    But anything Trump at this point is sheer bullshit. I don’t blame those who criticize this stupid move. Trump is a traitor. He owes allegiance to no one. Why give it more legitimacy?

    It’s as if the Nasa TV network hired a “flat Earth expert.”

      Exactly. There are plenty of other great experts to hire instead of McDaniel who can provide good context and background. Goodbye NBC!

      That’s a great analogy.

      NBC executives - Carrie Budoff Brown, specifically - fucked up in a truly embarrassing way. They now decide whether to embrace the chaotic entropy they’ve chosen - to become utterly irrelevant and hated - or, to about-face, admit they fucked up, lose tens of millions in shit-for-brains contracts that should not have happened and hope to surface later as a somewhat reliable news source again.

      You’d think this would be an easy decision, but here we are.
