So, does this mean she is going to be making appearances on NBC? I know shes going to be on Meet the Press tomorrow.

(23,991 posts)...whether discussion, shit show, debate, argument, some combination, or something else entirely. Having held the same post at the RNC, it could be revealing to see how and where their views now diverge on officeholders, candidates, policies, governing philosophy, etc.

(17,122 posts)I keep hoping that any network will cover Dems and what Dems say and do. From the base to the top. I don't want to hear what any r's, from rwnj to traditional r's, have to say about what happened to their party and how they can fix it and their political strategies for 2024. It is probably useful for DNC to hear it, but no help to me.

(34,097 posts)i thought fuck her, fuck them both. i did not watch it. and i haven't watched it.
meet the press wanted to suck up to repukes so badly for their ratings and to draw the trumpers in, they can have at it. i'm out.
there are better things i can do on a sunday morning than tune into that crap mix of a show, like make breakfast and watch face the nation for a half hour

(1,530 posts)Was on acid when he operated on her? Her nose looks like it's melting, her eyes look like they've been pulled a good few inches towards her ears, trout lips, natch, but it looks like it's painful for her to open her mouth because the tuck was too tight.
But maybe she wanted to be Exhibit A for Bad Plastic Surgery.

(12,416 posts)Most everyone has some cosmetic help as they age. Im all for some help to fight old Father Time. At age 77, my blond hair stays blond thanks to my beauty shop, and I wouldnt be caught without my moisturizer, lipstick and mascara. Some people go for the more radical plastic doll face look the minute the first wrinkle is observed.
Who cares? Im more concerned about what comes out of those filler plumped lips.
NanaCat
(1,530 posts)I'm worried that she has a bad doctor, and, much as I despise her, nobody deserves to have bad medical care.

(7,874 posts)after the hiring, firing, and massive payout of Meghan Kelly...and now NBC hires Trump shill Ronna McDaniel to do what exactly..offer personal insight into Donnie, like "fess up" and admit Trump forced her out of a job, a job she was so desperate to hold on to she agreed the RNC would cover Trump's multi-million dollar legal bills?...I'm not clairvoyant but I see another NBC fuckup and another massive payout in the not so distant future...the definition of insanity is very strong in NBC masterminds...

(8,626 posts)If you watch NBC shows like Press the Meat, well there she is. That just doesn't fly with me. She's either worth having on all their channels or not. Now if she's going to sit back and let us blow up her every thought balloon, I might entertain the idea for a minute, but we all know that's not what's going to happen now, don't we?

(1,530 posts)They get their license fee revenue from cable subscribers, whether or not a subscriber watches. Last I knew, they pulled down over $300 million per year that way.
FakeNoose
(32,908 posts)Ronna McDaniel was given a contract from NBC the parent company - but not to appear on MSNBC the cable news station that many of us watch. It's become obvious that MSNBC won't use her on air, and the fact is they probably never intended to use her.
Maybe she's getting a podcast? I don't know. If she's ever in the same room with Rachel, Lawrence or most of the others, she'll get her ass handed to her.
Warpy
(111,456 posts)I think they knew full well if they trotted her out on MSNBC, people would just switch off.
If she talks over Fatso's stump speeches the way talking heads have always talked over Democrats, she'll earn her keep.
Other than that, she'll most likely fade away after the election.

(81,603 posts)1) She's a Republican.
2) She's been a pretty high-level operative for the opposition. Can she REALLY be trusted? And how much is she getting paid?
3) Did I mention she's a Republican?
calimary
(81,603 posts)She's the last person on earth I want to hear ANYTHING from. Anything except maybe for "I was wrong,"I'm sorry," and "Please forgive me".
And dumber.

(51,286 posts)MSNBC has a liberal audience that wouldn't buy any bullshit Ronna spewed. However, the entire NBC audience is not comprised of liberals. She'll be vomiting lies to the politically naive and uninvolved.

(44,270 posts)Afterwards Chuck Todd talked about how horrible Ronna is. So we shall see.
Theres a thread about this in GD.
