MSNBC caves in to the Clintons

THE GROVEL CONTINUES: MSNBC airs an hour-long campaign ad biographical feature on Hillary Clinton. "This pre-empts the regularly scheduled programming, a show called Deadly Encounter. Not joking."

I think we know what happened here. It was probably similar to this subplot from The Godfather:

Among the guests at the celebration is the famous singer Johnny Fontane, Corleone's godson, who has come from Hollywood to petition for help in landing a movie role that will revitalize his flagging career. Jack Woltz, the head of the studio, will not give Fontane the part, but Don Corleone explains to Johnny: "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse." Hagen is dispatched to California to fix the problem, but Woltz angrily tells him that he will never cast Fontane in the role, for which he is perfect, because Fontane seduced and "ruined" a starlet that Woltz favored. The next morning, Woltz wakes up to find the bloody severed head of his prize stud horse in the bed with him. Woltz gives in.


UPDATE: Jake Tapper reports that the Clintons don't want Shuster fired after all. Of course not. Now that they've shown they can yank his chain whenever they want, it's much better to keep him on the job, properly subservient!

#5  Extreme Mortman: "ItÂ’s hard to read about MSNBCÂ’s relationship to the mothership Clinton campaign these days without being reminded of Vichy France."
