2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hold on Rachel [View all]napi21
(45,806 posts)17. I'm sure it was orders from the MSNBC, chiefs or MAYBE the NBC chiefs.
NBC is a VERY, VERY BIG Corporation, and they don't want someone like Bernie to win the nomination. He promised to make them PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES. I honestly don't fault either Rachel or Chris for showing a bias toward Hillary. If you remember Keith Olberman don't you? That's what happens when you buck the bosses.
Aside from this one issue, I still think Rachel is an excellent reporter (if that's what they call the suit behind the network desk). We've learned more from her about many news worthy items that are never discussed by anyone else. Chris is sometimes a PIA, but he'os also one of the good ones.
You can't really fault people for wanting to keep their job, can you?

The drop in turnout was solely because Hillary failed to turn out the vote for herself.
