211. Most journalists work for large corporations or conglomerates.

All television political talk show hosts (all of them) work for large corporations or conglomerates. Don't know what the worth of a conglomerate has to do with anything.

You work for someone. Does that mean you don't take political positions that your employer doesn't want you to?

That's just utter nonsense. Joe has enough power on HIS show to state any opinion he wants. MSNBC is glad to have him making them a ton of money. It's not the other way around.

I've watched him on tv for years, before the MJ show. He's been a moderate Repub, and fair (but he IS a Repub, so I accept that that's where he was coming from). He is no longer a Repub.

His sidekick Mica also works for the same corporation.

All the paid pundits on the show work for the same corporation.

Rachel Maddow works for the same corporation. So does Lawrence O'Donnell.

The Washington Post and NYT journalists and columnists work for large corporations. That really is irrelevant to the work of journalism and political talk shows, when there's an important host; it's written in the contracts that the hosts dictate the content, freedom of expression and views, etc.
