With the Olympics in Sochi about to kick off in a few days, Chris Jansing flew out last week. So a substitute anchor was going to be needed to do her show today since she’s in Russia…
Richard Lui?
Thomas Roberts?
Veronica De La Cruz?
Betty Nguyen?
Ari Melber…
MSNBC could have put on any number of its news anchors to do her show, which ostensibly is supposed to be a news show, and instead it tapped a pundit…someone known for their ideological opinions and not their journalistic bonafides.
(three paragraphs of ICN ranting about the differences between journalists and pundits and how this sends mixed messages to the viewers about the purpose of Jansing’s show snipped)
Sigh…
