Better than being too one sided.Led by NBC, U.S. corporate media is learning to live with Trump | Semafor
MSNBC hired former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel as an on-air commentator, despite her previous public criticism of the network's coverage of Republican politics.www.semafor.com
The decision to hire McDaniel, which was unanimously supported by top network executives, has already divided and destabilized one of America's most storied news organizations, with internal dismay flaring on text chains and Slack channels since the deal was announced late last week.
The dissent broke into the open Sunday when the network's top political analyst, Chuck Todd, pilloried executives moments after McDaniel's first network appearance, an interview with Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press."
"There's a reason why there's a lot of journalists at NBC News uncomfortable with this," Todd told Welker, citing prior "gaslighting" and "character assassination" from McDaniel's RNC.
