How long before she is out there whining about cancel culture?

BREAKING: NBC News Cuts Ties With Ronna McDaniel After Days of Internal Revolt. Everyone should be proud. WE Made this happen. We must continue to pressure the corporate media to impact the content to ensure there is NO normalization of those involved in Trump's coup or his Jan 6 terrorist attack. The stakes are too high to be silent! https://www.mediaite.com/media/breaking-nbc-news-cuts-ties-with-ronna-mcdaniel-after-days-of-internal-revolt/

It’s good to see ordinary Americans protesting the hiring of a woman who lied and committed crimes to keep her favored candidate in an office he had not earned. The election was almost stolen by the far right thugs who support a criminal for their leader. She is just one more GOP operative trying to push tfg’s agenda.

MSM enabling MAGA criminality & depravity...https://x.com/Liz_Cheney/status/1771916401726705757?s=20

I’d prefer that NBC just pay her for staying off the air, make it a “no show” job. That keeps her off the air elsewhere. If they buy out her contract, she’s free to appear on other networks. 🤔😉😊

If you lose Chuck Todd you are truly lost. Speaking even more volumes about how fucked up the corporate media is, especially at NBC, is the fact that Welker went ahead with the interview. It shows how totally useless she is and what a downgrade she is at MTP, and it's tough to be a downgrade after Chuck Todd. That all said, while Scarborough is a loudmouth sack of Reaganite shit, he has outsized power at MSNBC and I think you are right, Ronna will either get a no-show job or a buyout.

Seriously. Why would NBC heads think putting on a lying, hypocritical Maga like Ronna would endear their viewers ?

It’s an insult.

We aren’t idiots blithely consuming their content.

We aren’t Magas. 🙄

Heads should roll.

Republican hires on NBC or MSNBC --

Nicole Wallace: not an election denier

Joe Scarborough: not an election denier

Mark Short: not an election denier

Steve Schmidt: not an election denier

Michael Steele: not an election denier

Ronna McDaniel: election denier

One of these things is not like the others... Even the awful Megyn Kelly (no longer with MSNBC but hired by them after her departure from Fox "News") was at least not an election denier.

If she needs a bloody job and a home, she can move into the Polo Grounds Towers at 8th Avenue and 155th Street, and work as a cashier in a nearby supermarket.

That'll end her support of the Republican Party and the Bloated Yam in a matter of days, if not hours.

Retaining McDaniel in the first place is blatantly accepting the legitimacy of #RepubloFascism as a replacement for democracy. Her role on air would simply be to promote propaganda. Any claiming of her as a credible journalist is ludicrous.

NBC hiring Ronna McDaniel is tantamount to Fox “News” hiring Liz Cheney. That most certainly would never happen. What the hell were they thinking?? Increasing revenue??? What they got was thousands, perhaps millions of lost viewers. I hope they learned their lesson.

Excellent post, Dean. I spent the entire weekend yammering on this topic, calling for Boycott of all MSNBC media & their Advertisers, until Management pulls their heads out their hind parts & get RM off air. As a confessed listener/watcher of 6-10 hrs per day, this Detox/weaning process off my fave network has been brutal..but necessary! And, in an Election year? Helluva betrayal!

I would pay anything to watch RonT be interviewed and torn apart by Rachel Maddow. after such an interview, I think NBC would have to “reconsider “it’s disastrous decision to hire her.

If you're into streaming, don't forget to cancel or never enable Peacock, another NBC revenue source.

I'm gratified to see that the response by the MSNBC network has been strong, and hosts are also speaking out against the outrageous Ronna McDaniel hire. This decision by NBC News is as anti-democracy and anti-American as Speaker Johnson's dumbass need to undermine Ukraine.
