In a fast-moving story culminating in the shortest career ever at the NBC News Network, Ronna McDaniel is officially out as a political analyst at MSNBC. The inmates have taken over the asylum as the top echelon of the network has bent their knees, apologized to, and assuaged their celebrity talking heads who began their temper tantrums on air Sunday morning.
With each successive show, the former employees, now network executives, grew louder and bolder. Chuck Todd, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, Jen Psaki, Joy Reid, and Rachel Maddow all took their shots at management, condemning them for their lousy decision to hire McDaniel without consulting the rank and file. In reversing their decision because of internal condemnation, the leadership of the NBC / MSNBC network has been transferred to the hired help. TV on-air personalities have inflated egos and elevated personal value, but the camera angles must be adjusted to fit their enlarged heads on the screen.
Here are some of the quotes from Tuesday evening’s shows.
Rachel Maddow, “You wouldn’t hire a made man, like a mobster, to work in the DA’s office (chuckle).”
Jen Psaki, “Our Democracy is in danger because of the lies from people like Ronna McDaniel has pushed on the country.”
Chuck Todd, “She already has a credibility issue she must work through before facing the public.”
Keep in mind that these quotes are from people who pushed the Russian Conspiracy Theory, the dossier, the Trump phone call to Ukraine, denied the existence of the Biden laptop, and that radical Trump supporters killed four Capital police officers on January 6. These people are not afraid of the truth. They have no conception of the truth. Their ambivalence towards McDaniel has little to do with the truth and more about their need for unfettered delivery of the White House and Joe Biden doctrine. They want no debate on the Peacock Network. They want only a continuation of the orchestrated gaslighting that has been the narrative of the Legacy Media, CNN, and MSNBC.
In the official statement from NBC Universal News Chairman, Cesar Conde:
“Our initial decision was made because of our deep commitment to presenting our audiences with a wide diverse set of viewpoints and experiences, particularly during these consequential times.”
It sounds impressive and a welcome change to NBC and MSNBC, which has been more of a Democrat mouthpiece than a news source. Unfortunately, retracting the position to Ronna McDaniel because of the internal grumbling of the staff shows this was an empty line meant to impress but not to be authentic. The lineup of political opinion analysts, there are no actual news shows on MSNBC, does not want diversity in their ranks unless you are talking about skin color or sexual proclivity.
To bring political diversity to NBC and MSNBC would expose their audience to a storyline that would be very foreign to them. It may also prompt people to view the network as a biased entity that has been gaslighting since its inception. That is something we have been trying to tell them for years.
