Former MSNBC Producer Claims Andrew Yang Blacklisted By ‘The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell’
“On 4/25/19, I was told that we were never to pursue Andrew for an interview on our show (along with several others).”
You may (or may not) recall MSNBC producer Ariana Pekary quitting her job back in August and writing an open letter about how commercial networks are a “cancer.”
She revealed on Twitter Sunday that Democrat presidential candidate Andrew ‘Free Money for Everyone’ Yang was blacklisted from an MSNBC show called “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell.”
It started with a tweet about how Yang was “blacked out” at MSNBC (archive link).
Actually, I just reviewed my journal. On 4/25/19, I was told that we were never to pursue Andrew for an interview on our show (along with several others). The list of candidates was dictated, but the reasons for allowing them or not were not explained.

She follows this up by clarifying that it was on the one show that she worked on (that she was aware of, anyway).
Unfortunately it is not a joke. To be clear the list was unique to The Last Word (did not come from upper mgt). And looking back, I’m somewhat surprised by the list – who was in, who was out (“somewhat” but not entirely). Some “friends” of the show were out, others were in.

Even loopy Marianne ‘Let’s Pray an Apology to Black People‘ Williamson, who was briefly a Democrat candidate for president, noticed.
The political/media industrial complex had a pre-prescribed conversation, and a pre-prescribed list of people they were willing to allow into the conversation. What voters were presented with was an illusion of choice.

As of this writing, neither Lawrence O’Donnell nor “The Last Word” have responded on Twitter.

Just reading the words “Lawrence O’Donnell” has left me with a splitting headache.
I have to go and do some om-ing.
There are more people blacklisted than actually watch his show. Lol

Well, yeah. Everybody who saw absolutely nothing wrong with the Libertarian and Green candidates consistently getting zero coverage on network news shows should have no problem with the ratchet tightening. You’ve already proven what you are, now we’re just haggling over the length of the whips.
As far as I’m concerned, Yang’s nutty “free checks for everybody” scheme proves he has about the same level of economics expertise as AOC. Well, that’s how the cookie crumbles.
How many O’Donnells are there on TV these days!?
Was he canceled or deplatformed?
The left has created so many new and wonderful terms and concepts for us to usher in their master plan for America (socialism).
