I don’t want to hear it! You’re wrong, and I want no part of spreading false information. You don’t deserve a platform to advance lies. We gave you a fat contract to contribute to show us your point of view, but our elite talent showed us the error of our ways. Now get out of here and take your misinformation with you. If not the words used by NBC to dump recently hired former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Rona McDaniel, it was probably something along these lines. 

What was McDaniel’s sin? She initially supported Trump’s claim that an unfair election deprived him of victory, even though she has since acknowledged that he did lose. NBC’s MSNBC division Major on-air talent joined with others at the Network to proclaim that allowing election deniers and those interfering with elections to have a voice on the Network and its affiliates is verboten.

Of course, this must be news to Stacy Abrams, who refused to concede in her 2018 race for Georgia Governor, claiming “voter suppression” in her many NBC and MSNBC appearances. MSNBC star Rachel Maddowrepeatedly claimed Trump’s collusion with Russia made him an illegitimate president. Jan Psaki peddled the false from former intelligence people the Hunter Biden Laptop was Russian disinformation. None of this is true. NBC and MSNBC seem to have a strange relationship with the truth. Republicans must always tell it, but Democrats or NBC and affiliate employees get a pass. 

Confusing the issue further is many of the things people believe are, in fact, not necessarily so. How often have we heard that income inequality is growing? China caused massive job losses in our manufacturing sector. The rich don’t pay their fair share. Unless we take drastic action, global warming will cause enormous economic loss by the end of the century. Exporters such as those in China pay the tariffs we impose. As I’ve pointed out, though widely believed, these aren’t true.
