Playbook today:
"McDaniel expects to be fully paid out for her contract, two yrs at $300k annually, since she did not breach its terms, we’re told-meaning that her single, not-quite-20-minute interview Sunday could cost the Peacock more than $30k per minute, or $500 per second"👇

"[McDaniel] and her allies are, unsurprisingly, furious about how everything went down, believing she was misled about how much she’d be welcomed into the fold by executives who had aggressively recruited her." 👇

"Most of all, they’re furious that the network did little to push back on a multi-day campaign against their new hire on their own airwaves."

So Ronna could clean up in a settlement
Or this could be deemed not actionable by a Judge

Alas what is MAGA if not outraged
About everything
All the time..

My bet right now is she settles for full payment of her contract. Defamation won't go anywhere, but she didn't do anything to void that contract after signing it.

This was probably her backup plan. Get a ridiculous salary and bounce. She’s ruined the credibility of a news organization and made them pay for it

NBC doesn’t even pay some of its best contributors nearly that much and plenty must feel completely insulted. Leadership needs an overhaul over this

Maybe other news agency will learn from mistakes of others. Probably not but still hope.

Maybe NBC will learn political operatives don't contracts.
