"MSNBC Hosts Condemn NBC's Hiring of Ronna McDaniel"

MSNBC's "Morning Joe" co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski criticized their employer for hiring Ronna McDaniel, former head of the Republican National Committee, as a paid contributor to NBC News, calling her an "anti-democracy election denier." They stated that McDaniel won't be invited on their show and expressed disappointment in NBC's decision. The hiring has caused uproar at NBC News, with other journalists, including Chuck Todd, also criticizing the move. NBC News president Rashida Jones stated that there are no plans to use McDaniel as an on-air contributor, but Politico reported that top-level executives, including Jones, signed off on the deal.
