Yes to censorship and no to credibility.

NBC News Cuts Ties With Ronna McDaniel After Network Firestorm. The New York Times reported it this way: Facing an extraordinary on-air revolt by its leading stars, NBC’s top news executive said on Tuesday that he had decided to cut ties with Ms. McDaniel, the former chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, who was hired last week as an on-air political commentator. Her tenure at NBC lasted four days. Ms. McDaniel’s appointment, announced with fanfare on Friday, was immediately criticized by reporters at the network and viewers on social media. Fans of MSNBC, NBC’s left-leaning cable arm, were particularly outraged... After listening to the legitimate concerns of many of you, I have decided that Ronna McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor,” Cesar Conde, the chairman of the NBCUniversal News Group, wrote in a staff memo on Tuesday. “No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned,” Mr. Conde continued. “Over the last few days, it has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal.” Well, that confirms it. Credibility is not the issue, censorship is. NBC buckled under radical internal censorship pressure. Rather than improve the network and broaden the thinking of the 'stars' employed there, NBC decided to leave the 'stars' in charge and keep their news heads stuck in the sand. “We welcome Republican voices,” prime-time host Joy Reid added later that day. “The reality is: This isn’t a difference of opinion. She literally backed an illegal scheme to steal an election in the state of Michigan.” Reality? What a joke. That really means we (MSNBC) welcome someone who will call themselves Republican, but agree with us. Someone who challenges our opinions must obviously be criminals and be prosecuted. Unless, of course, your name is Hillary Clinton, in which case you can come on our network anytime and complain about the 2016 election being stolen by the Russians while we fawn all over you. Or, anyone who will now say that we are again in danger of the Russians stealing the 2024 election for Donald Trump. Reality? Journalism? Support Democrat political narratives, yes. Propaganda, yes. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said it best: "Apparently the only Republicans that NBC can tolerate are Republicans who support Joe Biden." More From The Washington Post (subscription required):
