NBC News has brought in Ronna McDaniel, who previously chaired the RNC and supported Trump, to be a commentator on NBC and MSNBC.
The New York Times reported:
Ronna McDaniel, who recently stepped down as chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, will be joining NBC News as an on-air contributor, according to the network's announcement on Friday.
This move brings a consistently conservative viewpoint to NBC's group of political analysts. McDaniel is also expected to offer opinions on MSNBC, NBC's left-leaning affiliate that former President Donald J. Trump and his supporters often criticize as being aligned with the Democratic Party.
It's worth asking why NBC believes that MSNBC viewers would be interested in hearing from Ronna McDaniel. In reality, the first time McDaniel appears on MSNBC channels will likely draw nationwide attention.
McDaniel has been a vocal supporter of Trump for many years, and she lost her position at the RNC because Trump wanted to assume control of the Republican National Committee and use its funds to cover his legal expenses.
NBC is attempting to appeal to Trump voters before the election and seeking to gain favor with Trump in case he returns to the White House.
McDaniel's hiring serves as a reminder that corporate media, regardless of their branding, will always seek to attract Republicans by nature.
Ronna McDaniel collaborated with Trump in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and soon she will be featured on some of your favorite MSNBC shows.
