Of Monsters, NBC, and MSNBC

Published April 28, 2011 2:25pm ET



Cable television talking head Lawrence O’Donnell, of MSNBC, went on a gutsy tirade last night, blasting his employer’s parent company for creating “a monster.”

“NBC can no longer avoid conflict with Mr. Trump,” O’Donnell apparently said on his show last night, according to Politico. “NBC has a conflict with Mr. Trump. NBC has created a monster who is using his NBC fame to spew hatred, reeking with racist overtones and undertones about the president of the United States. NBC can no longer stand idly by, not for one more day. The NBC entertainment division could not possibly have created a worse conflict with the NBC News division. The NBC entertainment division is now in possession of news that the NBC News division would [like to have]. An NBC paid performer, the most deranged egomaniac in the history of NBC entertainment division has spewed lies to the point where he provoked this.”
