After Democrat operative and Husky Huckster Chuck Todd, adulterers Joe and Mica, and ugly cashew-headed lesbian Rachel Maddow demanded that NBC declare itself to be dedicated to 100% ideological conformity, NBC has decided to break its contract with Ronna McDaniel.
NBC News plans to drop former Republican National Committee boss Ronna McDaniel as a paid contributor after network stars including MSNBC prime time headliner Rachel Maddow and the co-hosts of "Morning Joe" blasted the decision to bring the Trump-backing politico on board.
The network has not made an announcement, but one is pending, according to Puck News. The Post has sought comment from NBC and McDaniel.
McDaniel is reportedly looking to hire a lawyer, according to Puck News.
I'll bet she is.
Little hint: Move out of whatever blue district you're in and file in a red jurisdiction.
Maddow, MSNBC's most bankable name, said on her Monday show that hiring McDaniel was "inexplicable" and demanded that executives "reverse their decision."
...
Maddow went on to bash McDaniel as "someone who hasn't just attacked us as journalists, but someone who is part of an ongoing project to get rid of our system of government."
"You wouldn't hire a made man like a mobster to work at a DA's office, right? You wouldn't hire a pick-pocket to work as a TSA screener," Maddow concluded.
What do you think? Post a comment.
Earlier on Monday, Joe Scarborough and his wife, Mika Brzezinski, who co-host MSNBC's "Morning Joe," pledged on the air that they would not invite McDaniel to their program, calling her an "anti-democracy election denier."
Joe Scarborough, a first-rate scumbag, then attempted to #cancel Ronna McDaniel like Kathleen Kennedy cancelled Gina Carano. They're attempting to make her radioactive and unemployable at any company.
Moments ago, JOE SCARBOROUGH and MIKA BRZEZINSKI became the latest voices at NBCUniversal News Group to criticize their company's hiring of former RNC chair RONNA McDANIEL as a paid contributor.
"We weren't asked our opinion of the hiring but, if we were, we would have strongly objected to it for several reasons," Scarborough said at the top of "Morning Joe," with Brzezinski adding, "We hope NBC will reconsider its decision. It goes without saying that she will not be a guest on 'Morning Joe' in her capacity as a paid contributor." They then played a reel of McDaniel's various comments questioning the outcome of the 2020 election.
MSNBC is the network that alleged for eight or nine years straight that Donald Trump was a paid agent of Vladimir Putin and that the KGB rigged the 2016 election.
I know you know that. Just wanted to underline it.
Their comments come a day after CHUCK TODD pilloried NBC executives moments after McDaniel's first network appearance, an interview with KRISTEN WELKER on "Meet the Press."
"I think our bosses owe you an apology for putting you in this situation," Todd told Welker. "There's a reason why there's a lot of journalists at NBC News uncomfortable with this, because many of our professional dealings with the RNC over the last six years have been met with gaslighting, have been met with character assassination."
Other NBC and MSNBC hosts and contributors will undoubtedly now be under pressure to speak their minds as well. MSNBC's prime-time lineup tonight will be worth watching.
Will it though?
Well actually I guess it was.
Black Conservative Perspective cut video of the Adulterers and the Harry Potter Cosplayer. The adulterers went on the air to cancel someone who had never done them any harm, and then the angry lesbian accused her of plotting to "end our system of government."
Politico presents this all as just and necessary:
These on-air protests may be a seminal moment in political media as news organizations continue to grapple with how to responsibly represent voices from the Trump right on their screens and in their pages without handing their platforms over to election deniers or bad faith actors who have attacked and attempted to discredit their own reporters.
You see, reporters can attack the credibility of leaders on the right, but leaders on the right may not attack the credibility of "journalists."
It's not hypocrisy. It's hierarchy.
Politico reports that Chuck Todd is the Real Victim Here:
Todd's outburst [Sunday] that crystallized the turmoil. It was in some ways the culmination of years of frustrations, laid bare by the guy who had lived through all of it.
Todd spent a decade in the MTP chair and suffered so much vitriol from anti-media attacks -- on both the right and the left -- that NBC regularly hired private security for him. There was internal criticism, too: By the end of his tenure, the show was being excessively micromanaged by executives, and he'd had clashes throughout with colleagues at MSNBC as he did much of the frustrating work trying to distinguish the non-ideological NBC News from its ideological cable cousin. But he won over that crowd yesterday.
LOL, "non-ideological NBC News."
