Did I miss the DU threads about Alex Wagner resigning from MSNBC?

[Atman]

I searched and found a few threads about MSNBC "messing up" her show. But I just found out from Facebook, of all places, that she resigned because she was tired of supporting "the dictator" Obama. Seriously? I thought she was smart. It it true? I canceled cable a couple of months ago, so I haven't seen any live tv show since.

What's the deal? Is Wagner actually just a nut-bag? Obama is a "dictator?" Wow.

Satire site National Report posted a hoax piece about MSNBC anchor Alex Wagner resigning, saying,

In a resignation letter obtained by National Report, Wagner claims she has been spreading “lies on behalf of Obama” and using her position with MSNBC to “falsely promote a brutal dictator.”

Wagner goes on to say, “I have spent my entire professional career working toward a position based on false pretenses. I have worked hard to obtain a position with a major news network and expected to be reporting on serious issues. Instead, I am handed Pro-Obama scripts and asked to be a mouthpiece for the administration.”

3. nooooooooo!

She's smart as a whip. The brightest star on MSNBC, next to Ari Berman.

Let's look for something more objective than a FB post.

4. She's like, engaged to Obama's personal chef...a progressive, would repeal the second amendment

no less. Her show seems to be intact and she's Tweeted from that account this morning. I think you have been fed a line of utter horseshit.

6. Thanks.

Someone tried to feed it to me, doesn't mean I ate it. That's why I asked. I couldn't imaging this could happen without it being all over DU, but I couldn't find another confirmation or denial.

That's why I asked "did I miss it?" I couldn't believe it wouldn't be a hot topic on DU.
