104. I am glad they fired her

I am troubled by their statement though about continuing to wanting to hire people with varying view points. I'd be okay with that, if it were a traditional old fashioned conservative Republican.

But there isn't one Trump supporter they could find who doesn't support the big lie about the election, or over throwing the United States of America as it exists? If they want to interview some of the shit heads with a reporter who is willing forcefully humiliate them with facts, I'm fine with that. Giving the jobs as "contributers or commentators", however, gives the false impression they actually have something of truth and value to add to the conversation. If there is a Maggat capable of doing that I haven't seen one yet. The fourth estate's job isn't to please and appease all viewers, it's to report on what's actually happening, and when commenting can be of value add it, but only when it's reality based.
