Re: Ronna McDaniel Hired by MSNBC Outrage

Is there really anything to be gained by muzzling these people? Let her talk -- I'm fully capable of deciding for myself how much of an idiot, insurrectionist or just plain old crook she is.

"Get outside your bubble" is good advice for people on either end of the political spectrum.

Real journalists don't like working with a hand maiden for fascism who knowingly spreading election lies and participated in the fake electors scheme. I could see Fox News or NewsMax hiring her as they too deliberately spread election lies and lie to their audiences daily. NBC doesn't want that reputation.

I'll bite....


So you would give a platform to let us say for the sake of argument. Give a platform to a person who advocated supported facilitated a takeover of the country. Without any proof still to base their arguments with. Continues to this day even after violence occurred, never stooped and actively continuing.

I liken this to giving Osama bin or Putin a slot in prime time daily to spew lies and hate filled disinformation to confuse the masses.....

What the FK was MSMBC thinking......
Where they trying to play both sides in case Trump wins? Hoping it would help keep them on the air next year....

And now the classless Trumpette is looking for "legal options".
NBC should have included a probationary clause in her contract.

I'd be willing to bet that there was some CYA somewhere in the contract.

You can't platform known liars and claim to be in the journalism business. The profession has ethical standards. I know a fair bit of cheating and trickery happens, but even so, if you are too out there with it, it can't stand.

Those seeking employment at the Republican National Committee after a Trump-backed purge of the committee this month have been asked in job interviews if they believe the 2020 election was stolen, according to people familiar with the interviews, making the false claim a litmus test of sorts for hiring.

People are going around saying the MSNBC brass made a 'mistake.' It wasn't a mistake, it was a deliberate effort by top network executives to 'normalize' the on-air presence of a MAGA liar at a mainstream media venue. Very widespread and strong opposition forced them to reverse this time. But it shows what they want, and who's side they are on. Keep in mind that fascists gain power, when they do, with the aid of top business leaders.
