NBC News executives will meet March 26 and decide on the fate of Ronna McDaniel at the network, according to published reports. McDaniel, former Republican National Committee chair, was hired by NBC News March 22, with the news organization aiming to feature voices addressing the issues from both sides of the political spectrum.
NBC News talent has blasted the move on the air. Chuck Todd, former Meet the Press moderator, did so on that program March 24, and Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski opened Morning Joe March 25 on MSNBC with a criticism of McDaniel and her hiring, labeling her an “anti-democracy election denier.”
