Brazenly Public Adulterers Joe Scarborough and Mica Brzezinski Melt Down Over Hiring of Ronna McDaniel
BREAKING: NBC #Cancels McDaniel, Will Break Their Contract With Her and Fire Her

After Democrat operative and Husky Huckster Chuck Todd, adulterers Joe and Mica, and ugly cashew-headed lesbian Rachel Maddow demanded that NBC declare itself to be dedicated to 100% ideological conformity, NBC has decided to break its contract with Ronna McDaniel.


NBC News plans to drop former Republican National Committee boss Ronna McDaniel as a paid contributor after network stars including MSNBC prime time headliner Rachel Maddow and the co-hosts of "Morning Joe" blasted the decision to bring the Trump-backing politico on board.

The network has not made an announcement, but one is pending, according to Puck News. The Post has sought comment from NBC and McDaniel.

McDaniel is reportedly looking to hire a lawyer, according to Puck News.

I'll bet she is.

Little hint: Move out of whatever blue district you're in and file in a red jurisdiction.


Maddow, MSNBC's most bankable name, said on her Monday show that hiring McDaniel was "inexplicable" and demanded that executives "reverse their decision."


...

Maddow went on to bash McDaniel as "someone who hasn't just attacked us as journalists, but someone who is part of an ongoing project to get rid of our system of government."

"You wouldn't hire a made man like a mobster to work at a DA's office, right? You wouldn't hire a pick-pocket to work as a TSA screener," Maddow concluded.
What do you think? Post a comment.

Earlier on Monday, Joe Scarborough and his wife, Mika Brzezinski, who co-host MSNBC's "Morning Joe," pledged on the air that they would not invite McDaniel to their program, calling her an "anti-democracy election denier."

The adulterers who openly flaunted their affair on live TV said they have ethics and principles which demand they shun the newly-hired infidel and refuse to have her on their Leftwing Propaganda and Under-the-Desk Frigging Show.

Joe Scarborough, a first-rate scumbag, then attempted to #cancel Ronna McDaniel like Kathleen Kennedy cancelled Gina Carano. They're attempting to make her radioactive and unemployable at any company.

Moments ago, JOE SCARBOROUGH and MIKA BRZEZINSKI became the latest voices at NBCUniversal News Group to criticize their company's hiring of former RNC chair RONNA McDANIEL as a paid contributor.

"We weren't asked our opinion of the hiring but, if we were, we would have strongly objected to it for several reasons," Scarborough said at the top of "Morning Joe," with Brzezinski adding, "We hope NBC will reconsider its decision. It goes without saying that she will not be a guest on 'Morning Joe' in her capacity as a paid contributor." They then played a reel of McDaniel's various comments questioning the outcome of the 2020 election.

MSNBC is the network that alleged for eight or nine years straight that Donald Trump was a paid agent of Vladimir Putin and that the KGB rigged the 2016 election.

I know you know that. Just wanted to underline it.


Their comments come a day after CHUCK TODD pilloried NBC executives moments after McDaniel's first network appearance, an interview with KRISTEN WELKER on "Meet the Press."

"I think our bosses owe you an apology for putting you in this situation," Todd told Welker. "There's a reason why there's a lot of journalists at NBC News uncomfortable with this, because many of our professional dealings with the RNC over the last six years have been met with gaslighting, have been met with character assassination."

Other NBC and MSNBC hosts and contributors will undoubtedly now be under pressure to speak their minds as well. MSNBC's prime-time lineup tonight will be worth watching.

Will it though?

Well actually I guess it was.

Black Conservative Perspective cut video of the Adulterers and the Harry Potter Cosplayer. The adulterers went on the air to cancel someone who had never done them any harm, and then the angry lesbian accused her of plotting to "get rid of our system of government."

Politico presents this all as just and necessary:


These on-air protests may be a seminal moment in political media as news organizations continue to grapple with how to responsibly represent voices from the Trump right on their screens and in their pages without handing their platforms over to election deniers or bad faith actors who have attacked and attempted to discredit their own reporters.

You see, reporters can attack the credibility of leaders on the right, but leaders on the right may not attack the credibility of "journalists."

It's not hypocrisy. It's hierarchy.

Politico reports that Chuck Todd is the Real Victim Here:

Todd's outburst [Sunday] that crystallized the turmoil. It was in some ways the culmination of years of frustrations, laid bare by the guy who had lived through all of it.

Todd spent a decade in the MTP chair and suffered so much vitriol from anti-media attacks -- on both the right and the left -- that NBC regularly hired private security for him. There was internal criticism, too: By the end of his tenure, the show was being excessively micromanaged by executives, and he'd had clashes throughout with colleagues at MSNBC as he did much of the frustrating work trying to distinguish the non-ideological NBC News from its ideological cable cousin. But he won over that crowd yesterday.

LOL, "non-ideological NBC News."

This is patently unfair. Whatever personal issues Scarborough and Brzezinski have or once had, they are entirely independent of their professional demeanor and conduct as journalists.

Their objection is professional, and as such should be considered. Their concern about hiring a powerful political partisan for what is supposed to be a newsroom is completely reasonable. This is not using McDaniel as a contributor or an interview subject on differing policy, this is adding her to the staff.

Trepidation over the injection of partisan politics into an organization that today provides balanced coverage is justified. In our increasingly polarized society and media landscape, maintaining balance is extremely difficult and requires constant vigilance. This hire has the potential to tip the scales and cause the poison of partisanship to enter the outlet's news coverage.

The anchors should not be disregarded simply due to potential personal foibles.

I can laugh at her attempting to play the game of being the "reasonable" sort of Republican that is supposedly acceptable to the left, and then immediately have it proven that we are right that unless you are lock step with them you are their enemy, maybe a useful idiot but always an enemy.

NBC, CBS and ABC (Disney) corporate media serve an audience that barely exceeds a Punchy campaign rally. They have to be totally supported and monetized by lefty corporate donors and owners. They know it, Trump knows it. It's a complete house of cards - a sham.

The mentally ill, intellectually stunted Chuck Todd you see now, embarrassing himself every week on public TV, wouldn't be hired to serve you at a Burger King drive thru much less where he is employed (if anywhere) - he knows it, you know it - but he doesn't care as long as he can play the court jester media buffoon to his current pay masters.

This isn't about Ronna and the rest of the R's wanting to be accepted. The D's and R's are different factions of the same apparatus. This is war from the D side and the R's are just grifters getting batted around by the other side that isn't f'ing around.

179 I heard the most stunning story on NPR the other day. Yes, I listen so you don't half to.

It was about the Julliard dance school, which gives students 100% of their tuition as scholarships. And EVERY student they interviewed discussed how IMPORTANT it was to have REPRESENTATION, especially in ballet. "It's important to see people on stage who look like me."

The idea of something like ballet is not individuality. It is having everyone look and dance exactly the same. Same height, weight, and form. As an old fat guy, not one of them has ever looked like me, nor do I expect them to, nor do I want that. Diversity is NOT the goal of ballet.

I listen to the talking heads programs to get various perspectives, not to hear conformity. Diversity of opinion.
I don't care about race, color, religion, or cashew heads, I care about people who have different things to say. Yet all these people want is conformity.

It's like you can't win either way - where conformity is needed, they want diversity, and where diversity is needed, they want conformity.

That actually is starting to happen in some places. The next congress will be more MAGA than the one before - even if the breakdowns in overall party affiliation held.

This is stupid by the dems though. Ronna was a lot of things, but a huge Trump supporter she was not. What this does show the RINO types is that soon you will have no where to go. Once the democrats have no use for you, they will throw you out like a piece of moldy bread. Time to decide if you believe in anything other than your wallet. They may not.

232 Playing catch up on Ace's posts, no one mentioned the fact that two of the local Baltimore "news" source tweets got the bridge name wrong. Usually an understandable gaffe but the fact that Francis Scott Key you know, the author of America's national freaking anthem. Almost like they wrote "Francis Key Scott" intentionally or are complete dumbasses or both.

235 DENVER (KDVR) — The Federation of Gay Games announced its list of potential cities to host the Gay Games XIIl in 2030 – and Denver is one of 25 cities bidding for the spot.

Several Colorado government officials, like Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and Colorado Gov. Bared Penis, are in support of the event taking place in Denver.

“Colorado is a state where athletes can thrive no matter who they love* or how they identify**. I hope to welcome the Gay Games to Colorado in 2030, and maybe I’ll even try out for the baseball team,” said Penis.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at March 26, 2024 02:37 PM (XkYcA)


The LP is set up as a series of caucuses which then debate within states and then nationally to decide on the president and VP picks (which are decided separately by the national caucus)
'
Rechtenwald is the probably pick of the largest Caucus, the Mises caucus, and probably pick of the national party for 2024.
Rechtenwald was a Marxist NYY prof who actually taught marxism as a political thought, until he was cancelled for asking if the current trajectory of political thought was correct and if maybe some elements should be reconsidered

254 Speaking of movies....

We took Ace's most recent movie advice.

The results:

"The Beekeeper" - probably the Jason Strathamiest movie of Jason Stratham's oeuvre. Great action, huge fun. Dips a toe into politics with the villains which is why it gets lousy critic ratings to go along with its excellent viewer ratings.

"Road House" - never saw the original, but both of us enjoyed Roadhouse.
BONUS! plus it's directed by one of my favorite directors - Doug Liman. So, crisp action, crunchy violence, and a great pace.

Well-acted, very well-shot fun action movie.


Check both of them out.

Ace's Movie critiques? - two thumbs up!

Black Sails had its share of woke nonsense. But if the woke could write as well as it was written, they'd be turning profits instead of going broke.

Good point. I hadn't considered that.

I guess the role of the Hearst newspapers must now be assigned to FOX.

========

Historically, journalism has been a cesspool. The mid-century perception of journalists being honest truthtellers was always a massive anomaly brought about because they had to put on a mask of objectivity in order to retain broadcasting licenses from the government.

It just, of course, hid the fact that partisanship was still a factor, giving a monolith to the side that captured it, which did happen. With the loss of the need for those licenses, the historical norm is simply returning. The Internet is the new daily newspaper run out of a small office and funded by the local politician.

314 One of the truly great productions of Pirates of Penzance was done in the Papp Theatre in Cental Park in NYC. I didn't see it live, but on tape. Linda Ronstadt was Mabel. I didn't realize was a truly stellar voice she had. Also, Patricia Routledge as the "Pirate Den mother" Ruth. I didn't realize that Routledge _"From Keeping Up Appearances" on the BBC was a classically trained singer . Also, the Pirate thing in that was Kevin Kline. He did a really good job.
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at March 26, 2024 02:55 PM (XkYcA)

I think the stage production was superior to the movie. Patricia Routledge was outstanding as Ruth (played by Angela Lansbury in the film). And no dubbing!

320 This quote from POLITCO is too much:

These on-air protests may be a seminal moment in political media as news organizations continue to grapple with how to responsibly represent voices from the Trump right on their screens and in their pages without handing their platforms over to election deniers or bad faith actors who have attacked and attempted to discredit their own reporters.

They do like to sucker people in by having a couple of really good episodes. Then, about 5 episodes in, the tone will shift into wokeness mode. Season 2 will then ramp up into full on woke from the beginning.

The only difference is Mitch is committing adultery against his country.
