04:20 PM EDT, 03/26/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Comcast's ( CMCSA ) NBC News is reportedly reconsidering hiring former Republican National Committee head Ronna McDaniel as a paid contributor due to internal backlash from top on-air personalities, according to media reports Tuesday.

Senior NBC News executives are in talks about the status of McDaniel after the backlash, the Wall Street Journal said, citing people familiar with the situation.

In the last two days, NBC and MSNBC hosts publicly criticized their networks' decision to provide a significant platform to McDaniel, citing her repeated baseless claims regarding the 2020 presidential election, Bloomberg reported, citing a person familiar with the matter.

Comcast ( CMCSA ) didn't immediately respond to request for comment by MT Newswires.
