As protests from on-air talent mounted, NBC News reversed its decision to hire former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel. After a meeting among NBC bosses March 26, including NBCUniversal News Group chairman Cesar Conde, NBC News has cut ties with McDaniel.
“No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned,” Conde said in a memo to staff. “Over the last few days, it has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal.”
