The backlash has already started, being called a lying liberal B**** on twitter by fox new supporters and worse.

She will now be known as a Lying Liberal _______ to Trump supporters, and a right wing _______ to liberals.

(23,671 posts)really is. If she asks hard questions and demands straight answer, especially from the RW I'll be ok with that.
But if MSNBC expected her to bring her followers from FOX, that's not going to happen. They aren't there just for her, they've got Hannity, O'Reilly and the rest of the scum to keep the RW'ers entranced.

(27,811 posts)I'll give her credit for it - and that's going to mean changed on a lot of things, not just that she got chased from Fox because she didn't like Ailes or Trump (I seem to recall, for example, she once said that Santa Claus should be white).
She'll need to win me over, but I don't mind giving credit if there's been actual change and if she proves to be a good journalist. If.

(37,160 posts)Just think how someone with her background -- Law school grad and at least 9 years in practice -- acted like a dimwit who needed to Google what 'czar' meant. Like she didn't know, and at least theoretically her job as a journalist would be to ecxplain its context in US government shorthand.
No, she toed the Murdoch line of inFOXicating their viewers. She spent her media career prepping people to eat up horseshit like it was chocolate. As a warm-up act for the Kremlin Don Show.
If she actually changes her tune, great! But feel sorry for her getting shit from the wing nuts for no longer instantly toeing the Conservatively Correct line? Naw. She built that.
