On Sirius XM’s The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly and the hosts of the Fifth Column podcast discussed McDaniel’s firing and the potential for more heads to roll at NBC. The panel didn’t hold back, casting doubts on the motives behind NBC News Chairman Cesar Conde’s call for a “cohesive and aligned” newsroom, suggesting it could lead to a purge of dissenting voices. They even poked fun at the idea of “real leadership” at the network.
To add insult to injury, McDaniel’s tenure at NBC was as fleeting as a shooting star, lasting a mere four days. Her contract, reportedly worth a whopping $300,000 a year for two years, went up in smoke just as swiftly as it came into existence.
