Nice to see MSNBC has finally given up pretending to be an actual news organization.
Via Daily Caller:
MSNBC is leaning more left than forward in a new ad featuring an image of 2014 Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis overlaid with the words “Speak Out.”
The ad on New York Magazine’s Daily Intelligencer blog shows an image of Davis giving a speech between two other images, which all together say “Join In, Speak Out, Explore.”
Though not a direct contribution, there’s no denying that the use of Davis’ image in an ad for a major media outlet will be a boon to her campaign next year.
“Where the hypocrisy comes in here is when MSNBC funded commentators rail against political speech by others such as citizens and corporations speaking through super PACs,” campaign law expert Charles Spies told The Daily Caller.
“If corporate behemoth (and employer of multiple lobbyists) NBC Universal can use their resources to promote viewpoints and candidates, then why shouldn’t others be able to through super PACs and (political non-profit) c4 organizations?” Spies said.
