A former White House press secretary of the previous administration has a new job, the Today Show has hired another leftist democrat Josh Ernest as a “political analyst” to join in the network’s savaging of the GOP.
I would hardly say that NBC is “NEWS” anymore, but rather a “Show” for FAKE NEWS. They got a good hire out of this one, that is not to say the other former press secretary Jay Carney is any better, but Josh is a more natural liar than the group on air now.
The meme of the next four years is now, wait for it…. the GOP needs to reach across the isle. Ernest had this to say on his first show.
The one unifying principle of congressional Republicans over the last ten years has been instinctive, reflective opposition to everything related to President Obama. That’s why it was easy for them to vote to repeal ObamaCare. But when it came to replacing it, when it came to building a coalition to actually do something proactive and positive for the country, there’s no consensus in the Republican Party. And again, as long as you’re unwilling to work with Democrats to try to find some common ground, we’re going to be stuck in the – stuck in the mud here.
Then Ernest says that the democrats have a good position, they need to obstruct.
Well, first of all, I think it’s clear that…Democrats in Congress are holding a much stronger hand than it looked like they were holding 65 days ago. So the question is, how are they going to play that hand? They have some leverage now and they should use it. And if there are opportunities to make progress on their terms in support of some values and priorities that Democrats have identified, they can look for those opportunities. But they don’t have to fold to Republicans right now, they’re holding – they’re playing a strong hand.
and of course neither Guthrie nor Lauer called out Earnest’s blatant hypocrisy of demanding Republicans reach out to Democrats and then advising Democrats to refuse to work with Republicans. The partisan nature of ObamaCare’s passage in 2010 was also never mentioned.
Ernest then goes on to ADVISE TRUMP to call the former president for help.
“I’m not aware that they’ve had any conversations since President Trump took office. But the telephone line still works, so if he wants some advice or some insight, I’m confident that President Obama, who’s interested in the success of the country, would be happy to share his experience with President Trump.”
The Media Research Center has stated that Josh Earnest is just the latest Obama mouthpiece to leave the White House and walk right into a plush media job as an “analyst.” Both of his predecessors were granted similar roles. Former press secretary Jay Carney joined CNN as a pundit upon leaving the administration in 2014. In 2013, Obama’s first spokesman Robert Gibbs became and MSNBC and NBC News contributor.
If you thought NBC was going to stop with partisan propaganda and return to it’s roots of a NEWS organization, well you have your answer. They just don’t get it.
