14

I've heard nothing about any pressure from Trump... SickOfTheOnePct Sep 2025 #15

Like Nexstar and Disney, MSNBC has an approval request pending before the FCC. SunSeeker Sep 2025 #16

Pretty sure that the Versant deal is done SickOfTheOnePct Sep 2025 #17

No, Versant is not a done deal. NBC still lists Lazarus as Versant's "Prospective Chief Executive Officer." SunSeeker Sep 2025 #19

I read the WTOP article... SickOfTheOnePct Sep 2025 #20

It's not just a "comment." It's AP reporting. The WTOP article lists Associated Press as the source. SunSeeker Sep 2025 #22

It was a pre-emptive strike RVN VET71 Sep 2025 #23

The pressure is implied and the media are self-editing to avoid being singled out. RVN VET71 Sep 2025 #25
