Access-Mongering Sycophancy

Andrew Feinberg @AndrewFeinberg
Maybe I'm not understanding how the world works because I'm not a big time TV news person but rewarding the candidate who blew up a presidential debate with his own counterprogramming town hall on the same night feels like access-mongering sycophancy. 7:27 AM · Oct 14, 2020

To kiss the losers ass.

And, there are only two reasons to do it, either they have some inside info that the fix is in or they cynically figure team Biden/Harris is naively forgiving. (Which Democrats often are to a fault.)

Either way... This is not how a business dedicated to serve in the public's interest acts.

NBC succumbed. I can still remember how Matt Lauer mistreated HRC.
