Ronna McDaniel OUT at NBC News

I was glad MSNBC said she would not be appearing on there. Also glad I think almost every host on an opinion program spoke out about it and the parent network did the right thing in the end. You don't carry water for Trump's lies for years and then get to be treated normally when need a paycheck.

MSNBC is a partisan Democrat network who thinks they own the 'sacred airwaves', and it can only be used by people in their little club of like minded fellow travelers. They hire 'Republicans' to maintain an extremely thin facade. Everyone knows this already, this episode is just an amusing farce where they tripped over themselves and misjudged how thin it was supposed to be.

They own their own programming! Anyway, MSNBC didn't hire or fire her.

It's kinda funny that MSNBC tried to pretend it was a fair and balanced source of news though. It's not really much different from Fox News, just in the opposite direction. The NYT (for print media) and CNN (on tv) are much closer to what I'd consider as fair and balanced which has ironically made them hated by both sides (moreso in the case of CNN).

MSNBC didn't hire her and in fact said she would not be appearing on the network.

Huh, so what's this thread about then?

She was hired by the parent company NBCUniversal and fired by them. They have news programs separate from MSNBC. She would have been available to appear as a paid contributor on MSNBC but the network immediately rejected that.

The only person at MSNBC I remember pushing election denialism was Keith Olbermann, who's been gone for 13 years but he pushed hard the idea that Ohio was stolen in 2004. Others may have dipped a toe in it for other elections here and there but nothing explicit.

Would MSNBC hire any republican who is NOT a critic of trump even if they weren’t an election denier? Or do you basically need to critizie, callout, and hate trump in order to work there? Say Mike Pence was interested, would they hire him?

I'm guessing probably not because such a person would probably be too bombastic and not willing to temper their rhetoric for the network. But note they have not been shy about hiring conservatives in the past, but of course one thing that happens is they're there long enough and they just become liberal, like Scarborough, Nicole Wallace, or Michael Steele.
