How do you think MSNBC is going to handle the Tur revelation?

[Marcus IM]

Maybe they'll give Ms Mitchell a longer show?

How about Jose Diaz Ballart?

I mean ... if they replace Tur, then it'll have to be w/another Orange ass kisser.

What say you, DU?

[getagrip_already]

1. They will promote her....

Give her Maddow slot AND Lawrence's slot.

What do you expect them to do? Something responsible?

[ZonkerHarris]

22. they will say she was a good reporter working her sources. Because at the end of the day

She is paid to cultivate relationships like this.

[RockRaven]

2. Ignore it, or...

Look at that squirrel!!!!!

[Marcus IM]

3. LOL. Hey! Rightwingers take Humera too! hahaha

[brush]

4. I doubt it's a surprise to them. I suspect some of the suits lean right right along with her.

Probably nothing will change.

[Irish_Dem]

14. The higher ups knew or at least suspected.

Or were in on the action as you say.

[bucolic_frolic]

5. I'd be surprised if she's suspended for a week

I thought Andrea, Katy, and Chris were an abysmal mix of bad hair and bad journalism.

[BuckIowa]

6. For those of us who have no idea WTF you are talking about, what Tur revelation??

[Marcus IM]

9. Michael Cohen fed her and Habberman favorable stories when he was working for tRump that they ran with. n/t

[creeksneakers2]

32. What exactly did they run with?

[eShirl]

10. Cohen gave her stories, I'm fuzzy on the details

[eShirl]

7. I know how they're not going to handle it

they're not going to yank her off the air today, apparently

[senseandsensibility]

8. Tur doesn't seem too worried but then again she's not the most perceptive person.

Is she?

[Irish_Dem]

16. Perceptive enough to find a gray train and hop on it.

And her MSNBC bosses didn't care.

[unblock]

11. Really doubt they did it behind anyone's back. Well besides the audience, of course.

I'm sure "we run this puff piece and he gives me a sit-down interview next week" earns a high-five from the editor.

Pretty sure they think the only problem was that it's all coming out now.

28. 👆👆👆👆

[Walleye]

12. Now we know what actual "fake news" is.

[kimbutgar]

13. Give Katie Phang her slot and let Katy Tur go spew her right wing bs on Fox!

[RipVanWinkle]

20. I second that!

Katie Phang is much, much better than Katy Tur(d).

[Johnny2X2X]

15. Who else is in his payroll?

This was years ago. Who has he corrupted since? Bet there are dozens of media members working for his campaign right now.

[Irish_Dem]

18. Yep. Katy is not the only one by a long shot.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. Katy Tur needs to go

Link to tweet

[Prairie Gates]

19. It's completely unreal that she had this level of connection to the trial and reported on it

as if she was some neutral observer.

This would 100% be a firing offense even 10 years ago, but is now met with a ho hum, that's just journalism!

The fuck it is.

[BigmanPigman]

21. Pelosi told Tur she is a tRump apologist

only a few weeks ago. MSNBC knows who and what Tur is and they have decided to keep her.
Pelosi to Tur:
"If you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, that may be your role, but it ain’t mine.”

[pwb]

23. She wants Mitchell's job. IMO.

Same, Same.

[Kaleva]

25. Don't really know who she is

It's somebody who says things on TV that some here don't like

[Demsrule86]

30. Testimony came in at the trial that she and Magie Haberman and one other were told by Trump and his campaign what

to print. She crossed a line.

[Kaleva]

31. She did something journalists have been doing since print began

She might suffer repercussions for it or she may not.

[angrychair]

26. Avoid it

They will avoid it and pretend it didn't happen just like any positive story of President Biden.

[PufPuf23]

27. MSNBC will likely do its best effort to ignore the Tur revelation.

Be interesting to hear Rachel Maddow and Nicole Wallace make comments.

Probably a feather in Tur's cap to some MSNBC executives.

Easy to minimize because only Democratic leaning news junkies will notice.

Trumpees already perceive Cohen a liar and traitor to their cause.

[Demsrule86]

29. I hope they fire her...she crossed a line. She colluded with Trump ET AL
