The elephant in the room on MSNBC.

[Bluetus]

49. In my book, integrity means being willing to walk away

from a cushy job when you are not allowed to speak the truth and do what is morally and ethically right. The fact acting with integrity would cost them millions of dollars, compared to some of us who might be giving up much less by taking a stand, is irrelevant.

For those to whom much has been given, much is expected.

It is doubly bad when they carry on like "Gee whiz, I don't know, maybe there is something a little wrong with what's going on. Maybe?" But they do it because saying anything more honest results in a swift exit from Comcast.

That's where the integrity question is answered. And don't get me wrong. The people still at CNN, WashPo, NYT et al have even less personal integrity. But they cast themselves as heroes trying to carry on the good fight with their voices crushed to a mere whisper.

These people are not going to help us. Ironically, they have been among the greatest enablers of Trump by continuing to show up day after day and only speak the 5% of the truth that is allowed by Comcast.

Maddow took a "pay cut" to $25M
Scarborough makes $5M+
Ruhle > $2M
Wallace > $2M
Holt $10M
Todd $4M
Kornacki > $2M

This is the going price for Comcast to get people to toe the line. As the old saying goes, "We have already determined what you are. Now we are just negotiating the price."
