Tempest in a Pencil Holder

NBC reversed its hiring of Ronna McDaniel after a public revolt by other network preening peacocks. McDaniel was RNC chair from 2017 to just recently. She carried much fetid water for Trumpie, dumped it on the “enemies of the people” at this network and others, and on Democracy in America. Trumpie forced her out at the RNC. NBC’s hiring of McDaniel was so quick she barely had time to pack before she had to unpack. Now she has to pack again. 

The hiring decision was unanimous in the C suite at 30 Rock, as was the virulent opposition among the great unwashed underneath the Rock and on air. How this could have been done with unanimity among the execs is a profile in corporate governance tone deaf-ness. McDaniel was a notorious peddler of Trumpie’s lies, a gleeful press basher and a trafficker in election denial. “Okay, so it’s unanimous? We bring Ronna McDaniel on board?” What were they thinking?
