Hosts \u200cand anchors\u200c at NBC and MSNBC were instrumental in this decision, with\u2062 their vocal objections leading to McDaniel&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/san-jose-places-evander-kane-on-unconditional-waivers-intends-to-terminate-contract-for-second-covid-19-violation\/\" title=\"San Jose Places Evander Kane on Unconditional Waivers, Intends To Terminate Contract For Second COVID-19 Violation\">contract termination<\/a>. The dramatic turn of events unfolded on air, culminating in McDaniel&#8217;s brief stint \u2064as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/liz-cheney-ousted-from-republican-leadership-role\/\" title=\"Liz Cheney Ousted From Republican Leadership Role\">paid contributor<\/a> on &#8220;Meet the \u2062Press.&#8221; NBC News hired and quickly released Ronna McDaniel, the former Republican National Committee\u2062 Chairwoman, within a week. Hosts and anchors at NBC and MSNBC played a significant role in her contract termination due to \u2063their objections.

Their on-air tantrums over McDaniel\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/03\/25\/nbc-journos-melt-down-over-network-hiring-former-rnc-chair-ronna-mcdaniel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ephemeral employment<\/a> are why she\u2019s now out of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/03\/25\/nbc-ronna-mcdaniel-chuck-todd-00148772\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$300,000 co<\/a>ntract and now they get to spend another 48 hours patting each other on the back for having once again fought off fascism.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s seriously how they think this ridiculous affair played out.<\/p>\n<p>For non-NBC watchers (virtually everyone reading this), McDaniel\u2019s contributor status was announced Friday and she made her first appearance as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/larry-oconnor-stop-believing-the-republicans-are-blowing-the-midterms-propaganda\/\" title=\"Larry O\u2019Connor: Stop Believing the \u201cRepublicans Are Blowing the Midterms\u201d Propaganda\">paid talking head<\/a> on Sunday\u2019s edition of \u201cMeet the Press,\u201d where she sat for a 20-minute slog of an interview with host Kristen Welker. It was a predictable segment with Welker prodding McDaniel to either defend or disavow anything she ever said as chairwoman of the RNC during Donald Trump\u2019s tenure as president. But afterward, Chuck Todd, the show\u2019s former moderator, took it upon himself to defend Welker\u2019s honor. (Nothing like a Democrat white man assuming his role as a black person\u2019s savior.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think our bosses owe you an apology for putting you in this situation,\u201d he said to Welker, as though she had just been asked to clean the toilets, rather than conduct an interview on a still-somewhat prestigious newscast. Thereafter on MSNBC, Joe Brzezinski Scarborough, Joy Reid, Jen Psaki, and Rachel Maddow took turns registering their own distaste with their new colleague, declaring McDaniel would never be allowed on their shows (which is a little like being banned from the Golden Corral\u2014\u00a0<em>wait, no, please, I\u2019ll be good, I swear\u2026<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>And they say what\u2019s happening in <em>Gaza<\/em> is disproportionate.<\/p>\n<p>The seething and nagging over such a banal personnel change was truly awe-inspiring. Political operatives and officials frequently come and go as paid TV news contributors. One of MSNBC\u2019s most precious hosts, Nicolle Wallace, spun communications for the Bush White House to justify America\u2019s grotesque nosedive into the Iraq War. Nobody else at NBC or otherwise comes even close to being so scandalous of a hire.<\/p>\n<p>Least of all Ronna McDaniel, who is neither loved nor hated by substantial numbers of anybody in the Republican Party. Pro-Trump people don\u2019t care about her. Nikki Haley voters don\u2019t care about her. If there were any legitimate question about her employment, it would be what exactly NBC had to gain from it. I can\u2019t think of anything. Fortunately for them, they\u2019ll also lose nothing without her.<\/p>\n<hr><\/div>\n<div data-image data-amount=\"5\">\n<h2>Popular<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\"><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\"><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\"><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\"><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\"><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NBC News gained nothing by hiring Ronna McDaniel, former Republican National Committee Chairwoman, and lost nothing by reportedly firing her less than a week later.
