[See NewsBusters for more.] On her Twitter bio, NBC's Jane Timm describes herself as a "Senior reporter telling stories about voting rights." With such an activist description of herself, it was fitting that she joined Hallie Jackson Reports on MSNBC on Friday to question if corporations care about "voting rights." After all they are still giving money to Republicans.
After congratulating Timm for some "great reporting" on Michigan's redistricting process, Jackson changed gears, "Also great reporting is that voting rights stuff we talked about. Break it down, right? Big companies, like I think Amazon is part of it, Facebook, that donated to Republican senators even though they signed this Business for Voting Rights letter. What else do we know?"
