A news producer with MSNBC has been caught on camera candidly admitting the liberal mainstream news network is doing all it can to boost the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris in the election’s final weeks.

The Gateway Pundit reported about a classic sting by undercover conservative journalist James O’Keefe in which Basel Hamdan, a writer and producer for the network, tells someone off-screen that he and his colleagues are “doing all they can” to elect Kamala Harris. In doing so, Hamdan added, they have made viewers “dumber over the years.” For nearly 12 minutes, Hamdan is seen from the vantage point of a camera placed inconspicuously on a table where he and his guest are seen sipping red wine and opining on the state of today’s liberal media landscape.

“What have they done to help the Harris campaign?” a woman can be heard asking Hamdan in the video. “Amplify her message. What her message of the day, is their message of the day,” he replies. Pressed on whether MSNBC is “doing whatever it takes” to defeat former President Donald Trump, Hamdan agrees. Their coverage “hammers home the point I’m making that this news network is indistinguishable from the [Democratic] Party.”

“Is MSNBC just the Democratic Party’s mouthpiece?” asks the woman, to which Hamdan raises his hands, beams a smile, and exclaims, “Exactly!” In the clip, he gossips about vitriolic feedback the “Ayman Mohyeldin Reports” team receives if guests fall out of line and criticize other guests or Democrats in general. “Viewers get mad at the guests or the hosts if the hosts were to criticize Democrats.” Not all the simplification of a liberal worldview is helpful to the cause, he explains. “I think brainwashing and dumbing down progressives helps Trump,” he admits about his job.Cable news viewers may not be all that surprised to learn that MSNBC’s strategy for ratings is synergistic with the Democratic Party’s appeals to voters. However, Hamdan goes on, both the network and progressives would be better served if MSNBC laid off the Kool-Aid and let viewers think more for themselves. “Their problem, and I think they would have a bigger audience, is if they were less tied to the Democratic Party. They should be progressive. They should tell the truth from a progressive perspective, but they shouldn’t be tied to a political party.”

O’Keefe, the former leader of Project Veritas who made a name for himself with sting journalism, has had a number of notable successes this year. In August his undercover discussion with a Democratic fundraiser led a state attorney general to launch an inquiry into ActBlue, the Democratic Party’s main platform for online fundraising. In a cold dish of revenge, Project Veritas shut its door just months after ousting O’Keefe as its longtime director. Viral hits like his video with Hamdan show the internet has a clear appetite for hearing unvarnished opinions from liberals who have the chance to speak about their ulterior motives surreptitiously.
