Big news in Real Journalism World today! Yamiche Alcindor is going places:
.@Yamiche will join the ranks of @NBCNews' Washington Bureau in March, adding to the network's growing all-star reporting team covering every corner of the nation's capital.
A big win for Team Peacock. @Variety's @bristei has more. https://t.co/jCZDj13AKi

Well, PBS’ loss is … also NBC’s loss.
LOL

NBC apparently thinks they’ve landed a hot commodity in Yamiche Alcindor, but all they’ve acquired is yet another reason for people to tune them out.
Ah, this should restore the public's trust in the MSM's commitment to an unbiased Washington press corps. https://t.co/xo8izLjFg8

Finally.
NBC didn’t want to hire a journalist?

Shocked that a leftwing activist is getting a job as a "reporter" on NBC News. https://t.co/KetWp4AZmX

.@NBCNews staffing room:
"Guys, who is the most partisan, openly DNC backing reporter in the WH press room?"
"Definitely @Yamiche Alcindor from @PBS "
"OK, we need more of that. Hire her" https://t.co/K9yk2RxW0x

Because there’s not nearly enough hard-left opinion at @NBCNews

With record low trust in the media you consider hiring one of the most blatant partisans as a win? Really?

She’s an activist and it’s ridiculous any network is going to pretend she’s a reporter.
If you want her on-air, hire her as a political commentator. https://t.co/HQtu3KOIAC

At least that would be honest. Yamiche Alcindor’s “journalist” masquerade is a well known sham. If NBC News wants us to take them seriously, they shouldn’t indulge it.
The more openly and explicitly liberal/pro-DNC these news outlets get, the better. The fraud of neutrality has long been recognized for what it is, and is a major cause of trust erosion.
Fly the blue flag proudly. The politics are gross but it’s more honest. https://t.co/7HYO2Tu7ht

Exactly. Embrace the suck, NBC.
Taking her garbage hackery to the private sector. https://t.co/4N7dfibE2x

At least the taxpayers are no longer contributing to that train wreck.

Don’t get too excited … it may not be easy, but PBS could always replace her with someone even worse.
