Why else worry about offending him?

As if that's gonna happen.

are counting on it.

Like any legacy news organization. Misery and suffering sells more news that happiness and prosperity. (I mean watch the breathless coverage of the Hurricanes. They all sound down right giddy at the prospect of death and destruction)
MSNBC and the rest of them would be happier than any Republican if he won.

This is really pissing me off. The public has a right to know and they are not doing their job as journalists.

How gutless of MSNBC.

Part of ABCNNBCBSFUXNoiseNutworks, Corporate McPravda’s allegiance is to the almighty dollar. They laugh at the First Amendment.

They are now so blatant, it is a daily insult.
How do I know, I listen to you guys here on DU and elsewhere.
I tuned out 20 years ago. I will not support their survival.

The thing would be supported by taxpayers and be autonomous from Uncle Sam.

It's only job: to do what the Founders understood a democratic republic needs to survive: A Free Press. The "press" is the only business mentioned by named in the entire Constitution of the United States.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances

Perhaps We could create something like the BBC. Publicly funded, it just operates to get the facts out in front of the People. The Who, What, Where, When, Why, How and anything else that matters.

As you know, Magoo48, We the People must have access to a free press -- one free to Find out. Free to Report. Free to Analyze. Free to Share. Otherwise, the liars will continue to get ahead, wars will continue uninterrupted, and the rich will continue to get richer at the expense of most everyone else.

I suppose if we could make it public funded and pay the journalists well, it might work. We’d have to keep it untainted by government, private, and corporate interests. It probably require some sort of public oversight, being careful not to let outside influences pollute the journalism like it has school boards.

The more you think about it, it’s damn hard to protect journalistic integrity.

What happened to you, Journalism?

'nuff said

They would air it pronto!

Well too fucking bad!

TO offend an ex prez who tried to overthrow our govt? sent covid equipment to Putin? keeps whining that Fema $$ is going to immigrants?

SERIOUSLY?

Don't forget that they're all in this to make a profit. They have different viewpoints and different degrees of veracity, but the bottom line is profit. Thanks Reagan.

SMH

They're definitely wealthy and are ostensibly protecting their money by protecting tRump. The execs will definitely benefit from a tRump tax cut package.

...Rebecca Blumenstein, president of editorial for NBC News, is taking david pecker's National Enquirer place as trump's "Catch & Kill" specialist.

They're the ones who created the product, am I right? They should be able to broadcast it however they choose.

Otherwise, why make the frigging documentary in the first place?


This reeks of corporate and political interference.

Keep hanging around and you'll be tainted

If they are afraid to air the truth now what's it going to be like if Trump gets back in power.

It's pretty bad when congress, the Supreme Court, and the media act as though we are already under dictatorship?

Another reason not to watch it.

The one that WOULD get Trump to do another debate (about $2 billion into his private account) is not something NBC would offer in the first place.

Not everyone has.

What the 45 Admin did was a test for what they will do if 45 gets back into the WH

Raw Story geadljned this story incorrectly, imo. Based on the following excerpts from the article, it sounds to me like it's the bosses at NBC who want to hold this back, not MSNBC.

MSNBC and NBC are separate entities,, both of which are the part of NBCUniversal News Group, owned by Comcast. I'm not clear on the exact relationship between the two or how much control the head honchos at NBC have over MSNBC's programming decisions, but they obviously have some, and it seems clear to me that the objections to airing this documentary are coming from NBC executives, not MSNBC, as the headline implies.

After reading all the replies accusing MSNBC of selling out or some such thing, I felt this was worth pointing out. I believe we need to put the blame where it belongs: with NBC, not MSNBC!

I also don't think we've heard the last word on this controversy. Now that Darcy has gone public with this, the parties involved will no doubt make their own positions clear. I'll be very surprised if there isn't mention of this on some of the MSNBC shows tonight. And who knows, if enough pressure is put on NBC, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of MSNBC being allowed to air the documentary prior to the election.

As Rachel Maddow always says, "Watch this space!"

This is a bad move by MSNBC

HE WILL MAKE STUFF UP!!!!

Um... yeah, NBC, why not say you aren't going to air it until you know he has lost? We all know you won't air it in Dec if he wins. You might offend him.

I don't know how that kind of you tube sir. We must have been hacked

They are dogs, very well-paid dogs!

Here is what I sent them.
Hi, I heard that this doc wouldn't be aired before the election. If this is true then I think that should be rethought. I've been a daily watcher of MSNBC for a long time now and I would be very upset it that is the case. Not doing so, withholding information in a presidential election if it is factual is a very bad thing. Sometimes you have to do what is right for the country even if you have to take some flak that will blow over anyways. It's not like the republican party is going to stop thinking MSNBC is fake news if you dont.
