Rachel Maddow Reacts To Ronna McDaniel’s NBC Ouster

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING MSNBC host Rachel Maddow praised NBC News’ decision to axe Ronna McDaniel as a paid contributor after uproar from staff on both channels. Speaking to MSNBC’s Joy Reid on Tuesday, Maddow acknowledged that “it always feels wrong to talk about things, you know, in the company, as if it’s news.” She said there was an “essentially unanimous feeling among all the journalists in the building, our senior staff, and all the producers” about the decision to hire the former Republican National Committee chair. Maddow delivered a nearly 30-minute-long admonishment on Monday, voicing her objection to “our company putting on the payroll someone who has not just attacked us as journalists but is part of an ongoing project to get rid of our system of government.” NBC announced it had reversed the decision Tuesday afternoon. “Acknowledging that you might have got something wrong is a real sign of strength,” Maddow said on Tuesday’s segment with Reid.
