After NBC News announced they'd hired former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel as a contributor, the collective journalistic hyperventilation at that network was immediate and massive. How dare a Republican soil the sanctity of the super-objective reporting/commenting on the outlet that employs former Dem staffers as serious unbiased newspeople!
Propagandists posing as "serious, unbiased newspeople," that is.
Now there's reportedly a new concern at NBC News:
Max Tani (@maxwelltani) ~ New: NBC News staff are concerned that the hiring and abrupt firing of Ronna McDaniel will damage relationships with GOP sources, making it more difficult to break news. Some Republicans have been complaining to journalists at the network about the move.

BWHA HA HA HA HA HA!!! After all their hypocritical meltdown over the on-again-off-again hiring of a squeamish milquetoast RINO like Ronna McDaniel, NOW these caterwauling two-year-olds are worried they have somehow "damaged relationships with GOP sources"???!!! ROTFLMAO! The only relationships you pathetic hypocrites have with the "GOP" are with Democrats-in-Republican-clothing, like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. Every other Republican already knows you are leperous and won't touch you with a 10-ft. pole. Wow ... NBC and its fellow Democrat propaganda media outlets are just the modern day version of Romper Room.
After all the BS that's been peddled on that network, The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway is among those rolling her eyes:
Mollie (@MZHemingway) ~ The Russia collusion lie, the Kavanaugh smear, the J6 hysteria, Biden sycophancy, rabid anti-GOP treatment on every issue were all fine but firing the single Republican on an otherwise all-Democrat staff after 48 hours of meltdown is too much? OK.
It's quite hilarious that NBC News would still like everybody to believe they actually care about presenting both sides of stories.
They haven't cared about being objective for the past 60 years or more. In fact, for a long time now, they have blatantly spit their bias in the face of America, which is why they are roundly mistrusted and despised by a VERY large portion of the American public.
Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) ~ But I thought NBC showed they don't need Republicans. They have Valerie Jarrett's kid and Jen Psaki to tell them what's going on with Democrats.
What they do is find "Republicans" who will say anything their viewers want to hear for a paycheck (i.e. ex RNC Chair Michael Steele on MSNBC).
I'm not sure that Ronna McDaniel would have ended up being as pathetic as Michael Steele, but I think she would have been a predictable RINO squish - just like her ridiculous father.
segmentum (@segmentum1) ~ Why are they worried about no Republican news sources? Your top anchors can simply make up news and false narratives like they have always done. Your viewers won’t know the difference if it’s lies, and won’t really care, either.
Chuck Ross (@ChuckRossDC) ~ They shouldn't worry. Any GOP source who would talk to NBC journos in the first place won't suddenly blacklist them over this.
If they would still talk to NBC News at this point the term "GOP sources" should be used with the most exaggerated finger quotes possible.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
