calimary's JournalWell, look at it this way...
"After further review" VERY LIKELY means they've gotten shit for airing it, because the spot itself has gotten shit. And perhaps having it shoved in their faces that the NBC audience skews LIBERAL. To the LEFT. And that audience has already made its displeasure felt quite clearly in other situations.
I'd say the sphincter muscles are tight, in and around the executive suites at 30 Rock. They've already yanked their 23-MILLION-DOLLAR "baby" Megyn Kelly - who finally stepped in it once too often with her "blackface for whitey's Halloween costume" rumination last week. And don't think there weren't complaints about her, btw. Even if you only look at her ratings - consistently disappointing. In terms of their investment in her - COLOSSALLY disappointing. Everyone in their weekday morning talent pool is paid less, and liked and watched more. Sometimes MUCH more.
And awhile back, remember, they also laid an egg trying Greta Van Susteren on the MSNBC viewership - another colossal FAIL. So I'd say there's much greater unease about CON talent in general, as well as tin-ear'd on perceived racial insensitivity.
It wouldn't surprise me, either, if the NBC brass probably also acutely recalls ABC's catastrophic (but mercifully brief) liaison with Roseanne "trump-supporter" Barr, and hopefully taking that to heart, as well.
The viewers don't like this shit. And I suspect the mainstream networks are acutely conscious of what a trend looks like. So it's not surprising that NBC thought it better NOT to run that racist intolerant deceitful shit. Shoulda done it much sooner, though.
Only gonna happen if Democrats VOTE, Dammit!
C'MON, TEAM!!!
We outnumber them! There are more DEMS than CONS! WE have the majority! The numbers are OURS!
If only we'd USE THEM!!!!
Annoys you, too, 'eh? Sometimes if I'm feeling lazy,
I just hit the mute button and check my email or something else that takes my eyes off the TV. And the dog can always use another pee-walk...
We were actually having an Election Night Party with a few close friends.
I was that confident. And I wasnt disappointed!
We had Chicago-style pizza, cans of Arizona Sun tea and Delaware Punch to drink, and for dessert - a chocolate moose! I bought this chocolate mousse cake at the local bakery and stuck some brown pipe cleaners twisted into antler shape into one side! What a feast! And then when Barack Obama passed the magic number of electoral votes, I remember sitting on the sofa with my arms raised high up, and fist-pumping the air in delicious triumph!
What a GREAT night!
Excellent!
Lordy Lordy I hope he wins!
A teachable moment for Ted Cruz - who sure does need one, if anyone does.
NICE!
Womp womp...
That's an amazing story, DFW!
Yes! Do it! VOTE, Dammit!
