When NBC canned Jeff Shell, they left a vacuum in the executive ranks. There's no one there now, doing what he did. Had Shell been there, this debacle never would have happened. Cesar Conde is in over his head and is too busy looking for his next step on the ladder to look after his current gig, which is the News Division. He's farmed out all the responsibilities for all the various parts to too many people and balkanized it, so no one has any kind of overarching vision for what the News Division is supposed to be.
Conde is too busy managing up to take care of what's right in front of him. The current chairman of NBC is just a placeholder and won't (or can't) assert himself and/or take real control over there.
I agree they need opposing voices, but they don't need liars, fabulists and election deniers.
If I ever see geraldo on the street I'm going to educate him on why Al Capone needed a vault and why he should have locked himself inside back in the 80s.
I imagine that she would start lying about NBC the minute she is fired and letting her in the newsroom would only lend a bit of credibility to her claims of blatant bias and anti-Trumpism.
This is like with Megan Kelly. They hired her for some ass reason and quickly found out that nobody liked her and she wasn't very good at the job. Getting rid of her was an expensive lesson.
NBC reverses decision to hire Ronna McDaniel after on-air backlash
Amid a chorus of on-air protest from some of the network’s biggest stars, NBC announced on Tuesday night that former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel will no longer be joining the network as a paid contributor.
The only “problems” were R gerrymandering, R’s taking eligible Voters off the rolls w out notice, R’s trying limit & intimidate Voters waiting hours in line to Vote, & R’s from the Villages etc actually the only ones trying vote multiple times/ Voter Fraud. Oh yeah, & the problem of magat R’s & their trashgoblin rageyam loser leader trying foment insurrection, overturn an election w intimidation then violence, and prevent the peaceful transfer of power in a Democracy. So yeah, there were problems, R’s ALLWAYS ARE THE PROBLEMS! OHJB&KH have worked daily tirelessly to undo the problems R’s make & help everyday Americans across beautiful diverse spectrum of Americans live safer & better lives in America. We’re onto & over ur BS problem-making NBC/RRM, magats, R traitors & any trash trying make America more problematic 🇺🇸
People should listen to Maddow's whole speech, most of which was NOT about MSNBC hiring an insurrectionist for 300K. It is a real wake-up call for those who haven't been paying attention to what the Rs are doing.
I wonder if NBC could keep her under contract and just never put her on TV? It depends on her contract, of course, whether it has a guaranteed number of on-air times. What would be even cooler is if it had a no-compete clause, in which case she'd be effectively muted until her contract was over.

NBC executives are closet-oligarchs (in their minds) trying to impersonate woke media moguls.

Jeez, thank the Lord for Rachel Maddow. She has the clout and the clarity and the courage to defeat the corporate bosses.
Ha!! She’s OUT!!! They did the right thing and I’m so confused by it!
I imagine that she would start lying about NBC the minute she is fired and letting her in the newsroom would only lend a bit of credibility to her claims of blatant bias and anti-Trumpism.
They could compensate by hiring Jules to interview her: "WHAT DOES MARCELLUS WALLACE LOOK LIKE?"
This is like with Megan Kelly. They hired her for some ass reason and quickly found out that nobody liked her and she wasn't very good at the job. Getting rid of her was an expensive lesson.
Thanks Rachel RRM is gone!

thinking about Cards for Humanity, I would like to suggest "My overstuffed lips"

They've got Michael Steele, hired right after losing the RNC chairmanship. Maybe they thought Romney Mc would be more of the same.
