NBC News to streamline process of telling you stuff that isn’t true while ignoring stuff that is

Font Size:

You may have heard that Microsoft finally washed its hands of MSNBC last week. Maybe now the “MS” part will be replaced with something more accurate, like “Maliciously Stupid.”

Now that Bill Gates has hit the lifeboats, thus begins the process of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Brian Stelter reports:

NBC News and the cable news channels MSNBC and CNBC are being brought under a new corporate umbrella, the NBCUniversal News Group, and a new boss, Patricia Fili-Krushel.

Ms. Fili-Krushel will become the chairman of the news group, the NBCUniversal chief executive Steve Burke said Thursday afternoon…

The NBC News president Steve Capus and the CNBC president Mark Hoffman will continue to run their respective divisions, but rather than reporting directly to Mr. Burke, they will now report to Ms. Fili-Krushel.

Mr. Burke said in an internal memorandum that he wanted to “enhance collaboration” between NBC’s news brands. NBC News, MSNBC and CNBC already work together on a daily basis, a fact that he acknowledged in the memo. “We are creating a structure that should help foster even more cooperation,” he wrote.

In other words, they want to make sure they get their story straight. Less than four months till the election, you know.

MSNBC.com has already been renamed NBCNews.com, and guess who’s running it? Vivian Schiller. Remember her? Remember what she said about Juan Williams after he was fired from NPR for saying stuff they disagreed with on a channel they don’t like?

A lot of people might say that about Juan Williams, but they aren’t his employer. Vivian Schiller was.

So that’s great news for NBC News employees. You don’t have to worry about your boss firing you and then maligning you in public, as long as you continue to toe the liberal-left line. Have fun, kids. And try to ignore that ice-cold water around your ankles!

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
