Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel at the Republican National Convention on Aug. 24, 2020, in D.C. In theory, it’s a smart move for a television news organization in an election year: snap up the recently ousted head of the Republican National Committee as an on-air commentator before competing networks get the chance.on the network’s flagship public affairs program, “Meet the Press.
Although the announcement said McDaniel would contribute “across all NBC News platforms,” the hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, said Monday that she will not be appearing on their show. They cited McDaniel’s role in pressuring election officials not to certify the result of the 2020 election and in abetting “Donald Trump’s fake elector scheme.”I should note that I am paid to appear on those NBC platforms and do so several times a week.
It’s more likely, I believe, that NBC thought it had found one of the unicorns that virtually all leading media outlets have been hunting for years now: commentators who can articulate the Republican Party’s point of view in a way that is consistent with responsible standards and practices. The problem is that since Trump’s takeover of the party, the mainstream GOP position — on any given topic, at any given moment — is his position.
