The Republican National Committee chair turned NBC politics analyst Ronna McDaniel “tried to disassemble our democracy” by supporting Donald Trump’s electoral fraud lies and should not be given such a media role, a leading historian said amid uproar over the appointment.
“What NBC has done is they’ve invited into what should be a normal framework someone who doesn’t believe that framework should exist at all,” Timothy Snyder, a Yale professor and author of On Tyranny, told MSNBC, part of the network now employing McDaniel.
I’m not surprised that a major news corporation would do something like this, but I admit I’m a little surprised it was NBC that did it.
Edit (t+19h):
Why? If there’s one thing coporate media always does its whore itself out for ratings by any means necessary.
NBC generally doesn’t hire full-throated Trump supporters. But in a broader sense, you’re not wrong.
