The Republican National Committee chair turned NBC politics analyst Ronna McDaniel “tried to disassemble our democracy” by supporting Donald Trump’s electoral fraud lies and should not be given such a media role, a leading historian said amid uproar over the appointment.
“What NBC has done is they’ve invited into what should be a normal framework someone who doesn’t believe that framework should exist at all,” Timothy Snyder, a Yale professor and author of On Tyranny, told MSNBC, part of the network now employing McDaniel.
I’m not surprised that a major news corporation would do something like this, but I admit I’m a little surprised it was NBC that did it.
Edit (t+19h):
Why? If there’s one thing coporate media always does its whore itself out for ratings by any means necessary.
NBC generally doesn’t hire full-throated Trump supporters. But in a broader sense, you’re not wrong.
Agree - NBC tended to be more professional than this bottom-feeding NüCNN stuff of hiring fox news to pretend to be informed thinkers.
Actually, just on typing that out I had to go look - they were also the ones who hired Megyn Kelly. so.
NBC you’ve already danced with this devil and it worked out about how anyone who wasn’t an idiot corporate news producer would have expected. Going for it again eh. Hey, it’s your legacy. Trash away.
