Russell Brand on Friday eviscerated MSNBC as a “propaganda” network with no room to moralize about Fox News in a relentless and fiery takedown directed right at MSNBC analyst John Heilemann.
Brand and Heilemann were on with Bill Maher for the latest Real Time on HBO, and sparks flew when the topic of revelations from Dominion’s defamation lawsuit against Fox News were brought up.
Brand took exception to singling out Fox and dismissed all of cable news as corporate “mouthpieces” and propagandists, laughing off the idea that some are less biased or have more integrity than others.
“It is disingenuous to claim that the biases that are exhibited on Fox News are any different from the biases exhibited on MSNBC,” Brand said. “It’s difficult to suggest that these corporations exist as anything other than mouthpieces for their affiliate owners in Black Rock and Vanguard.”
Brand recalled his own past MSNBC appearance, which he was pretty sure was on Morning Joe, trashing it as “propagandist nut-crackery.”
