The stuff like maddow blaming the online left is great because if you have any memory at all, it's that msnbc folks spent 2016-2020 complaining that the left and bernie folks were not woke enough. But now they scared all the moderates away by being too woke.

extremely weird how on mobile random image leeching can be easily accomplished by just viewing the image source and putting it in tags but anything from imgur the site whose gimmick is being a proper source for embedded images you gotta use the special formula and gently caress you for wanting to see the special formula if youre on mobile

It's a common typo they wanted to type "rich white liberal whose ancestors owned black slaves" but somehow they typed "progressive". e: it keeps happening, no one know why.

I'd say with a ratio that one-sided MSNBC must have some Matt Laurer-type poo poo happening, but is there anyone at that network with the clout who could get away with something that egregious? Aside from Maddow, I couldn't confidently name any MSNBC anchors.

DC Murderverse

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

that is actually about the print /online writing, there’s a separate chart for broadcast news, which would be where Maddow is represented.



also kinda makes me wonder why they separate MSNBC and NBC, they’re separate channels but how separated are they? I know Ronan Farrow worked with both at various points (and had a hell of a time getting his work published, which considering his work, isn’t surprising)

edit: the overall trend is, unsurprisingly, that the older the medium, the more it’s ruled by men. News outlets that originated on the Internet and cable have more parity than broadcast news, which in turn has more parity than newspapers and newspaper-run websites. MSNBC’s internet publishing is a notable exception, which I have to imagine means that whatever rear end in a top hat runs that particular outlet is bad at hiding his biases

https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/06/europe/bosnia-serb-secession-threat-intl-cmd/index.html

PROBLEM: the bosnian confederation is collapsing because the victor's justice did nothing to address the causes of the war and giving international occupiers free reign to shoot anyone they felt like didn't embolden the occupied population to the new government
SOLUTION: interview a bunch of NATO spokespeople about how the international community failed to properly exterminate the serbian population of bosnia-herzegovina and thats why we need to deploy more troops to the balkans to curb the russo-sino-serbian threat

quote:

Many in the West accept in private that it has thus far failed to step up to the plate and it might now be too late. Multiple sources in the EU, NATO and the wider European diplomatic community expressed regret at the West's historic failure to place sanctions or act otherwise against those fanning the flames in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
"Dodik and his clique of secessionists and genocide deniers have been appeased consistently for 15 years by the international community. He has been talking about -- and moving towards -- secession since 2006," said Helic.
Mujanović said that while neighboring Serbia and Russia are the "primary architects of this crisis," he does believe that "the refusal of the international community -- in particular, the NATO states -- to decisively act to nip this in the bud years ago" has emboldened Dodik and his supporters. Mujanović pointed specifically at the EU, which he said had been "extremely underwhelming" due to its own internal discord, making the bloc "at this point in many ways a non-factor."
...
However, there is some reason for hope. Mujanović says that EU member states could "enact unilateral sanctions against" Dodik and his cronies, which he believes would have some impact.
But diplomacy didn't work in the 1990s, and Cidic does not believe it will work now. "This failed diplomatic approach resulted in over 100,000 perished, and over 1.1 million refugees," he said.
That harder approach could be sanctions, combined with treating secessionist moves as a European "security challenge," Helic said. "We have to roll this back. The sooner we do it the better and easier it is. We don't want to wait for years like we did in the 1990s."
