In addition, it appears that the MSNBC on-air crew have staged an on-air strike. They're not spending their hour talking all about news and politics elsewhere--they're spending quality on-air time talking about management's politics.

On Group Speak/Group Think and NBC
I usually find the calamity of business decisions fascinating. NBC's decision to hire Ronna McDaniel as an on-air contributor at $300,000 per year will be a case study in management failure.My predictions, NBC will:
- Circle the management wagons to protect the decision makers and the decision
- Release a statement justifying the decision and pointing to some business goal
- Try and console and convince those internal voices that over time this decision will be seen as the correct direction
- Play with what an "on-air contributor's" role is in McDaniel's case, even inventing new rolesUltimately, NBC will:
- Apologize to the internal staff for this decision
- Find some way to release McDaniel so that she doesn't sue NBC
- Eventually accept the resignation of one or more decision makersThe controversy within NBC and the external condemnation are results that any business analyst outside of the "Group" would have foreseen.
