For the longest time, the media played this game of pretending that it doesn’t consist entirely of a bunch of leftist activists who exist to promote their political agenda and attack those of their political opponents.

The pretense is wearing thin. And who knew that Ronna McDaniel of all people would be the breaking point? But it’s kind of like the way that the media’s attacks on dishwater liberals like McCain and Romney, portraying them as Hitler 2.0 just because they posed a threat to Obama, helped kill the media’s credibility.

The attacks on McCain and Romney made it clear that it wasn’t about “conservatives” or “right-wingers”, the media was out to destroy anyone running as a Republican and would tell the same lies about them.

Now NBC News has officially banned Republicans, even ones like Ronna McDaniel, from working there.

Ceasar Conde, the Chair of NBCUniversal News, issued a statement purging Ronna McDaniel while declaring that, “no organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned.”

Conde claimed that McDaniel was hired in order to present “audiences with a widely diverse set of viewpoints”, but that gets in the way of a “cohesive and aligned” newsroom where everyone shares the same politics.

In his conclusion, Conde claims that NBC News still wants to “seek voices that represent different parts of the political spectrum.”

Just not the former fairly liberal chair of the RNC. Or anything resembling a Republican.

And that’s fine. NBC News is a Democrat organization that exists to push leftist talking points. Republicans and conservatives should publicly identify it as such over and over again.

In the past journalism was about a diverse set of views, without using the Newspeak terms, because it wasn’t “cohesive and aligned.” Now it is a leftist echo chamber. Members of that echo chamber should not be allowed to interview people they disagree with, let alone moderate their debates.

If there’s no room for Republicans at NBC News, Republicans should not be giving interviews to NBC News.
