Media bias is one issue that unites all factions of the Republican Party.
Everyone in the GOP understands that the media works to elect Democrats and support their policy agenda.
But now Republicans are about to boycott NBC over this sick woke meltdown.
Backlash to NBC firing Ronna McDaniel builds
NBC bigwigs caved to a temper tantrum thrown by woke hosts protesting the network hiring former Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel as a contributor.
“After listening to the legitimate concerns of many of you, I have decided that Ronna McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor,” NBC News Group Chairman Cesar Conde wrote in a memo about firing McDaniel. “No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned. Over the last few days, it has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal.”
McDaniel lasted less than a week at NBC after leftists like former Meet the Press host Chuck Todd went on the air and slammed the idea of hiring a Republican who hadn’t gone down the Liz Cheney path and denounced Donald Trump while also effectively becoming a Democrat.
Republicans slammed NBC cowering to ideological activists and declaring NBC wouldn’t tolerate anyone appearing on its air as a paid contributor who supported Donald Trump.
Former Bush administration White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer wrote on social media that NBC announcing it was ideologically aligned with the Democrat Party – the network boasts former Democrat Party operatives and candidates like Todd, Chris Matthews, Jen Psaki and Al Sharpton as hosts and contributors – that Republicans should never again permit NBC to host a Primary debate or town hall again.
NBC should never get to host a GOP primary debate or townhall. GOP Senators/Congressmen should not go on Meet the Press. No NBC anchor should participate in a presidential debate.
What NBC is saying is if you’re for Trump, you don’t belong. Good. Let NBC be for Democrats only. https://t.co/V49RqhMzaa

McDaniel critics on the Right join in
Vivek Ramaswamy created a viral moment during a NBC televised Primary debate where he called out McDaniel to her face for allowing Meet the Press host Kristen Welker to moderate the event despite being a Russia collusion hoaxer.
Even Ramaswamy blasted the decision to sack McDaniel as “lame.”
“I would have hoped for a decision other than that one for her first move to be instantly taking a contributorship with that network,” Ramaswamy said in an interview with Semafor, “but I think it’s very lame of NBC to cower to a mob of people after they did make a decision to not give somebody who they thought was worth giving a voice to. You could debate that question, but once they’ve decided to do it, I think it’s rather lame and pathetic of them to pull it before she had a chance to contribute whatever they thought she had to contribute.”
The Donald Trump era has seen media outlets rip the mask off and announce themselves partisan allies of the Democrat Party.
NBC was just the latest network to join in.
