One of MSNBC’s favorite guests throughout 2018, celebrity attorney Michael Avenatti, was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison last week for attempting to extort $25 million from Nike, but you wouldn’t know much about it if you watched MSNBC.
With all the media attention the network showered upon Avenatti when he was a favorite liberal attack on former President Donald Trump, the fact that he is heading to prison seems newsworthy, but of course these networks don’t want to highlight the fact that they backed a criminal in their pursuit of destroying Trump. As Fox News reported, MSNBC devoted less than 2 minutes to Avenatti’s sentencing, after inviting him on as a guest more than 100 times.
