Mainstream Media Exec Makes Announcement, Wants to Hire Republicans for News Shows
Mainstream Media Exec Makes Announcement, Wants to Hire Republicans for News Shows

For years, the mainstream media has insisted they don’t have a liberal bias. They’ve lectured Americans about their “objective journalism” while pushing increasingly progressive narratives down viewers’ throats.

And how has that worked out for them? Trust in the media is in the gutter. And viewers are tuning off what has become, basically, Democrat propaganda.

We have to wonder when these networks will wake up and smell the coffee. Recent Nielsen data shows liberal-leaning networks’ viewership declining by double digits in key demographics. Meanwhile, conservative-leaning outlets enjoy growing success.

Perhaps there is something to that? One executive seems to be seeing the light.

From The Post Millennial:
Lazarus has reportedly told people that he wants to change the public’s perception of MSNBC that Republicans are treated unfairly on the network. He has reportedly indicated that he doesn’t want content from hosts and commentators that may unnecessarily spawn bad press and alienate GOP viewers.

A New Beginning for MSNBC?

In a stunning development, MSNBC’s new chief Mark Lazarus has been quietly floating plans to incorporate more conservative voices into the network’s programming.

According to inside sources at Status News, Lazarus has spent the past month suggesting that the notoriously left-leaning network needs to address its reputation for treating Republicans unfairly.

This dramatic shift comes as MSNBC grapples with declining viewership and parent company Comcast’s recent decision to spin off multiple channels into a separate company called SpinCo.

It’s a far cry from the network’s glory days of smugly dismissing conservative perspectives while preaching to their progressive choir.

“Lazarus has indicated that he doesn’t want content from hosts and commentators that may unnecessarily spawn bad press and alienate GOP viewers,” sources revealed.

The network’s sudden concern for conservative viewpoints comes after years of openly hostile coverage toward traditional values and Republican policies.

A New “Fair and Balanced” Network…

But conservatives shouldn’t break out the champagne just yet. The network appears to be trying to have it both ways – maintaining its progressive prime-time lineup while sprinkling in token conservative voices during daytime hours.

Rachel Maddow and other liberal stalwarts will reportedly continue their usual programming unchanged, suggesting this may be more about optics than genuine change.

The real question is whether any respected conservative voices would even consider joining a network that has spent years mocking their values and beliefs.

As industry analysts note, getting voices from the MAGA movement onto MSNBC could prove particularly challenging, given that “old-school conservatives who appear on MSNBC and are honest about calling out Trump’s lies” are routinely “dismissed as part of the #Resistance.”

Change is in the Wind

Adding another layer of instability to this desperate rebrand attempt, MSNBC president Rashida Jones is reportedly considering departing after Trump’s upcoming inauguration.

Nothing says “stable workplace environment” quite like your network president planning an escape route.

For conservative Americans who’ve long been dismissed and denigrated by mainstream media outlets, this development represents more than just another business decision – it’s a vindication of what they’ve been saying for years.

The liberal media bubble is finally bursting, forced to confront the reality that constantly insulting half your potential audience isn’t a sustainable business strategy.

Will adding a few conservative voices to MSNBC’s daytime lineup suddenly transform it into a balanced news source?

History suggests otherwise. But this desperate attempt at course correction speaks volumes about the failing state of liberal media dominance in America.

The Same Old Song

As the network scrambles to reinvent itself, conservative viewers would do well to remember the years of biased coverage and hostile treatment they’ve endured.

Sometimes, an apology – even when dressed up as a programming change – comes too little, too late.

This latest development serves as a reminder that the free market eventually corrects for bias, even if the mainstream media takes years to get the message.

For conservative Americans, the best response might be to simply change the channel and let MSNBC figure out its identity crisis on its own.

Key Takeaways:

  • Media executive considering adding GOP hosts to MSNBC shows.
  • MSNBC leadership are scrambling to salvage viewership while trying to maintain progressive identity.
  • Network president considering exit as Trump’s return to the White House looms
  • Conservative vindication as free market forces liberal media to face reality
