ANALYSIS: TRUE. Yes, there is collusion – between NBC, MSNBC and Dems.
New York Magazine and HuffPost contributor Yashar Ali is accusing Dafna Linzer, the managing editor for political coverage for NBC News and MSNBC, of trying to “bully” him to help Democrats. While Ali leans and works left, he has a good reputation for being an honest broker – even among conservatives. His complaints lit up Twitter Friday.
Ali devoted a 25-tweet thread to criticizing the actions Linzer. Ali said Linzer called to “bully” him “on behalf of the DNC” (the Democratic National Committee). He slammed her actions as “highly inappropriate and unethical.”
As T. Beckett Adams of the Washington Examiner asked yesterday on Twitter, “If MSNBC’s news chief is willing to go to bat like this on behalf of the Democratic National Committee for something that really doesn’t matter, I wonder what she does for the things that are of actual political consequence?”
And will any of the network talking heads discuss this story tomorrow?
