NBC News ousts Ronna McDaniel after network's anchors launch unprecedented on-air rebellion
Source: CNN
There is no doubt that the last several days have been difficult for the News Group, NBCUniversal News Group President Cesar Conde said in a memo to staff. After listening to the legitimate concerns of many of you, I have decided that Ronna McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor.
I want to personally apologize to our team members who felt we let them down, Conde continued. While this was a collective recommendation by some members of our leadership team, I approved it and take full responsibility for it.
Ahead of the networks decision, McDaniel spent the day Tuesday interviewing attorneys in preparation for a potential legal battle with NBC, a person familiar with the matter told CNN. Creative Artists Agency, the talent agency that brokered McDaniels deal with NBC, also parted ways with her, the person said.

Being big-lie, election denier doesn't pay. Wonder if she'll go back to using Romney in her name now that talking one for the team doesn't work?

(32,645 posts)What interest does NBC have in hiring someone who isn't professionally trained to report on the news of the day? Secondly after all the lies and propaganda she has barfed out, she has ZERO credibility to anyone except perhaps Q anon. Thirdly even the Chump Humpers don't like her, and Chump basically fired her so he could hire his own daughter-in-law.
If the bigshots at NBC didn't realize that McDaniel would be hated by viewers and co-workers alike, then they really have their heads up their asses. The bigger question is, how could they have made such a bone-headed decision to hire her?

(6,811 posts)It seems so illogical for msnbc to hire her, it almost seems it had to a be a setup to get her there, and right before the election season??

(493 posts)cause you know she is going to sue the pants off MSNBC it's the republican way. How she ever weaseled her way onto this station is beyond most people who watch this station every day knowing people like Rachel Maddow, Ari Melber, Lawrence O'Donnell and the rest of the journalists who contribute fair and honest information.

Dan Rather got fired for a lot less. Dan Rather left the anchor desk in 2005 following the Killian documents controversy, in which he presented unauthenticated documents in a news report on President George W. Bush's Vietnam Warera service in the National Guard. He continued to work with CBS until 2006, when he was abruptly fired. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/dan-rather-cbs-news-corporate-media_n_1531121
In September 2007, Rather filed a $70 million lawsuit against CBS and its former parent company Viacom. Rather accused the network and its ownership and management of making him a "scapegoat" in the Killian story. An intermediate New York state appeals court dismissed the lawsuit in September 2009, and the New York Court of Appeals refused to reinstate it in January 2010. https://web.archive.org/web/20091002082508/http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090929/tv_nm/us_rather_cbs_1
I imagine Ronna's lawsuit would meet the same fate.
