    Liberalism strikes again, always performative in their actions and ready to abandon their principles in a second.

    Start reading leftist news sources instead of this mainstream crap.

      In America corporations are people.

      All for profit corporations have one simple goal which is to increase their parofits.

      The governments that will allow them to do that are when Republicans are in charge.

        Because they don’t know what any of it really means. They should quit playing that stupid game and accept that at the top it doesn’t matter what they pretend to be. They are the moneyed classes, the power classes and they enjoy having people jump through their pretend ideologies while they hold on to their hoard of money.

        Because a leftist organisation would hold some conviction.

        Liberalism doesn’t care about society and will happily abandon anything ‘progressive’ at the drop of a hat, and like wise will slap a pink/rainbow coat of paint on top when it suits them.

            Liberalism a set of beliefs around very basic personal liberty and a strong focus on property rights, promoting “free markets” and laissez-faire policies directly resulting in capitalist systems that favour profit over integrity.

            Liberalism in the old school sense of valuing economic liberty, which to an extreme extent valuing private property and money. And here we see NBC caving in to compromising progressive social values to money.

            I think you’re confusing American liberalism for what liberalism is in the rest of the world. OP is Australian.

    They didn’t have to comply in advance, at least it shows us they have no backbone.

    I already disliked NBC when they bought the platform Breaking News and shut it down in 2016. That platform literally helped expose me to headlines I would never have seen otherwise.
