YOU’RE GONNA NEED A MUCH BIGGER BLOG: What in the Actual F— Is Wrong With These People? (NBC News Edition).
We regret to inform you that America’s journalists are in the midst of another temper tantrum. This one is in response to NBC News’s decision to hire former RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel as a paid contributor. The network’s own employees are in open revolt, incensed at the prospect of having to share screen time with a Republican who hasn’t completely disavowed Donald Trump.
NBC chief political analyst Chuck Todd, a former Democratic campaign aide, slammed NBC executives for hiring someone with “credibility issues” and a history of “gaslighting.” Democratic scion Mika Brzezinski urged the network to “reconsider its decision.” Host Kristen Welker issued a trigger warning over the weekend before airing her interview with McDaniel on Meet the Press. Nicolle Wallace read a passage from a book about tyranny and bemoaned the degradation of “our sacred airwaves.”
It wouldn’t be the first time so-called mainstream journalists have revealed themselves to be hopelessly out of touch with the average Americans they claim to care about. The partisan tantrum over McDaniel’s hiring suggests they are incapable of self-awareness.
Just NBC the craziness and read the whole thing.
UPDATE: Party operative with chyron is lashing out after being compared to rival party operative with chyron:
It's really a simple question: Was Jen Psaki negotiating with NBC News while still WH press secretary and taking questions from reporters at her future employer? She fails to circle back to that rather important tidbit. https://t.co/iRX945FW1G
