Josh Earnest proves that it pays to be a left wing propaganda minister. NBC has rolled out the red carpet (and big salary) in hiring former Obama press hack Josh Earnest. No one should be surprised.

Former White House press secretary Josh Earnest has a new job, NBC News announced Monday.
The peacock network’s “Today” show introduced Earnest as a “political analyst” for both NBC News and MSNBC. Earnest served as former President Barack Obama’s third press secretary, after Robert Gibbs and Jay Carney.
Co-host Savannah Guthrie joked while welcoming Earnest, “Now you have to wear your analyst hat, not your Democrat hat.”
Earnest’s first opportunity came moments later when Guthrie and co-host Matt Lauer quizzed him over the Republicans’ failure to repeal and replace Obamacare with the American Health Care Act.
“This is so unfair to do to you on your first day,” Lauer quipped at one point.
