NBC News’ Yamiche Alcindor troubled by ‘unsettling development’ during Senate vote on Ketanji Brown Jackson

The U.S. Senate voted today to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. Judge Jackson was confirmed with the help of three Republican “yes” votes:

The final vote total was slightly delayed:

Chad Pergram ~ Vote to confirm Jackson still open. All but one senator has voted: GOP KY Sen Rand Paul.
1:06 PM · Apr 7, 2022

Senator Paul eventually voted:

Burgess Everett ~ Sen. Rand Paul shows up, votes no.
1:16 PM · Apr 7, 2022

So, based on the timing of these tweets, Senator Paul was late to the vote by no more than 10 minutes. 

Curtis Houck ~ NBC's Yamiche Alcindor says Rand Paul's delayed vote on Ketanji Brown Jackson was "an unusual" and "unsettling development" that "remind[ed]" her of "conversations" with "Black woman who say they've had to navigate ... hurdles ... indignities in order to achieve what they want."

After that, right on cue, Yamiche Alcindor of NBC News and PBS did her “journalism” thing:

Did anybody not expect this particular “journalist” to take that approach?

Of course this is her approach ... she's not a journalist ... she's a racist, leftist hack.

Good point ... Yamiche Alcindor is probably hoping that her embarrassing boot-licking might get her Circle-Back Psaki's job when she leaves for MSNBC.

Hmm, we didn’t hear such talk during a certain previous nomination:

Scott Akos ~ Wish the anchor would ask Yamiche if the name Janice Rogers Brown means anything to her.

Yeah, the SCOTUS nomination of a black woman that the racist Joe Biden helped to quash. 

Leigh Santos ~ Maybe most people don't want someone easy on pedophiles on the highest court in the land.

More than just that, unfortunately ... how can anyone expect this twit to apply Constitutional law if she can't ... won't ... even opine on the definition of a woman and whether American citizens do possess inalienable rights. Good grief ... this woman is callow, which makes her unfit to sit on any federal bench. 

Alcindor was just doing her job as she sees it, which is to be a mouthpiece for the Democrats.

Infighting: NBC News Staffers Angry About Jen Psaki’s Deal with MSNBC, Citing Conflict of Interest

NBC News staffers are angry and “troubled” about White House press secretary Jen Psaki’s television deal with MSNBC, according to the network’s competitor CNN.

Psaki’s tentative deal to move over as an MSNBC opinion host has “perturbed staffers” because Psaki has become a news story while still lecturing from the White House podium as press secretary. Staffers are reportedly angered by a conflict of interest that allegedly violates NBC News’s so-called journalistic standards.

Well, there is your first logical error ... NBC News has absolutely no journalistic standards whatsoever. It's a leftist propaganda network, not a news network. 

The fact that Psaki is slated for an opinion role at MSNBC and not a “more typical post-White House role, such as a political analyst offering opinion and analysis on another person’s program,” has caused outrage among NBC News staffers.

On Friday, NBC News president Noah Oppenheim quickly tried to suppress the frustration among employees by holding a phone conversation with those who feel Psaki’s hiring “tarnishes” the NBC News brand.

NBC News' brand cannot be tarnished ... it's already corroded through and through. 

Oppenheim claimed to staffers that NBC News is not involved in hiring Psaki. Oppenheim also stated the opinion arm at MSNBC should take the blame and that Psaki’s hiring is irrelevant to the “journalism” of NBC News.

“Here’s what he was saying: They have perspective programming. This was done on the perspective programming side. Not anything that reflects on NBC News,” one of the persons on the call with Oppenheim explained.

“People wanted answers on what NBC’s role was in this and NBC News had no role in this,” the person continued. “This is MSNBC’s perspective programming.”

Psaki declined to comment Wednesday on CNN’s report, but a White House staffer allegedly told CNN that Psaki has “recused herself” from conducting interviews on MSNBC or NBC News for the time being.

Psaki is a former CNN commentator who transitioned to work in politics for President Joe Biden. She is now looking to cash out from her White House position and move into the private sector.

Outside of the Psaki drama, there seems to be some bad blood between NBC News and MSNBC. Because there is some cross-pollination between the two networks, staffers at NBC News are unhappy they are exposed to MSNBC’s opinion and radical content. Some NBC News talent fear MSNBC’s perspective will end up reflecting on them.

Both NBC News and MSNBC are owned by NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast.
