Last Friday, NBC announced they had hired former RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.  Today, after much backlash over her hiring, they fired her.

Unrelated/Semi-Related story I forgot to mention earlier.  When I was recently flying out of Washington DC, I happened to be on a flight with dozens of former and current Intelligence Community bureaucrats – all from DC, and all heading to some kind of symposium.   On this flight you could watch television on your monitor, pick the channel and watch it (not a very long flight).

Every single one of the IC people from DC, including former Acting CIA Director Mike Morrell (see below), chose to watch MSNBC on their monitor.

I thought to myself, ‘this should indicate something.’  lolol But, I kept quiet and just read their emails, text messages, and whatever else I could see on their laptops 😊
