Lawrence O’Donnell just moved to the front of the line of the next MsNBC cable news hosts who will be fired for being “too liberal” last night when he essentially accused NBC executives of enabling Donald Trump’s racist gambit to garner as much attention for himself as possible.
Here, go watch the video at Mediate.
Here’s the transcript from MsNBC of O’Donnell calling out NBC executives. Excerpts below (spelling not corrected as I have medical appointment to get to and am already running late):
NBC has created a monster. And it is called Donald Trump. […]
There are executives at nbc, both here in new york and in burbank, who shall for this hour anyway remain nameless who know whether donald trump is already committed to appearing on his fake reality show next season.
If donald trump has committed to do that, he is obviously not running for president. And all of this, every bit of it, is as fake as donald’s fake reality show where he pretends to fire some very sad people.
Those nbc executives should not be allowed to survive another day of involuntary entanglement in the trump hatred campaign without being asked everything they know about donald trump’s professional commitments and performance obligations to nbc.That now is important news. Nbc will announce its full schedule for the coming season IN NEW YORK ON MONDAY, MAY 16th, But they don’t have to wait UNTIL MONDAY, MAY 16th, TO TELL Us what is going to happen to donald trump’s fake reality show, and donald trump’s personal employment with nbc. […][
Nbc has created a monster who is using his nbc fame to spew hatred, wreaking with racist overtones and undertones about the president of the united states.
Nbc can no longer stand idly by, not for one more day.
Good luck Lawrence. I suspect Keith Olbermann is holding a job open for you.
