Maddow, the top rated personality at the network, is the latest NBCU personality to publicly call out news division leadership over the decision, an unusual moment where internal drama has played out on the airwaves.
She also noted that MSNBC leadership initially “did not object to Ronna McDaniel to not being hired by NBC New when the matter first arose.” She said that when the hiring was announced and “MSNBC staff essentially, unanimously and instantly expressed outrage, our leadership at MSNBC heard us, understood, and adjusted course.”
Maddow said that they were told over the weekend “in clear terms, ‘Ronna McDaniel will not appear on our air. Ronna McDaniel will not be on MSNBC.’ I give you that level of detail because there has been an effort since by other parts of the company to muddy that up in the press and make it seem like that’s not what happened at MSNBC. I can assure you that is what happened at MSNBC. Ronna McDaniel will not appear on MSNBC, so says our boss since Saturday, and it has never been anything other than clear.”
And yet the media blowhards have NO issue with hiring other Democrat politicians and administration figures:
Stephanopolous, Tapper, Psaki, Todd, and the list goes on. All truly died in the wool political partisan hacks coming from the politicians directly into the media side without a discouraging word.
Only an issue if they go against the accepted mantra.
…but they won’t put her on the air. If she wants to pspou lies and didinformation, she needs to go to FOX, or InfoWars, or OAN, or NewsMax, or … do like comrade Tucker, and screech her anti-American propaganda on Russian TV.
I reckon the EVP who made the decision to hire a creepy MAGA sycophant will share a park bench with the guys who pushed for the New Coke, Cheetos Lip Balm, Zune, Buy Buy Baby, FTX Crypto, the platform that used to be called Twitter…
The issue was rewarding a person who, while in a position of authority, lied steadily to our nation for years and years. She lied to the point of supporting the overthrow of a free and fair election! Someone like that shouldn’t be rewarded, period!

Maybe if they don’t like the decision, they should quit.
No one would miss them.

In the 30 Rock middle management meeting room:
“So a Ronald McDonald impersonator! OK, great job guys and now our CEO can tell the shareholders how much money has been saved.
Just be sure that she knows to do her election denier act every time the camera is on her.
And that Matt Lauer can honk her any time and as often as he wants. Her nose only so we don’t have more lawsuits.”

Ronna Romney McDaniel used to be her name.
Somehow her maiden name disappeared when she became RNC head.
.
Just a coincidence, though.
