This is tyranny. I am no fan of Ronna McDaniel. She was an abject failure as RNC chair, but that is hardly the point. It reflects the ruin of the free press in America. There is only one party, one perspective in the Democrat media axis. We do not have a free press which is why the nation is failing. How do people still trust or watch media?
McDaniel’s hiring simply could not stand with the elite of MSNBC like Chuck Todd, Joe Scarborough and Nicolle Wallace (all former political operatives) as they issued on-air apologies over NBC management to hire someone so closely attuned to a political party they don’t belong to.
Jen Psaki would like a word. While she was sitting White House press secretary, she signed a lucrative on-air contributor deal with MSNBC, NBC News and NBC’s Peacock streaming service. It was unprecedented — a sitting White House press secretary taking questions from her contractual colleagues was a clear violation of ethical conduct between a supposedly independent press and the White House they are meant to be covering.
There was no hand-wringing. There was no public uproar. There were no on-air apologies or brow beatings. Jen Psaki was welcomed at NBC with open arms — and zero hint of hypocrisy.
Likewise, MSNBC played a major part in rehabbing the reputation of controversial race-baiter Al Sharpton, even rewarding him with own show to host. Once again, not a peep.
By Monday, the zone had been flooded with commentary from others at the cool kids’ media table. Self-appointed media finger-wagger Margaret Sullivan caterwauled over at the Guardian, writing, “Can NBC News recover from its damaging decision to hire Ronna McDaniel?” She went on to say that. “Hiring McDaniel — a powerful election denialist who joined then president Donald Trump in pressuring voting officials not to certify the 2020 election — was like putting a standing chyron on the NBC Nightly News: ‘Lying is rewarded here.’”
If election denial is the new on-air standard at NBC, then a lot of people should be fearing for their jobs, including Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, Joy Reid and others. And if hiring political operatives is now beyond the pale for networks, then I have a long list of those who should be immediately dismissed, including Chuck Todd himself (as a campaign aide to Democratic senator Tom Harkin), Nicolle Wallace (former Bush administration communications director), Jake Tapper (campaign press secretary for Democratic congressional candidate Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky), ABC News chief political director George Stephanopoulos (President Bill Clinton) and obviously Jen Psaki.
No one’s hands are clean in any of this — and they all know it. These mainstream media morale-boosting performances are simply meant to obfuscate that fact. This is simply about who is allowed to sit at the table, and who is not. Remember the blow-up over Republican senator Tom Cotton being allowed to publish an op-ed in the New York Times?

NBC’s ousting of Ronna McDaniel reinforces status as anti-Trump, pro-Biden network
Rachel Maddow, Chuck Todd led the revolt against NBC bosses over hiring the ex-RNC chair
By Joseph A. Wulfsohn, Fox News, March 27, 2024:
MSNBC, NBC hosts and guests slam their own network over Ronna McDaniel hiring
Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, Chuck Todd and others are furious with NBC News for bringing on the ex-RNC chair as a paid contributor.
NBC News’ dramatic decision to hire and then immediately fire former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel in the span of five days shows just how far left the media juggernaut has drifted in recent years, particularly as the 2024 presidential election steadily approaches.
On Friday, the network announced McDaniel would be joining the Peacock family as a political analyst across all NBC platforms, including its far-left sister network MSNBC. That opened the floodgates of on-air backlash from the company’s biggest liberal stars, including Rachel Maddow.
“This seems to me to be an example of the hermetically-sealed bubble in which these people on the left live because they simply can’t see it from the other side,” Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume reacted on Monday’s “Special Report.”

NBCUniversial News Group Chairman Cesar Conde sent a memo to staff Tuesday announcing McDaniel was no longer with the network.
“I want to personally apologize to our team members who felt we let them down,” Conde wrote in the memo. “While this was a collective recommendation by some members of our leadership team, I approved it and take full responsibility for it.”

Everything that could be bought and used against us has been bought and used against us. The MSM was bought a long time ago. News, music, movies, documentaries, academia and all their experts, internet search engines and platforms…..a team of diabolical programmers. The enemy murdering us on our own soil, and around the globe, uses that big forked tongue to murder us and convince us to murder each other.
We have to stop trusting them. A f**** idiot will close the door to his house, so why do we accept the idea that we should hold the door to our country open? I could fill this page with more deadly examples of exploited trust.
We don’t have a free country. We haven’t had a free country for a day in my lifetime. We’re getting a big whiff of that reality. We didn’t get here in one administration or even in 50 years.
Nope! they screwed her—fair & square… It was scripted like this b4 the offer was even made—the only one who, didn’t see the script was Ca-Rona! Rinos shud know this is ure payback—from ure D
“friends!” ROR! Traitors!
Wrong. All planned. McTraitor will now reap huge rewards for helping destroy the GOP. She gets her pittance of a salary without having to work and will receive millions in defamation suits. A huge windfall for a disgusting POS.
yes, has become a classic dysfunctional relationship feeding off each other; should change the logos of each party: a donkey or elephant standing under a gaslight
Spot on. NBC just handed McTraitor her pittance of a salary plus millions in defamation law suits. A huge windfall to reward all her efforts to destroy the GOP.
Amen to that. Here in the UK it started in 1948 with the arrival of the good ship Windrush.

You would think NBC would be happy with a RINO which is much better than Jessica on the Five or Weiner on 710. At least they have these scumbags on.

These are of one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast.

It’s enough to make you wonder if this entire NBC fiasco was just a purposeful laundering of money for previous services rendered.
Instead of going the book deal route, McDaniel gets hired by NBC then fired without cause a few days later.
Cha-ching, $600k, and NBC gets all the eyeballs and clicks that go with the hot mess story.
Intentional?
You decide. _ CTH
Plus McTraitor gets to sue all the talking heads at NBC for millions for defamation. Gets her reward with no work. Typical of today’s democrat.

“Election Denier” seems to be a term the Warped Left loves; so an (R) commercial of all the D-Rats deniers from Al Gore on = solid minute of’em to shame D-Rats use of the term as total hypocrites…!

…shouldn’t have set herself up in the first place. Like a dumb fisherman walking out onto thin ice in the winter–she would have set herself up to constant malignment, ridicule and statements taken out of context, all for a paycheck…why am I not surprised???

McDaniel is/was a fool to think she would be accepted by the MSM/leftists.
