Flashback: MSNBC Producer Pens Letter Calling Network A 'Cancer' Stoking 'Division'
*Originally published August 2020* If it walks like a duck, it’s probably a duck. Everybody knows that MSNBC does its audience a disservice by reporting opinion over fact. But they’re not about to let up anytime soon.
Thankfully, one woman has seen the light.
And she’s outta there!
From Daily Wire:
A former MSNBC producer wrote an open letter on Monday explaining why she left the far-left network a little over a week ago, saying that they are a “cancer” that is “stoking national division” by amplifying “fringe voices” and forcing “journalists to make bad decisions on a daily basis.”
The letter was written by Ariana Pekary, who Fox News noted described herself as an “integral member” of MSNBC’s “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell.”
CONTINUED:
“July 24th was my last day at MSNBC. I don’t know what I’m going to do next exactly but I simply couldn’t stay there anymore,” Pekary wrote. “My colleagues are very smart people with good intentions. The problem is the job itself. It forces skilled journalists to make bad decisions on a daily basis.”
Pekary said that at MSNBC it was “practically baked in to the editorial process” that decisions on what and who give coverage to were based on what would generate the most ratings for the network. She said that behind closed doors “industry leaders will admit the damage that’s being done.”
Nobody outside of Chinese leaders can be blamed for coronavirus. The communist nation was responsible for the outbreak and initially failed to alert the rest of the world before it got as bad as is.
Now, every world leader is doing their best to combat further spreading of the disease.
President Trump and his team have stepped up to the plate, advising Americans on what needs to be done. Precautions have been taken. All that’s left to do is ride out the storm. But according to this MSNBC analyst, who used to be a federal prosecutor, Trump should be charged with homicide.
LOOK:
Hey All. Can we talk about 1 of the few topics I may actually know too much about: homicide? Specifically, whether Donald Trump may have criminal exposure for some level of negligent homicide or voluntary/involuntary manslaughter for the way he’s mishandled the Coronavirus crisis

I spent 22 of my 30 years as a federal prosecutor handling murder cases in Washington, DC. I served as Chief of the Homicide Section at the DC US Attorney’s Office, overseeing all murder prosecutions in the city. I was always on the lookout for novel ways to apply homicide …

liability in an attempt to appropriately and ethically hold accountable those who were responsible for taking the life of a fellow human being. I think it’s fair to observe that there’s nothing more devestating to a family then losing a loved one to ether violent crime or to …

homicide liability. This is not an easy question. Further, whereas the evidence is clear that Trump has committed multiple criminal offenses both before his tenure as president (campaign finance crimes) & during his time as president (obstruction of justice, bribery/extortion)…

homicide liability by his negligent/grossly negligent (and/or possibly intentional) mishandling of the Coronavirus crisis in the US is a more nuanced and thorny issue and deserves careful consideration. But the homicide liability issue MUST be addressed because …

ALL criminal charges will have to be investigated and, if the evidence dictates it, prosecuted come Jan. 2021. Stay tuned … #TrumpCrimesCommission #TCC #JusticeIsComing

A congressional candidate agrees…
The calculation looks basically like this. The number infected would also increase as a result of Trump* in addition to the fatality rate.
But this is the base template IMHO. pic.twitter.com/0Spr1GgCRo
