Last week I reposted - restacked - a column by Steve Schmidt. In my column, entitled The NBC/MSNBC Ronna Romney McDaniel Disgrace - Repost. The first line of it was: WTF is going on at NBC News? As a frequent viewer of MSNBC and having grown up in a household where NBC News was the default choice – with the large exception of Walter Cronkite – I was appalled by the decision to hire a person involved in a crime to subvert American Democracy.
Scarborough? They guy who gave Trump a national platform for months during the 2016 campaign? He'd know?
Maddow? The host of "outrage of the day?" She'd know?
McDaniel's hire does cross a line in that she was a participant in Jan 6th, but let's not pretend that this is the harbinger of a new direction for MSNBC or cable news.
Scarborough is a proud Gingrich acolyte and cosigner of the "contract for America" that normalized government shutdowns. Michael Steele was a corporate lawyer and RNC chair. Maddow's first job for MSNBC was a panelist... on Tucker Carlson's show. Remember how, after his scintillating career on CNN, Tucker went to MSNBC? I do.
They're not journalists, but they're the faces of MSNBC.
MSNBC is a not a news channel. It's entertainment. The only thing surprising about them hiring McDaniel was that anyone was surprised.
