I was going to post this in one of the existing political threads, but I think it deserves its own.
A few days ago, NBC & MSNBC announced they had hired McDaniel as a paid contributor. She’s not just an election denier, she was reportedly involved in overturning the 2020 election, and she characterized January 6 as legitimate political discourse. As such, giving her a platform on these networks - or any that cares about the truth- was unconscionable. This isn’t a matter of hearing what the other side thinks.
Not surprisingly, this spawned an uproar on social media, so I was interested to see what NBC and MSNBC journalists would say. Tonight, both Jen Psaki and Rachel Maddow clearly voiced their strong opposition. I’ve never been a Chuck Todd fan, but even he came out against it. Good for them!
Apparently, MSNBC has said McDaniel won’t be on air on that network, but I hope NBC reverses their decision, no matter what it costs. As for McDaniel, let her go to Fox “News” or some other media outlet that doesn’t care about accuracy.
