NBC News, MSNBC, CNBC, NBC affiliates and TODAY

Pretty much. If you are a journalist your trustworthiness is your currency. Once you lose that you're toast.

If you work for Fox News as a purveyor of right-wing opinion then you're probably going to have trouble when you try to chance your arm on a more mainstream outlet.

Similarly, if you were an anchor on RT as a purveyor of partisan left-wing opinion, then you are probably never going to pop up on a reputable outlet.

That said, if you manage to get fired from a reputable newspaper for lying through your teeth and you could potentially wind up becoming a Minister of State, so hey-ho.

^^^ Or you get a late primetime show on network's news channel.

'Sadly'?! What's sad about it? She made a small fortune going to NBC and was well aware of the risks involved. If she wasn't already, this move has made her a multi-millionaire, despite having ZERO talent. She is to the US, what Katie Hopkins is the UK. A rent-a-gob.

I'm just about old enough to remember when TV journalists put integrity, experience and a passion for breaking original stories at the heart of their agenda - particularly in the USA. Megyn is not the product of a doomed system. She is one of the founders of it.

I watched that clip and frankly got rather bored quickly. A small, silly story in the Times about a local Uni banning costumes. I'm putting my Editor hat on here:

1 - Why is this of ANY relevance to a US audience?
2 - Who are all the people trying to ban the many things that are allegedly being banned?
3 - Will TV execs finally just start listening to the talented, experienced people working day and night to make powerful, engaging television, and stop pandering to lowest-common-denominator audiences - it's not good for advertising revenue, and it's not good for democracy.

Rant over.

Yeah, I can't lie, giving Brian Williams a show on MSNBC was particularly questionable and does nothing for the reputation of the channel.

Too bad that I can only give a single kudos to globaltraffic24's post.

His show is a sharp review of the day. Should be available as a podcast and listen to it for a week.

Per NBC (and Deadline, Variety, etc), Megyn Kelly Today will not return. Exit talks have begun (officially).

Deadline goes further and says Kelly has gone. Period.

So there's now a big gap in their scheduling. There were rumours that Savannah was being primed to move into that slot anyway. Will we now see Savannah Guthrie Today?

Quite agree.

The term "blackface" has been hijacked by the liberal left as the blanket offensive act of making your face darker for any reason (apart from spray tanning, but it's surely only a matter of time). Traditional blackface was offensive because it was an exaggeration of a racial stereotype which in turn mocked a race. That's the offence, and it is VERY offensive.

Darkening your skin to look like your favourite singer at a fancy dress party is not blackface. You may be wearing a black face, but not blackface. You're not enforcing a racial stereotype, you're dressing up as a specific person that happens to be black. There is a huge difference.

To say that there are different costumes a black person and a white person can get away with wearing is simply divisive, the opposite of where we're aiming to be.

Of course America has far more hang ups about race (and for good reason). I think a Loose Woman could get away with making the same remark and get away scot free.

Am I ignorant in saying that I don’t see anything offensive about the comments she made? Not a fan of the lady but watched that whole video wondering where the offensive comments were??

Oh, dear God... Suffice to say, I beg to differ in the strongest possible terms. It's never acceptable. Never.

But how is it actually racist if you're not poking fun at a race? It's not about race, it's absolutely nothing to do with race. It's about looking like a specific person.

I'm genuinely asking the question. Is it because it evokes memories of traditional blackface? Because if so I can begin to understand it, but I stand by my point that in the long run, saying black people and white people can't wear certain fancy dress because of their race is nothing but divisive and I don't see how that is a positive thing.
