NBC 'drops' former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel as paid contributor less than a week after role was announced
UK Daily Mail ^ | 26 March 2024 | WILL POTTER

Fury at McDaniel's hiring reportedly began behind closed doors, with top contributors taking offense to not being asked their opinions beforehand.

On Sunday, two days after McDaniel's new role was announced, this spilled over into Todd's hosting of his show Meet the Press as he launched into a scathing takedown of his bosses.

Todd told his successor Kristen Welker that NBC executives had put her in an 'impossible situation' by having her interview McDaniel on her first appearance.

'Let me deal with the elephant in the room,' Todd said. 'I think our bosses owe you an apology for putting you in this situation, because I don't know what to believe.'

When McDaniel appeared with Welker for the first time as an employee of the network, she seemed intent on distancing herself from her past rhetoric.

Political analyst Chuck Todd slammed his bosses on the air and said they owed his colleague's an 'apology'

NBC News is already planning to drop ex-RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel as a contributor following backlash from inside the network, reports claim.

The former top Republican is set to be gone within a week of her hiring, and has responded by seeking legal representation, Puck News says.

It comes after the network's top political analyst Chuck Todd erupted into an on-air rant about McDaniel's hiring, particularly taking issue with her support for Donald Trump's false 2020 election fraud claims.

Todd's meltdown was quickly followed by other liberal media stars, with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow describing the hiring as 'inexplicable' and said she hoped bosses would 'reconsider that decision.'

Yet Stephanopolis continues to propagandize daily on another ‘major’ network.

One would think that there is some financial payout for her per the signed contract. Good for her. I’d rather she have it than those cretins at NBC. Beyond that perhaps she’ll assimilate the lesson of what happens when one lies with dogs. Probably not, though

Todd said. 'I think our bosses owe you an apology for putting you in this situation, because I don't know what to believe.'

If you want to believe the truth, Todd, see my Tagline.

So many of these people in MSM are truly depraved, intolerant and insular people. The demise of the MSM cannot come soon enough.

What more proof is needed that this is a pure propaganda network for the Democrat party.

Ronna: I coulda been a star. I coulda been somebody. A contender. Not a nobody which is what I am.

Apologies to On the Waterfront Marlon Brando scene.

She’s way too stupid to work that thru a contract. Thought everybody on the left would love her, in her new career bashing Republicans. And that fiction was enough not to worry about contract terms

The effect these crazies have, though, is important. It is part and parcel of the DOJ attack on Trump administration officials, Trump campaign officials, and Trump supporters.

Not only may you go to federal prison if you help Trump, you will never work in a Ruling Class company again, even if you are just a liberal plant inside the Trump organization.

NBC’s excision of Ronna is surprising though as I expected her to become their star conservative who hates all things conservative.

“Can’t have an opposing view.”

Except her view isn’t opposing; she 100% on board with the MSM critters. Said Biden won “fair and square”, and that he’s “legitimate”.

Everybody hates Ronna.
