Lurid sex allegations against MSNBC’s president will teach liberal audience nothing

American Thinker:

Predictably, the latest “me-too” revelation features objectionable behavior by another leftist/establishment media figure.  Ronan Farrow’s new book, Catch and Kill, alleges that MSNBC president Phil Griffin displayed a photo of Maria Menounos’s naked crotch during a staff meeting.  Griffin is also accused of using lewd language in work emails and forcing female producers to join him at a peep show in Times Square.

To say MSNBC has been a vocal critic of Donald Trump would be a tremendous understatement.  The attacks on Trump from that network go so far beyond ordinary political commentary that the president and his allies barely bother responding, preferring to spar with CNN instead.  In all controversies involving Trump, Brett Kavanaugh, or any aspect of the current administration, MSNBC has been the most vehement of all media outlets.  MSNBC has been as responsible as any single network for the refusal of Hillary supporters to move beyond the election of 2016.  MSNBC has been more outspoken than most networks in favor of the “Believe All Women” slogan.  The female voters affected by the so-called “gender gap” certainly have a home at MSNBC.  For every intellectual atrocity that the Left has committed, MSNBC has been an instigator and provocateur.

As president of MSNBC since 2008, Phil Griffin has had more to say about MSNBC’s policies and agendas than any other single individual.

Is it significant that yet another major media figure has been caught engaging in sexual harassment and boorish behavior?  Yes, but not nearly as significant as what these revelations tell us about the MSNBC viewer base.  Those who parade in outfits meant to emulate female sexual organs are unlikely to question the source of their ideology, despite these revelations. That their activism has been fueled partly by the steady parade of Griffin’s MSNBC propaganda will not dampen their enthusiasm.  That their understanding of national politics came to them pre-filtered through the regime of a boorish misogynist will make no difference.  That they have been pawns of a man who forces subordinates into unwanted sexual situations will not cause a moment’s reflection or re-examination.   read more

  1. May I remind everyone again that these vile networks would not be on the air were it not for “cable bundling.” When actual choice comes to cable programming, the cash flow to these wicked people will be quickly cut off and they will have to rely on Soros to pay the bills.
