Earth 2 coming to Earth 1, c/o Trump-ousted RNC chair, who is an election denier, and denigrator of NBC reporters, including correspondent Richard Engel.

Why? I don’t watch msnbc much but I’m sure I would change the channel as soon as she came on, just like I do when Scott Jennings or Alice Stewart come on cnn.

I was really shocked when I heard this yesterday. It's like when CBS hired Mick Mulvaney (not sure if he is still around).
I am NOT OK if she is an interviewer or moderator. I'm NOT OK if she is paired with a weak sauce host like Kristen Welker (see recent interview with Elise Stephanik.)
I am somewhat OK if she shares the inside scoop on the Trumps and MAGAs. I am also OK if she suffers factchecks and beatdowns from Maddow, Melber, Scarborough, and other more vociferous MSNBC hosts.

May have to change my viewing. I turn MSNBC off when charlatan sharpton is on, I remember the Tawana Brawley mess. I leave CNN when Tobin shows up, public exposure...
It will make it easier to cut the cord!! Lots to think about here....

MSNBC is all fine and good having Al Sharpton, the race baiting tax cheat and Brawly advisor, but that damn conservative Ronna is too much.
🙄🤣

I must have missed that. But as I said above - I don't watch TV news because they all spend more time trying to lure in viewers than they do actually reporting the news.

This is disgusting. I’m not an NBC watcher because frankly they are way too liberal for me. Now I’m glad I don’t watch. Let’s see if Rachel Maddow has the guts to say something.

They hired her after dumping some good people!! I do miss Mehdi Hasan! He asked some good stuff!! Not only did she participate in the fake electors in MI she offered them lawyers if they would sign!
"McDaniel lied about the 2020 election result, was involved in a pressure campaign to get Michigan officials not to certify the vote, and has accused MSNBC of 'spreading lies' and employing 'primetime propagandists,'" declared former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan, now editor-in-chief of Zeteo News.

I don't watch MSNBC, so I have no skin in this game. This seems like a good summary of the objections. Apologize for the profanity a fing game

Just checking--when I quoted you, above, your quote showed as dated June 25, 2014! Looking to see if this does, again. Does it show that way on your end? ETA: Now this one reads correctly that your quote was, "5 hours ago" (at 4:32 pm EDT).

Good riddance! But she will stay on the payroll getting a BIG pay check.. Wonder how much she will donate to her great leader?
The network is reportedly paying McDaniel a whopping $300,000 a year, despite recent layoffs. Meanwhile, McDaniel’s past tweets trashing the network continue to go viral across social media.

Well now... Another change? Or not? A bunch of comments including she's all just sit around. She'll be on NBC.. MSNBC reportedly has no plans to use Donald Trump's close ally, Ronna McDaniel, on its airwaves.*** But according to a new exclusive article from The Wall Street Journal, the president of MSNBC isn't interested in ever using her. www.rawstory.com/trump-mcdaniel-msnbc-no-plans/

MeidasTouch…. ”BREAKING: NBC News is taking half measures to try to mitigate damage caused by their hiring of Ronna McDaniel. Half measures AND both-sides-ism. You would think they had learned in 2016.

I have zero problem with conservatives who live in the real world, and who believe actual evidence (i.e. all of those court cases about election fraud that got nowhere.) But election denying means that she is either lying about the results, or that she is delusional. Either way, any commentary or opinions offered by her are suspect.

Fair & balanced is a good thing to aspire to in news media. But fair & bullshit is not.
McDaniels isn’t conservative, she’s from the fascist contingent. And with her record of complete & utter untruths & lies she is a waste of airtime since nothing she says can be believed.
Thats the whole problem MAGAts aren’t conservative, they do not hold to or adhere to any conservative principles. If at any point a conservative principle is in their way they will kick that to the curb just as fast as the liberal point of view. States rights? Only if it agrees with me. Individual freedom? Only if your just like me other wise no we get to tell you what to do. Religious freedom? Hell no Fiscal Conservatism? Nah we are going to puff up those billionaires at the expense of the lower classes. And if they did adhere in any way whatsoever to their own supposed conservative principles we’d have a new immigration bill negotiated by conservatives in place already. But Border security? Fuck no it’s an election year, we can’t fix the very thing we’ve been complaining about for 2 decades. Oh my heavens no. We have to fear monger. Thats an anti conservative move. If they had any adherence to their principles at all they would be able to govern but they don’t.
I have no problem with news programs presenting both a liberal and conservative point of view. But this isn’t that. There is no principle that McDaniels will hold true to no matter what. She will spew whatever is convenient that day be it truth or lie. And that’s bullshit.
It’s time that the media faces the fact that MAGAts aren’t conservatives & they provide no balance in any discussion.

So if she’s not going to be on air, does that make this deal something of a catch and kill? Pay her to NOT talk and spew her election denying lies?
