Freedman\u2019s resume includes representing Megyn Kelly against NBC, Tucker Carlson against Fox News, and Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon against CNN.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">McDaniel expects from NBC she will be paid out the full $600,000 that her two-year contract had been worth, but part of McDaniel\u2019s discussion with Freedman was about her options to sue for damages as well. The former RNC head is exploring legal action for defamation and a hostile work environment, according to POLITICO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NBCUniversal News Group Chair Cesar Conde <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/msnbc-president-recruited-ronna-mcdaniel-before-nbc-booted-former-rnc-head-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">announced<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that NBC News and its sister network, MSNBC, were cutting ties with McDaniel on Tuesday after days of internal backlash, some of which played out publicly on the networks themselves. The public backlash began with Chuck Todd, NBC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/opinion-the-american-media-has-spread-russian-propaganda-more-effectively-than-russia-itself\/\" title=\"OPINION: The American Media Has Spread Russian Propaganda More Effectively Than Russia Itself\">chief political analyst<\/a> and former moderator of \u201cMeet the Press.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Todd appeared on his old show, now hosted by Kristen Welker, and expressed angst over an interview Welker had conducted with McDaniel. The interview was booked while McDaniel had still been head of the RNC, but took place after she was announced as an NBC contributor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cYou got put into an impossible situation, booking this interview, and then all of a sudden the rug was pulled out from under you, and you find out she\u2019s being paid to show up?\u201d Todd said on Sunday. \u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate for this program, but I am glad you did the best that you could.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After days of hosts on the networks bashing the decision to hire McDaniels on air, Conde sent a memo to employees announcing that McDaniel would not be appearing on either network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cNo organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned. Over the last few days, it has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal,\u201d Conde wrote. \u201cI want to personally apologize to our team members who felt we let them down.
