Summary
Credibility Shot As Reporters BANNED From Appearing On CNN And MSNBC. In a surprising turn The New York Times has banned its staff from appearing on CNN and MSNBC shows, specifically Don Lemon, Rachel Maddow, and Lawrence O'Donnell over the shows being "too partisan."
CNN and MSNBC have gone so far off the rails that now the NYT is worried that if any of their staff appears on the show they will be accused of partisan bias.
While this has always been true of Fox news, many leftists and far left activists claim that only Fox News is biased but now we can see that the polarization is getting worse and MSNBC and CNN are being treated exactly the same. While the idea of left wing media or liberal bias has existed for a while, this is direct proof that even the NYT feels its bad.
This comes at a time when Rachel Maddow's ratings are their lowest yet and CNN is laying off many staff members.
Perhaps this is a good example of journalism's Get Woke Go Broke

| 0:00.0 | In what is both a striking blow to the credibility of CNN and MSNBC and also a dangerous |
| 0:06.8 | escalation in the culture war? We are now learning the New York Times is barring its reporters |
| 0:13.2 | from appearing on Don Lemons' show and Rachel Maddow's show because they are too partisan |
| 0:18.0 | in this story from Fox News. Now Fox News does highlight these shows specifically, |
| 0:23.1 | but moving into the actual Vanity Fair report, they do mention Fox News. |
| 0:28.5 | The big takeaway here is that we are becoming polarized to an even greater degree. You may |
| 0:34.0 | remember just a couple of weeks ago Pete Buttigieg backed out of an interview with Dave Rubin |
| 0:38.5 | following backlash from left-wing activists working in media. What we're seeing here is, as I |
| 0:43.5 | mentioned, two things. New York Times is worried their reporters will look partisan by appearing on |
| 0:51.4 | Don Lemons' and Rachel Maddow's show. Now, for the longest time, people have criticized Fox News, |
| 0:56.8 | but they like to claim that there's no liberal media while the New York Times disagrees. |
| 1:01.1 | This is a striking blow to the credibility of these shows because now we know they are partisan |
| 1:05.8 | shows. I do think it's absurd, however. Why shouldn't a reporter appear on anyone else's show? |
| 1:12.0 | Why shouldn't someone appear on Dave's Rubin show? Why does partisanship have to do what has |
| 1:15.6 | to do with anything? In fact, they should appear on the show and be placed, you know, under scrutiny, |
| 1:21.3 | by people of varying political factions. But this is another part of the big polarization. |
| 1:26.3 | New York Times is basically saying they're not impartial journalists fine, but it's scary when |
| 1:31.0 | you realize it's becoming so polarized that they're not going to even talk to people on the other |
| 1:36.9 | side anymore. Before we read into all this, go to TimKast.com slash done it if you'd like to support |
