- Some of the highest-profile journalists at NBC are pushing back against the network's hiring of Ronna McDaniel.
- Chief political analyst Chuck Todd on Sunday said many at NBC are "uncomfortable" with the McDaniel hire.
- On Monday, "Meet the Press" hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski said McDaniel wouldn't appear on their program.
After NBC News announced that it had hired former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel as a paid contributor late last week, the pushback from media critics was immediate.
