Ronna McDaniel hired and fired exposes leftwing hypocrisy

&NewLine;<p>Within a nanosecond of NBC’s hiring former Republican National Chairman Ronna McDaniel as a political analyst&comma; the entire leftwing media mob went bonkers&period;&nbsp&semi; The unprecedented on-air outrage of the New York media elite was ultimately successful in cowing NBC top brass to reverse their decision and fire McDaniel after only one appearance on the Network&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Chuck Todd&comma; the former host of MSNBC’s &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Meet the Press” got the black ball rolling while guesting on the show he once anchored&period;&nbsp&semi; He claimed that McDaniel has &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;a credibility problem&period;”<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>&lpar;I have to digress&period; Can you imagine anyone complaining about another person’s credibility with less legitimacy than Chuck Todd – other than the rest of the lineup at MSNBC&comma; that is&quest;&rpar;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Todd said&colon;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p><em>&OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;There’s a reason why there are a lot of journalists at NBC News uncomfortable with this because many of our professional dealings with the RNC over the last six years have been met with gaslighting&comma; have been met with character assassination&period;&&num;8221&semi;<&sol;em><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Ironically&comma; McDaniel also appeared on &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Meet the Press” ahead of Tood&period; The new anchor Kristen Welker began the McDaniel interview by saying it was scheduled &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;weeks ahead” of her being hired by NBC&period;&nbsp&semi; In a bit of an apology&comma; Welker said&comma; &&num;8220&semi;This will be a news interview&comma; and I was not involved in her hiring&period;”<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In his later appearance on the show&comma; Todd said&colon;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p><em>&OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;I think our bosses owe you &lpar;Kristen Welker&rpar; an apology for putting you in this situation&period; Because I don’t know what to believe&period; She is now a paid contributor by NBC News&comma; so I have no idea whether any answer she gave to you was because she didn’t want to mess up her contract&period;”<&sol;em><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The staff rebellion was most notable in NBC’s &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Rosemary’s Baby” offspring&comma; MSNBC&period;&nbsp&semi; Rachel Maddow&comma; the network’s uber left &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;preachy female” &lpar;as Democrat strategist James Carville dubbed the ladies of the left&rpar; declared the hiring to be &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;inconceivable&period;”&nbsp&semi; It was so inconceivable that she declared it so repeatedly&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Maddow said that initially MSNBC management had accepted the parent company’s decision but has since changed its mind&period;&nbsp&semi; According to Maddow – with great emphasis and pride &&num;8212&semi; MSNBC will not allow McDaniel to appear on any of the network’s shows&period;&nbsp&semi; She is banned &&num;8230&semi; censored&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>This is consistent with MSNBC’s consistent leftwing philosophy of censorship&period;&nbsp&semi; Maddow had previously announced – with great emphasis and pride – that the network would not cover Trump&&num;8217&semi;s speeches&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Virtually the entire MSNBC lineup of leftwing personalities piled on – including Joe Scarborough&comma; Mika Brzezinski&comma; Niccole Wallace&comma; Lawrence O’Donnell&comma; Jen Psaki&comma;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>MSNBC –from management to the working staff &&num;8212&semi; is a disgrace to journalism&comma; the Constitution and is a threat to the fundamentals of democracy&period;&nbsp&semi; They are what the media is like under tinhorn dictators&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Perhaps this is what James Carville was referring to when he accused leftwing Democrats of being &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;too censorious&period;” &lpar;That country boy knows some big words&period;&rpar;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Maddow claimed opposition to McDaniel is not about politics&comma; which means it is ALL about politics – and unimaginable hypocrisy&period;&nbsp&semi; Lest we forget&comma; this is the station that already has a former Republican National Chairman&comma; Michael Steele&comma; on its payroll&period;&nbsp&semi; He is acceptable for one obvious reason&period;&nbsp&semi; He has converted to the MSNBC playbook for the paycheck&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>MSNBC is rife with other politicos playing pundits for pay&period;&nbsp&semi; Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has her own show on MSNBC&period;&nbsp&semi; Symone Sanders-Townsend&comma; former spokesperson for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and later spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris&comma; has her own show&period;&nbsp&semi; The list of paid &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;contributors” is filled with ex-political operatives from the far left&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Hiring former political personalities is not unique to MSNBC and is not new&period;&nbsp&semi; ABC’s George Stephanopoulos was White House Communications Director under President Clinton&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>There are two possible reasons why NBC may have hired McDaniel – and only one why they fired her&period;&nbsp&semi; They may have initially seen the need to add balance and journalistic integrity to their reporting&period; &lpar;If you find that incredulous&comma; remember I said&comma; &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;may have&period;”&rpar;&nbsp&semi; The other is to improve their ratings against the more conservative and more balanced FOX News – which has crushed MSNBC’s ratings for years&period;&nbsp&semi; Apparently&comma; MSNBC is so permeated with radical left employees that dogma trumps both ratings and journalistic principles&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In firing McDaniel&comma; NBC lowered the nadir of leftwing media hypocrisy and political depravity – establishing that MSNBC’s commitment to censorship and one-sided propaganda is the tail that wags the dog&period;&nbsp&semi; Perhaps this is an example of what Democrat operative James Carville meant when he said&comma; &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;There are a lot of people on the left that would rather lose and be pure because it makes them feel good&comma; it makes them feel superior&period;”&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>To paraphrase the <em>Washington Post<&sol;em> tagline&comma; &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Journalism dies in broad daylight&period;”<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>So&comma; there &OpenCurlyQuote;tis&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
