From Joy to Stephanie, each of the evening hosts got their hits in. No one pulled any punches. It was glorious.

"Glorious" is the right word.
Rachel did the best framing for the story. After listening to her intro, it was easy to understand why this is such a serious issue. Rachel told how fascists pitch to the strong man to "clean up" governance, or so they think. She went into history and showed four individuals that she has talked about before on her podcast and in her book. I laughed when she named their political parties and asked us if we recognized the names of any of them. Had to say nope, don't remember that. They were all people who attempt strongman status, either for themselves or in the case of Charles Coughlin, through some politician.
Another discussion I liked was Stephanie Ruhle's, who talked about how she felt about delivering the news accurately on her show. Others expressed something similar and you could see that their professionalism as news people was insulted by the attempt to bring this McDaniel person on.
It's gonna' be a long time before that boss lives this down, if she ever does.

And in a way, they sort of are, as they are clearly lacking in empathy, across the board.

(16,843 posts)As all eloquently went "there" using facts as to who Ronna Romney McDaniel is so that there was no discrepancies. NBC surely fucked up in hiring her as a political pundit. I am certain that NBC will reconsider and dismiss her forthwith.
