16 May 2017, NEW YORK, NY - UPDATED - A predatory principally cable, internet, etc. corporation such as Comcast with no real interest in the integrity of news reporting has no constitutional legitimate business owning any much less a significant or even market dominant share of news outlets such as shown here by the need for an editorially independent MSNBC essential to the healthy and vigorous proposition and exchange of ideas and arguments in our weakening but to date still surviving relative to most somewhat robust constitutional democracy as documented in the Alternet article linked to below demonstrates why a removed corporate owner such as Comcast never will have a primary interest in news integrity despite dominant ownership of news outlets.
The news content Comcast provides is secondary to its corporate interests in service to an overriding priority of profits demonstrated here as now as it seeks to align with the newly GOP-controlled FCC set to end "net neutrality" to Comcast's bottom line benefit with no concern about the severe detriment to First Amendment rights and worldwide free speech it entails. This profit goal further is reinforced by its owned NBC News whose president Andy Lack reportedly is to blame for the hiring of a raft of former FOX news hosts whom MSNBC viewers would have watched on FOX had they wanted to hear from those who rightly have earned their less than welcome status tainted by long years of association with a worldwide despicable network here in the United States willfully promoting a regression to ruinous American ignorance directly in service to the dangerous "fact free" diversionary Republican narrative to benefit the rich by sowing misdirection and ineffectiveness among the underprivileged effectively depriving them of informed participation in American democracy with these compromised FOX hosts only now inexplicably to be hoisted on MSNBC viewers.
Mr. Lack's addition of fired FOX Greta van Susteren for her new MSNBC ratings dive show quickly proved an obvious error confirmed with Ms. Susteren yanked now fired for the second time in a year this time by MSNBC barely after Mr. Lack tried to foist her unwelcome new hour on fleeing MSNBC viewers. Her departure must be followed by Lack's immediate firing of Lack's masochistic addition of the sickening abomination known as Hugh Hewitt to the MSNBC lineup an outrageous affront guaranteed to drive off droves more MSNBC viewers rather than be subjected to his "insights" about what Hewitt calls the "winning Trump administration".
Mr. Hewitt proves he has nothing but less than worthless dumbfounding bad "insights" obviously so astoundingly dead wrong as to pose no danger of misinforming and misdirecting any MSNBC viewers but rather sure to waste their valuable time which could easily be spent elsewhere rather than their allowing Hewitt to enrage them with his mind-bending belief he is "making his case" regarding the "winning Trump administration" for example incredibly by holding out insider stock trading while legislatively manipulating its price profiteer former Congressional healthcare-denying despicable physician who shall "do harm first" HHS Secretary Tom Price and moronic earth environment enemy #1 apparently overjoyed to neglect his duties of stewardship to his home state by joining in the celebration of the fracking industry as he benignly oversaw it render his home state of Oklahoma an earthquake disaster nearly overnight while otherwise spending his state taxpayer-funded time filing non-stop idiot lawsuits attempting to halt the EPA's most important work meanwhile wasting its scarce resources trying to interfere with and hinder its mission to protect human health and the environment only stopping because he had to so as incredibly to become the new EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt positioned now to dismantle his "own" agency instead directly from within with the distinction of his espoused Neanderthal views and science denial condemned even by the Pope himself (for God's sake) both of whom Price and Pruitt are held out by Mr. Hewitt in an op-ed as the Trump administration "domestic policy stars" no kidding this "real news" is set out in the last Washington Post link below.
If this nightmare of a jerk Hewitt (for whose intellect eyeglasses apparently provide no more of a boost than glasses have for idiot Rick Perry named Trump Energy Department Secretary although he as of a few years ago had no idea what it does) is not gone real soon with other new former FOX additions close behind before they destroy MSNBC it best be Lack himself that exits NBC ASAP as he indeed for one at least does appear to be living up to his name. This FOX to MSNBC infestation is all the more sickening as NBC News President Andy Lack seeks favor with the Trump GOP changing editorial content to "buy access" from the corrupt Trump administration to what rightfully should be free equal access to government briefings and question opportunities as well as interviews and special rides on presidential planes and so forth for NBC journalists which access rightly should be equally available to all free unfettered established press rather than any favored news outlets without regard for their "toeing the Trump party lies" and certainly not require they compromise core principles for access rightly available to all.
At MSNBC's new source of hires FOX's chairman Roger Ailes was forced out in July 2016 for continuing allegations of sexual harassment against females. This April FOX News host Bill Reilly was forced to leave after many allegations of sexual harassment by female co-workers. Then in August longtime FOX News host Eric Holling was suspended after allegations he texted unsolicited photos of his genitalia to at least three female co-workers.
