Ronna McDaniel out at NBC

[Anonymous]

And now she comes out years later to finally tell the truth that Biden won fair and square? Years later and all is well. No.

Gotta say that I find this heartening in a way. Actual journalists and reporters took a stand and won. Part of this era that's been so jarring is the total failure of the media to just say what's going on - sugarcoating the word "lie" forever, lapping up every crazy thing Trump did, treating the GOP like everything was normal. This is a step back towards some semblance of sanity.

They have actual journalists and reporters at NBC and MSNBC? No, just folks dedicated to the party line. Poor Ronna would have been in for a tough ride but the inmates got their way.

+100
This is the same network that promoted the Russian hoax for over 3 years.
And, now they scream "iNteGriTy?"

The reality is that their audience doesn't want to hear any opposing views. And, the hosts want to make sure they don't.

Delusional much?

The audience is not interested in an opposing view that Biden did not win the election without a shred of credible evidence to back it up. If you want to listen to that nonsense, don't watch NBC.

MSNBC is an arm of the DNC. Can't have anyone who does not parrot the party line appearing.

You mean just like Fox News carrying water for Trump?

You can dislike the ideology of certain reporters, but don’t tell me that Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews don’t research and report facts. I have listened to their podcasts and watched their shows. They know their stuff. The 30 minute piece Rachel did Monday was based on the research she did for her podcast and book on the Nazi propaganda in the 30s that led to trials for government officials.

Agree. You can disagree with her opinions all day and night but she going on there and claiming that Biden won the election for 3 years and then changing her statements about that to get a pay off.

She is not going on and saying Biden won when he did not.*

I honestly don’t know what NBC was thinking with this hire in the first place. Why did they put themselves in this spot? Sheer stupidity. They had to know that their heavy hitter on air talent was going to revolt like this.

The dumb part about it isn't that she's a known liar who promoted the big lie - it's that she's not a credible mouthpiece to even represent R points of view now. Who's still talking to her? Who still respects her on either side? What's she supposed to add here?

That said, I have to say I am kind of baffled about why she's the one that people got so upset about. I guess it was the timing and the salary, but - don't they have election deniers on their shows every day? Who else are they supposed to have on to represent the R point of view or give insight into what's going on on the R side of things?

Having an election denier guest is different than having an election denier correspondent. But she is not even an election denier anymore. Forget her NBC. Find a conservative correspondent that can earn some respect from your viewers.

Oh yes, because Chuck Todd are Kristin Welker are just so credible shilling for the DNC, and aren't known liars.

They were probably thinking they wanted to lure in more conservative leaning female suburbanites.

Ok. So if you think those correspondents are liars you surely don't want to see them on whatever news programs you watch. MSNBC viewers feel the same way about ronna McDaniel.

Access. Ronna would have still had access to the Trump campaign and the RNC, and it would have been beneficial for the Trump campaign and the RNC as well. They could pretend that it was an arm's length relationship and that Ronna was just reporting the news from a conservative viewpoint.

This was a fascinating total misread of the room by the powers that be at NBC.

They can get actual conservatives then. They already have people like Nicole Wallace and Michael Steele. But platforming someone who may actually be complicit in the Trump coup is not the right solution.
Conervatives are not MAGA. Platform conservatives who also love this country, not MAGA who want a dictator.
