Former MSNBC Host: I Had to Get Permission From the President of the Network to Criticize Hillary Clinton

The NY Post:

A former MSNBC host claims she was told she needed to have the network president vet her commentary if it included any criticism of Hillary Clinton before she ran for president in 2016.
Krystal Ball, a former Democratic Party congressional candidate from Virginia, was a co-host of "The Cycle" from 2012 until 2015 for the left-leaning cable news channel owned by Comcast.
Ball, 41, recalled her MSNBC monolgue in 2014 when she urged then-Sen. Clinton (D-NY) to not seek the Democratic Party nomination for president.
"I did this whole thing that was like, 'She sold out to Wall Street. People are gonna hate this lady. She's like the terrible candidate for the moment. Please don't run,'" Ball said during an appearance last week on Joe Rogan's Spotify podcast "The Joe Rogan Experience."
"I was allowed to say it," she said, adding: "I deliver my thing. I did it exactly how I wanted to do it."
But apparently, Ball's advice to Clinton -- who would go on to lose to Donald Trump -- did not sit well with Phil Griffin, who was MSNBC's president at the time.
Former MSNBC pundit Krystal Ball said that she was told in 2014 that she needed then-network President Phil Griffin's permission to criticize Hillary Clinton.
Former MSNBC pundit Krystal Ball said she was told in 2014 that she needed then-network president Phil Griffin's permission to criticize Hillary Clinton.
"Afterwards, I get pulled into an office and you know [I was told], 'Great monologue, everything's fine. But next time you do any commentary on Hillary Clinton, it has to get approved by the president of the network,'" Ball said.
Ball told Rogan that while she did go on to make "further Hillary Clinton commentary, I would love to say that that didn't affect me and that I was there to be a truth teller."
"Listen, I'm a human being," she added. "I'm sure I responded to the incentives of that system, like, 'God, I don't want to get in trouble with the boss.'"

But her self-censorship to please the Real News Mr. President didn't work.

Note that this was "shortly before they let [her] go."

Once you've demonstrated you can't be trusted to be On The Team 100% of the time, the leftwing propaganda media fires you.

But they're Real News, right?

It isn't even hypocritical. The commissars like Griffin are on the side of the right and proper. When you control the media for the betterment of all and continuation of the system they find agreeable, it is good. If you question that controlled media, you're a wrecker and should be treated as such.

Correct but what we have is worse than state media. If the electorate changes the government state media is supposed to sway with it. No we have a one party media, and that is worse because when the other party has the ball 100% of the media goes to war with the "incorrect decision of the people."

Trust me, I do media theory for a living arguably.

Asked whether they agreed with the statement that national news organizations do not intend to mislead, 50 per cent said they disagreed. Only 25 per cent agreed, the study found.

Similarly, 52 per cent disagreed with a statement that disseminators of national news “care about the best interests of their readers, viewers and listeners,” the study found. It said 23 per cent of respondents believed the journalists were acting in the public’s best interests.

“That was pretty striking for us,” said Sarah Fioroni, a consultant for Gallup. The findings showed a depth of distrust and bad feeling that go beyond the foundations and processes of journalism, she said.

Differences Between Left Wing Media And Right Wing Media 101: This is for Marjorie Greene, Lauren Boebert, Ronny Jackson, Matt Gaetz, Paul Gosar, and others in Congress who are outraged by the fact that DirecTV canceled OAN and Newsmax.

Left wing media reports real news using things like "facts" and "logic". Left wing media reports news and facts without using outrage and fearmongering.

Right wing media reports the news through heavily manufactured and choreographed talking points, excessive fearmongering and fake outrage which is then filtered through what's called an "echo chamber". And it's called an "echo chamber" because there are literally thousands of shows and hundreds of networks out there that are all selling the exact same product.

People are tired of the hate and we want a massive change. This isn't 2016 anymore and your social media shit posting and trolling is so old that it can vote. No one wants to hear the hate and racism that you keep spewing. Turn down the fear mongering.

It's an overall system. The state is not the media is not the party per se, but they are in rigorous lock step. I often call it the State/Party/Media Complex, which I think fits fairly well.

A state media flows with the state. A Party media flows with the Party. When the state and the party and the media are all in cahoots, they all flow together. A state media being less bad than a Party media depends on the state and the party not being parts of the same whole. In this country, they are all parts of the same whole and so there is no freedom at all.

The only disagreement is the Soviet type where the state paper would sometimes disagree with the party paper, which showed where the conflicts are. We have the same thing. We have the Party/IC paper (the WaPo) and the State/LE paper (the NYT). When they disagree, you know where the conflicts are. In neither system can you get the truth.

Yeah, I think I see one of the reasons for that poll result right there in this person's title. A media who appoints itself protectors of "democracy" have taken a side -- at least in the 2020's (color revolution playbook) definition of "democracy" -- and are now openly propagandist.

Note that this was "shortly before they let [her] go."

Once you've demonstrated you can't be trusted to be On The Team 100% of the time, the leftwing propaganda media fires you.

More psychological control.

They make you renounce yourself, then they get rid of you. In this fashion, you not only suffer the indignity of being fired and forced out, but you also have to go live with the fact that you also betrayed yourself and everything you held dear. You are a whore who sold themselves and still didn't get paid.

One can more easily live with themselves if they stand up for what they believe is right and suffer the consequences. In fact, this often admirable. What the powers that be do to people is infinitely worse, they not only take your livelihood, they take your soul as a bonus.

Haven't watched him lately, except for the random clips posted on twitter, but his strength is his curiosity and 'gee whiz, really?' with guests which allows they to speak more vs. so many interviewers who as paragraph long questions with a yes/no answer. WHatever it is, it works for him.

But recall how he nailed Bari Weiss when she reflexively smeared someone as a "fascist" (IIRC), and he asked her to explain why and she was flummoxed. Lets them talk, but also forces them to back up talking points? Amazing a MMA dude was a harder interview for NTY's Weiss that MSM, isn't it?

Can anyone point to a "talented" newsreader? What would that entail? All they have to do is be attractive and read words out loud in a pleasant voice.

Even the ones that host debates don't need any skill. They ask a few canned questions, interrupt people who are making good points they don't like, and pretend to look concerned or whatever emotion applies.

Being a good interviewer or doing an opinion show requires talent, I'll happily admit.

278 Wildly off topic, but today I learned that SS Bismarck - a mega-sized passenger liner that was left unfinished when WWI broke out - was finished and then given as reparations to the White Star Line as restitution for the loss of the Britannic, which had been converted to a hospital shop when it sank due to a German sea mine. The Bismarck's sister ship was given to Cunard as restitution for the loss of the Lusitania.

When the Bismarck was finished, it was painted in the Hapsburg-American colors, they put the German name and location on the stern, and the cabins for British officers on the handover were being used as storage closets. On its way to sea trials, the British crew repainted the funnels in White Star colors and put the new name and location - Majestic and Liverpool - on the stern.

Interesting little side show from a forgotten chapter of the postwar settlement.

Portland devised the interesting legal principle that it would allow new fossil fuel facilities intended for local use, but would ban new fossil fuel facilities intended for export (like exporting Montana fuels).

Portland will now spend millions of dollars learning about the Commerce Clause.

Everything in these people's lives is about politics and power and revenge. I mean, Robert Vaughn was a lefty, a friend of the Kennedys, etc.; but he never talked about that or made policy announcements or anything else. David McCallum might have been as leftist, but I don't know to this day who he voted for in 1968 or at any point since. But modern actors, all you hear about is "Reparations, Trump, revenge, Trump, feminism, masks, vaccines, Trump."

Well, it's natural for guys to be as sexually active as possible. The problem is, a lot of people have confused natural with good. It's natural for a lion to rip the throat out of a baby zebra. That doesn't mean we should all stand around and cheer.

In the Book of Mormon, there is a verse that applies, "For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint."

Notice they never seem to attach the age to stories about our mummified political class.

"Dianne Feinstein - (D), Calif., 89 years old - whose husband has received billions of dollars worth of defense contracts during her stupendously long career of public service, wholeheartedly supports more aid for Ukraine."

You never see that. Weird. It almost makes it sound like a gerontocracy where everyone clings on for a fucking eternity so they can accrue more graft, or something.

*In Shaw’s eyes, the pinnacle of civilization had been reached by the Soviet Union. During his 1931 “pilgrimage” to Stalin’s wonderland, Shaw was given a glimpse of what he referred to as a “land of hope.” He denied that the regime had imprisoned significant numbers of political dissidents, describing the gulags as popular vacation destinations. “From what I gather, they can stay there as long they like,” he said.*

The common ones are way fast. It's all what you know. If I have to remember some key combination then yeah, it's slow. If it's one that's muscle memory, though, it's blazing fast. I have a lot of hotkeys in "muscle memory" territory. This is actually one aspect of the "Ribbon" in MS Office that was a productivity game-changer. Almost everything follows rules-based, hierarchical keyboard navigation and I don't even have to think about it.

But it does depend on you knowing them and not hunting for one you don't know unless it's an operation you'll repeat a lot that makes it worth committing the combination to muscle memory.

445 It wasn’t the surge in crime, rampant inflation, unchecked migration across the southern border or rising fuel prices that put Biden in trouble. Somehow even as those problems mounted during his presidency’s first two years and he was blamed for much of it, Democrats stuck together.

Instead, the administration’s first real questioning came over Document-gate, classified material that had been sitting in his offices and homes contrary to law for years. CBS News broke the story that classified documents were found in Penn Biden Center offices before the midterm elections — but was kept from the public.

What followed was the first real media frenzy Biden has had to face since he dropped out of the 1988 presidential race after plagiarizing his speech from a British politician. Biden has said in explanation basically nothing beyond the fact his Corvette was stored along with the documents later found at his house.

468 463 Shaw was also celibate for his whole adult life, I think I recall reading. He appreciated women, but never got involved with them. (Now and then I think the guy was wicked smart.)

469 Hmmm. Big guy in the Buffalo Shooter courtroom did *not* give a link worthy 'attempted assault' action.

471 I'd be curious if Joe Rogan spent some 3 hours chatting with her for THIS highlight. Like, no shit MSNBC is run by leftists for leftists.
