JUST NBC THE CORRUPTION! MSNBC Says It Was ‘Unaware’ of Harris Campaign Contributions to Al Sharpton Nonprofit—But Won’t Say Whether It’s Taking Action.
MSNBC was “unaware” that Kamala Harris’s campaign paid Al Sharpton’s nonprofit $500,000 shortly before Harris sat for a softball interview with the cable host, a network spokesman told the Washington Free Beacon.
He wouldn’t say, though, whether the left-wing network is taking any action against Sharpton for a move that appears to violate network policy. Other network hosts like Joe Scarborough have been publicly reprimanded for their failure to disclose making, rather than receiving, political donations.
The Harris campaign made a $250,000 contribution to Sharpton’s National Action Network on Sept. 5 and another on Oct. 1, just weeks before Sharpton conducted a favorable interview with the Democratic nominee, the Free Beacon reported.
Sharpton did not inform MSNBC viewers of the contributions during the segment, nor did he inform network brass, a network spokesman said.
“MSNBC was unaware of the donations made to the National Action Network,” the spokesman said. He declined to say whether the network would take any action, indicating that it does not comment on “personnel matters.”
Comcast will offload Sharpton once they offload MSNBC in the coming year: MSNBC staffers ‘in a panic’ as NBC parent Comcast plans to spin off channel — and possibly change its name. In the meantime, they’ll keep paying his protection money: “Sharpton paid to keep quiet about lack of black TV programming: suit.”
