CNN dumping all over NBC for hiring Ronna!

[senseandsensibility]

Kind of amusing. Their correspondent is quoting Chuck Todd, and really slamming the higher ups at NBC.

He says that the blowback is worse than anyone expected, and is not going to blow over. Basically, he's saying that NBC may have to get rid of her.

Pointing out that hiring an insurrectionist is a red line, or should be. The correspondent was Oliver Darcy.

1. 3-2-1 CNN will be bring Ronna in the future !

[senseandsensibility]

2. Yeah, that's what makes it kind of funny

But it's good to see anyway. He also pointed out that Ronna was responsible for lodging attacks against MSNBC journalists as well.

9. I assume this is based on something other than "we just know..."?

[Fullduplexxx]

21. Cnn is mad cause they wanted her

[iluvtennis]

38. Let cnn have her. Don't want her on MSNBC. n/t

[NBachers]

3. But if they dump her, then she'll be *SOB* canceled!

4. Nbc sucks for hiring that GOPig McDaniel ratbag woman. Evil woman trump lover

[OMGWTF]

17. As a woman, I don't normally comment on other women's looks, but

Ronna Rmoney McDaniel has a face for radio.

[Srkdqltr]

5. The RNC already canceled her in favor of trump's dil.

[MontanaMama]

6. Well no shit. I cannot believe the geniuses at NBC

thought this was a good idea. Oh to be a fly on the wall at Rachel Maddow’s house these past couple days. Oy vey.

[agingdem]

7. CNN is no one to point a finger at MSNBC..

they hired Corey Lewandowski and Kayleigh McEnany..

[BaronChocula]

10. And before that

Rick Santorum who was known for making denigrating statements before then getting fired by CNN for making denigrating statements.

18. CNN hired Pat Buchanan decades ago.

[lastlib]

28. Pat "Puke-Cannon"

He spewed a lot of verbal vomit; it was inexcusable to have him on. (the f***ing nazi scum.)

[carpetbagger]

34. The man was such a a Nazi....

...that Donald Trump ran to the left of him in his 2000 Reform Party quasi-campaign.

[agingdem]

36. the irreplaceable Molly Ivins had this to say about

Pat Buchanan's 1992 RNC speech.."probably sounded better in the original German"...

[Deuxcents]

37. Can only imagine her quips these days...I miss her

[TwilightZone]

39. He was also on MSNBC for ten years.

[PatSeg]

23. I was thinking the same thing

They have a long track record of hiring truly horrible people in an attempt to be Fox Lite. The network is so wishy-washy, with no real character.

[Takket]

8. i wrote them a note saying i will not be watching nbc news programming anymore

won't make any difference i'm sure, but it was cathartic lol

[calimary]

11. GOOD! Add it to the pile. Soon enough, they won't be able to ignore their fuck-up anymore.

OR pretend it away because "a few" people criticized it.

[calimary]

[BonnieJW]

22. I wrote them too

It will be interesting if we were 2 out of several million complaining

[Cha]

31. Well If Enough people did that. Personally I haven't watched

any m$m since Nov 2002

[Takket]

40. "won't make any difference"

nevermind

[senseandsensibility]

41. It was you!

Lol

[onetexan]

12. This is same cnn that hired lewandowski

That and bothsiderism. Pot calling kettle black.

[magicarpet]

13. MSNBC hired Ronna Romney because,...

Sarah Huckabee was not available -seeing how she had a prior commitment.



Two peas - same pod.

[calimary]

15. Probably wanted to look like they're not left-leaning.

But in trying to correct an appearance of left-wing bias, they've only reinforced right-wing bias. How is THAT gonna work?

[spooky3]

16. MSNBC did not hire her. NBC did. Rashida Jones says there

Are “no plans” for her to appear on MSNBC.

[ShazzieB]

20. There are multiple threads on DU about McDaniel's MTP interview, including how much she lied.

And I would swear every one of those threads has at least one post that doesn't distinguish between NBC and MSNBC. Some of them have entire subthreads on the subject as well as multiple "I will never watch MSNBC again!" posts. I am SO over it!

[spooky3]

30. I hear ya!

[Warpy]

19. Their right wing boss is peeved that he was outbid

Trust me, if NBC hadn't offered her more, she'd be on CNN.

[AllyCat]

25. I don't think Fox-lite is in any position to criticize.

[dem4decades]

26. Was it Rick Santorum reporting? CNN shouldn't be throwing stones

From their glass house.

[Cha]

27. lol Too Rich! Didn't msnbc dump on cnn for the TSF town hall?

[Cha]

29. Ah the "blowback".. Dems have had Enough!

[Generic Brad]

32. Quoth the network that spawned Glen Beck and Tucker Carlson and Lou Dobbs

So much credibility there, CNN.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

33. Chutzpah.

[flamingdem]

35. Appreciate this irony

Delicious!
