“NBC News on Friday announced that it had hired Ronna McDaniel, the former Republican National Committee chair who has repeatedly attacked the network and its journalists, labeling the news media as “fake news” and promoting false claims around the 2020 voting as an on-air commentator ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

“It couldn’t be a more important moment to have a voice like Ronna’s on the team,” Carrie Budoff Brown, senior vice president of politics at NBC News, said in a memo to staff. (what??!!??) During her time as chair of the RNC, McDaniel repeatedly attacked the press labeling it as “fake news” and calling the media “corrupt.”

NBC’s hiring of McDaniel appears to follow the trend of media networks and their outlets to accept as news Trump and his republican cohorts peddling their lies and conspiracy theories as news, on air without scrutiny.

MSNBC has even started carrying Trump’s remarks live on television, a practice that the network boasted for years it would not do.” This is adapted from a news item by Oliver Darcy, CNN

Looks like NBC will now also be on my DO NOT WATCH LIST as I’m sure the false and/or uncontested reporting will come thick and fast the closer we come to election time. MY guess is they are doing this to cover their behind in case Republicans should win the election.

I can just imagine her appearance on Morning Joe and the sunday morning shows to give her warped view of how the world should be run. Looks like I can sleep in on sundays.
