Ryan Millsap’s apology for his messages, which were revealed by a ProPublica and Atlanta Journal-Constitution investigation, comes as influential #government and #entertainment officials said they were disappointed by his derogatory rhetoric.
It still holds for a campfire vs a house fire, or a small house fire vs a large house fire, or whatever scale you think things are. I’m curious how close you think the two paeties are though, because I don’t want to get sucked into a #bothsides discussion.
The #NBC - #RonnaMcDaniel relationship was forged last year when NBC execs wooed her to land a #Republican presidential debate, which was a high priority at the network. CNN had beat NBC in the race for a #Trump town hall, & securing a debate took on extra significance. McDaniel’s price included a rebuke to the company’s own cable network: MSNBC would not be allowed to simulcast the debate. NBC took the deal.
Thru that process #RonnaMcDaniel built a good rapport w/ #NBCNews execs Carrie Budoff Brown, snr VP of politics, & Rebecca Blumenstein, pres of editorial. McDaniel left the RNC, signed on w/ #CAA [further proving Republicans are just actors] & went looking for a TV contract.
…The #McDaniel deal was unanimously supported by leaders of all their networks, …including by …[the] president of #MSNBC.
Why would she tweet that?! We're so effed... (lemmy.world)
