MS-NBC can’t handle the truth from someone they invited to appear and cut off his mic

Over at Hot Air, Ed Morrissey has a post titled, “Video: Ziegler gets him mike cut off by MS-NBC.” Invited to appear on MS-NBC to be interviewed by Norah O’Donnell, they pulled a bait-and-switch on Ziegler by not only changing the interviewer but by refusing to discuss the subject he was called to talk about. Read the post for the details.

Here’s my question: why would anyone that doesn’t drink the MS-NBC “Tingle Up My Leg”-brand kool-aid ever agree to appear on that slimepit of a network? My advice to people who get a call about it would be to tell them to take a hike. If enough people refused to talk with that cesspool they’d either change their ways and return to being actual journalists or they’d die on the vine. Either way, we’re better off.
