"team members who felt we let the down..." You mean hiring an election denier to be part of a new room that's supposed to deal in facts might undermine any journalistic organization? Well, no shit, Sherlock.

[@anabelleharvey9342]

The fact that ANYBODY at NBC thought that was a good idea and that they could just push it through is a perfect illustration of everything that is wrong with corporate media. The fact that they backtracked is not a "victory", it's just the damn minimum.

[@larrysheppard8433]

You're a world class douche bag.

[@g.benson8477]

She wasn't even an republican insider anymore because Trump kicked her out, which made the move dumber.

[@thedebatemechannel4746]

Will the theory would be that she wasn't insider so she can tell us things about how they think and operate. Trust me she knows a lot of dirt that will expose a lot of what the Republicans are doing because she saw it with her own eyes. The fact that she can't tell us what they're doing right now is not really that relevant because the Republican party is still the same corrupt party they were when she was there.

[@kushman3184]

But she knew the people there. That’s why she could have been beneficial in terms of getting inside information using sources that she cultivated. Not everyone there likes Trump. PS Everyone loves cancel culture.

[@swampfaye]

That's how every republican becomes a msnbc shill. Joe Scarborough was a REPUBLICAN.

[@dgunearthed7859]

If she was now a republican outsider with a grudge, she should have been perfect for msnbheehaw

[@ICU1337]

She is an insider though🤨 She still had her credentials. She left on good terms. She still had her contacts. She's about as inside as it gets without having her last name being trump. But her inside prospective wasnt needed. Nobody watching NBC/MSNBC cares about that insider perspective. Its a cult, dont need to know more than that.

[@eric2500]

What did it take to convince them not to hire a LIAR and INSURRECTIONIST for "INSIDER PERSPECTIVES"?

[@geneallevato5809]

Shouldn't be surprised by this - I'm betting there was a viewership drop and major pushback from advertisers threating to cancel their ads. Whoever thought Rona McDaniel would be a good hire should be fired.

[@youcanttakemyDIGNITY]
