2. wow. I thought journalists only got fired for covering Democrats fairly.

13. Journalists? At NBC?

3. Hmm...

... did not know he worked for NBC - though he was just a frequent guest. Maybe he will go to FOX.

A senior national political reporter at NBC News decided, for some reason, to share his delight at evicting a tenant in a series of mocking Instagram stories on Tuesday, according to a report. Marc Caputo uploaded screen-recordings of texts sent between himself, a property manager, and the tenant occupying a house owned by Caputo in Key West, Defector claims.

Politics reporter Marc Caputo announced on Tuesday that he is leaving his job at NBC News. This sudden career change comes one week after Caputo spent a day chronicling on Instagram his recent eviction of a tenant renting a home Caputo owns in Key West, through screenshots of text conversations with the tenant and property manager.

Marc Caputo @MarcACaputo

I’m leaving NBC News and looking forward to the next chapter of my reporting.

I’ll keep y’all posted

I really will miss some wonderful colleagues and the scoops I scooped with them, this being the last under the Peacock banner

Caputo joked in his Instagram posts about airing the eviction on live television, repeatedly called the tenant a "junkie," and made history's least appropriate reference to Mao Zedong. He also responded to the property manager's sympathy for the tenant by saying that he hopes the tenant “enjoys the sex in prison.”

NBC News declined to comment last week on Caputo's posts and treatment of his tenant. When reached by phone today, an NBC spokesperson would not comment on the record about the details of Caputo's departure. A phone number Defector used to reach Caputo last week now appears to be disconnected, and a voicemail left at a different number was not returned before publication...

14. Consequences! Nothing will change without real consequences for criminal behavior.

We seem to be moving in the right direction.

15. So glad he's keeping "y'all posted".

That and Pence's "prayerful consideration " about a run for Pres. are 2 of the more nauseating things I've heard today, the latter moreso . Mike Pence - the Dominionist Uriah Heep.
