She’s gonna be busy!
Sanders, the chief spokeswoman for Kamala Harris and a senior adviser to Biden 2020, left the White House last month. “I'm going to bring my whole self to this show," she tells the NYT.

Oh, we have no doubt she will.
No network is going to be tougher or more skeptical in its coverage of this administration than… er… the network that is giving former administration press secretaries their own shows! https://t.co/NAveBukmAa

Who does NBC/MSNBC think they’re fooling with this? We’re genuinely curious.
What bias? https://t.co/UcswKF7wsM

Heh.
The news industry has become one big circle jerk. https://t.co/3WNwB2VH92

Gross. But true.
It's a lateral move. https://t.co/pxWHYolRrE

Indeed. And:
It was inevitable. https://t.co/Yt1Hd2Ig2l

You could set your watch by this stuff. It’s like there’s a direct pipeline from the Democratic White House to MSNBC and CNN.
She's going to try and help Kamala from this side of the aisle. https://t.co/q1uTIQWcRu

She’ll certainly be in a much better position to spin on Kamala Harris’ behalf.
Fox is a wing of the GOP.
MSNBC is a wing of the DNC. https://t.co/sstGm5fZCU

Plenty on the Right are willing to acknowledge that, generally speaking at least, Fox News leans Republican. Where’s the acknowledgment from the Left that MSNBC is nothing more than a Democratic mouthpiece?
These media companies hire political operatives and then expect us to trust what they're saying, as if their messaging ain't propaganda.
No thanks. Hard pass. https://t.co/Zg7jGKUimu
