CNN dumping all over NBC for hiring Ronna!

Kind of amusing. Their correspondent is quoting Chuck Todd, and really slamming the higher ups at NBC.

He says that the blowback is worse than anyone expected, and is not going to blow over. Basically, he's saying that NBC may have to get rid of her.

Pointing out that hiring an insurrectionist is a red line, or should be. The correspondent was Oliver Darcy.

They have a long track record of hiring truly horrible people in an attempt to be Fox Lite. The network is so wishy-washy, with no real character.

But in trying to correct an appearance of left-wing bias, they've only reinforced right-wing bias. How is THAT gonna work?

And I would swear every one of those threads has at least one post that doesn't distinguish between NBC and MSNBC. Some of them have entire subthreads on the subject as well as multiple "I will never watch MSNBC again!" posts. I am SO over it!
