New York CNN —Cesar Conde has a decision to make — and it’s not an especially difficult one.
The NBCUniversal News Group chair is facing a torrent of backlash from his own staff after greenlighting the hire of former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel as a paid network contributor.
It does not take a brilliant political mind with prescient foresight to understand that hiring McDaniel would ignite a firestorm of outrage — from both within 30 Rock and outside it.
After all, which NBC or MSNBC program is going to invite her on after all of this?
I asked his spokesperson, Stephen Labaton, on Monday whether the NBCU News Group boss had any comment on the situation.
