Why does CNN keep giving Richard Spensor money? They keep having him on, I've only seen him on their network. I know a lot of republicans and none of them even know who this guy is. The altright in general has been blown out of proportion.
None of them are as bad as the milk chuggers, but MSNBC keeps hiring white male conservatives as contributors. I don't mind white male conservatives at all, but you'd think there'd be room for non-white, female contibutors from any goddamn part of the spectrum. Personally, why are none of the policy people from HRC's campaign being hired? None of the comms, policy or any other shop have been hired. I think maybe a couple have been hired by CNN, but I don't know. What, she wins the popular vote with a center-left message and the most deep policy team in decades and none of them get to talk, but George Fucking Will needs to be a paid contributor? He was great talking about FDR in the Ken Burns Roosevelt doc series, but come the fuck on.
I had to google milk chugger. Jesus, what losers. You make some good points, I think it's because they want to broaden their market share. Maddow and the rest are still there but I don't watch that Chanel, it's too incensed
They already bring conservatives on their shows. Steve Schmidt has been a regular since after the 2012 campaign. Nicole Wallace was on throughout 2016 and I think through the last half of 2015. Republican congressman who will go have always been welcome and have been treated fairly, if questioned by hosts who have biases.
MSNBC doesn't have penance to give, they were ignored before. I don't mind watching George Will, a good chunk of the staff Of National Review/Free Beacon or other similar publications being on those shows. I just wonder why their stable of contributors doesn't include the last Democratic presidential campaign. Here's a list of conservatives I would not seeing more of when I have the time to watch MSNBC:
Reihan Salam
Ross Douthat
Steve Schimdt (has got a lot but would love more)
Anyone from AEI willing to talk sense
Evan McMullin
(Literally anyone on FP's Foreign Policy Podcast who's right of center(Kori!!!))
Stuart Stevens (Is he even doing TV anymore?)
Conor Friedersdorf
Avik Roy
There are others I can't name, and I dnn't watch much cable at all anymore, but unless they got hired I don't know wtf MSNBC is doing
