1. Yes Ari read it on air

in the last hour.

[DaBronx]

2. The execs responsible for her hiring all need to resign

Full stop

They have no journalistic moral compass.

Full stop again. Sorry for the whiplash.

8. I Can't Even Make Business Sense Of It

I can't see how they would get any reasonable return on investment.
What does she really have to say & what analysis could she provide. They could find anybody cheap to mouth a party line, if they wanted "equal time".
They weren't going to pull viewers from Faux or Newsmin with her. She wasn't that high profile among the masses.
All it had the potential to do was alienate existing viewers, which it did.

[DaBronx]

10. Agreed!!

Very bad business decision all around. They all need to go.

[Johonny]

12. Dont they still have Michael Steele already

I don't see why they needed to double down on former RNC heads.

[FlyingPiggy]

11. EXACTLY THIS!! Heads need to roll for such poor lapses of judgement!!

I can’t even fathom the idea. What a bunch of tools.

[Brother Buzz]

3. Move over Scaramucci and make room for McDaniel

[DaBronx]

4. Good one !

6. Not me. I'm just riffing on this:

5. TY. Any more details?

[LiberalFighter]

7. Apparently it has been announced the last few hours.

"No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned," NBCUniversal News Group chairman Cesar Conde wrote in a Tuesday memo. "Over the last few days, it has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal."

"Our initial decision was made because of our deep commitment to presenting our audiences with a widely diverse set of viewpoints and experiences, particularly during these consequential times," he continued. "[W]e will redouble our efforts to seek voices that represent different parts of the political spectrum."

Apparently, another issue was paying her $300,000 year after NBC News had layoffs in January.

9. Oh Wow.. .. "Layoffs in January.." What they were really

trying to do is bring in some magaats and it didn't go well.

TY!
