Why did NBC fire Rhona McDaniels ?

It seems that NBC has decided that it only wants DNC approved news. A person
that isn't part of the Progressive wing, is not allowed to be heard.

I heard that Hitler also would not let the Jewish people have a voice in the government
controlled media.

Why is NBC letting the anchors like Chuck Todd and Morning Joe dictate who they do and do not hire?

Ronna McDaniel is not a journalist and anything she would have contributed would have been an opinion piece, but Morning Joe isn't a journalist either, so why accept his opinions and not Ronna's?

Is NBC attempting to become another Fox, that only caters and broadcasts to one side?

Mistake to hire Ronna McDaniel in the first place, much bigger mistake to fire her 2 days later.

@independentone FOX has Democrats on giving their opinion all the time.

@independentone NBC has been stating for awhile that they want to move further right. The problem is when your entire staff are on the "other side" it was never going to go smoothly. This goes for any drastic change in corporate culture to be honest.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Journalism doesn't mean leaning left or right, it means news and facts regardless of ones personal opinion.

@independentone Kind of. I mean absolute objectivity is a fantasy. Every person on the planet has a bias and everything we experience is filtered through that.

Journalism has never been unbiased.

And in the US in particular journalism has not been about reporting facts for about 30 years at this point.

The more insidious part of modern propaganda is convincing people that it is objective reality regardless of facts.

@independentone They no longer adhere to traditional journalistic ethics anymore, even local location reporters editorialize now.

@independentone She didn’t promote the liberal agenda. None of the networks show both sides of the story. They all lean left. CNN, NBC and MSNBC are the worst of them. There’s 120 million tv set in the US. MSNBC is lucky to get 2 million viewers.

@jackson55 Tell me without telling me you don't know what left means.
