McDaniel at the 2018 Young Women's Leadership Summit (WikiMedia Commons)

I think it was only yesterday that I saw that Ronna McDaniel, former Chair of the Republican National Committee got a job as a contributor at NBC News. I probably wouldn't have even known she got the job, except that a bunch of the on-air talent was throwing a fit over her hiring.

She lasted less long than Kevin D. Williamson when he was hired by The Atlantic.

One would think that the executives making hiring decisions at these places would know their existing personnel well enough to predict the outrage that comes from hiring a Republican.

Apparently not.

    In some sort of weird comparison, Fox News hired DNC chair Donna Brazile as a commentator from 2019 to 2021.

    Heh.

    They can't go around hiring talented people to appear on-air. It would make the rest of them look bad.

    I hope she had some guarantee in her contract or a signing bonus.
