By now one must suspect it's not that they just can't hear what they sound like, but that they know perfectly well what they are communicating.

His purpose is to adjust how colors are rendered in the metaphorical imagery MSNBC is casting.

I do not delve too deeply into my little camera, and did not understand why there was a white balance control. Your apt comparison showed both what the hack does do, and what that control is for....

Thank you.

There is no up-side to Todd in his present position, just a steady series of on-air disasters. MSNBC should have fired him years ago.

"Because no one seems concerned at all about what Black, Indigenous, LGBTQ parents want taught."

It's not just that what Black, Indigenous, and LGBTQ parents want to be taught matters, it's that no one seems to think at all about who wants it.

The default baseline is white/conservative, and everything else has to be begged and pleaded for. Why? They're parents too!
