Lawrence O'Donnell: There Will Be NO ONE Defending’ Trump on MSNBC

[See NewsBusters for more.] In a rare moment of candor, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell admitted what the network has become: An echo chamber that won’t accept debate. Appearing on The Al Franken Podcast, Sunday, O’Donnell disputed the idea that CNN “hates Trump.” The host contrasted, “On MSNBC there will be no one defending [Trump] because we don’t bring on liars. I don’t bring on a liar. I won’t do that.”  Challenging  the idea that CNN is anti-Trump, the host attacked the network for...allowing people to defend Republicans: “No, they don’t [hate Trump]. One third of the people on their payroll love Trump. So, you’re guaranteed on any hour of CNN to, minimum, one third of the programming will be supportive of Trump. Someone on their payroll saying, ‘Here’s why Trump is right.’”
