MSNBC has rehired Sam Seder, whom the network fired after a right-wing smear campaign
It all started with a deleted tweet from 2009 that seemed intentionally taken out of context.
A lot of prominent men in media have been getting themselves fired lately. In the case of MSNBC’s Sam Seder, however, it was a mistake. The network has now admitted as much, and reversed the decision, according to The Intercept. The initial firing was instigated by Pizzagate conspiracy theorist and noted rape apologist Mike Cernovich, who waged a bad faith smear campaign against Seder. Cernovich pointed to a 2009 Seder tweet mocking Hollywood’s many Roman Polanski defenders.
