Chuck Todd just attacked his own network, NBC News, over hiring Ronna McDaniel. "Our bosses owe you an apology for putting you in this situation," he told Kristen Welker on Meet the Press. "There's a reason why there's a lot of journalists at NBC News uncomfortable with this."

: "Ronna facilitated Trump’s corrupt fake elector plot & his effort to pressure MI officials not to certify the legitimate election outcome.She spread his lies & called 1/6 “legitimate political discourse.” That’s not “taking one for the team.” It’s enabling criminality & depravity."
@GottaLaff Is this his way of saying he's sorry/not-sorry but that he's going to be interviewing Ronna next. Chuck seems like the kind of guy who endorsed this hiring by NBC in private, but now is helping them sanitize it in public by "attacking" the company. Being that Chuck is very high up on the food chain at NBC, what are the chances he said this without both Welker and his bosses knowing something like this was coming. Damage control or sincere? I guess time will tell.
@GottaLaff I’m glad Chuck Todd spoke out but I still don’t care for him.
NBC also gave Nikki’s Haley a platform to fix her civil war comments on SNL that also had a RWNJ MAGA host a few weeks ago.
Big media is anti-democracy.
I know what’s going on bc I got to know some indie journos in the angry bird site and have some great info here.
Thanks Laffy!
Like any turncoat or double-agent, Ronna McDaniel, is being bought to squeeze her for her insider knowledge.
Her commentary must be thoroughly vetted and NOT platformed.
She is a career grifter hoping to regain her former position of power. What she's doing is NOT intended to serve the public interest. It's self-enrichment for herself.
Her greatest potential source of utility is on who is funding a 2nd coup attempt amongst the GOP's megadonors.
@GottaLaff Chuck Todd is doing a CYA because he has guided journalism to its destruction and now pretends like the current situation has nothing to do with him.
@GottaLaff
It was very un Todd like, but put himself out there.
I wonder if he gets fired over this. I was pleasantly surprised with his direct treatment of the "Elephant in the room."
@GottaLaff
I’m beginning to wonder about Welker and her producer. There’s a word for selling your work out for clicks. That Trump fiasco and now Ronna…..there is no room for giving an inch anymore to the enemies of democracy.
@tdwllms1@GottaLaff Exactly what I was thinking! I had to stop watching Chuck because I always screamed at the TV when he was on with his "bothsideism" crap!
