"McDaniel was offered a more lucrative contributor contract after she agreed to appear on MSNBC and not just NBC News"

I may write about the irony of all of this for my weekend blog post.

NBC offered Ronna McDaniel a better contract to appear on MSNBC

The cable channel was part of the broad push to clinch a contributor deal for McDaniel, whose hiring caused an uproar.

The Washington Post

This is the problem right here:

"In a friendly call between Jones and McDaniel, the two spoke about the . . need to have differing views on the airwaves."

People don't need "differing views."

They need facts.

The way MSNBC presents "news" the facts gets lost in an avalanche of opinions, speculation, and conjecture.

They are making their viewers less informed and angrier.

@Teri_Kanefield this to me is cable news, period.
