‘It’s Good Television to Have People With Different Points of View Arguing,’ Fox News Contributor Tells Four Panelists Who Immediately Agree

Fox News hosts denounced NBC News over the Ronna McDaniel hiring controversy, saying it’s a good thing to have disparate voices at a network.

NBC News announced last week that they had hired on the former RNC chair as a political analyst. On Sunday, Kristen Welker interviewed McDaniel in a contentious Meet The Press sit-down that later inspired Chuck Todd  to accuse NBC of blurring the lines of journalistic ethics.

Sean Duffy, who appeared on Outnumbered Monday, claimed, “Ronna McDaniel is going to earn every cent they’re going to pay her because they are not going to be nice to her.”

He continued:

They do not treat people like Fox treats Jessica Tarlov or Harold Ford Jr. Not at all. And so, it begs the question — you should want — it’s good television to have people from different points of view having an argument, a conversation. Because, if you can’t do it on TV, how do you expect the country to do it?

HARRIS FAULKNER: I love that.

DUFFY: Come on NBC! Bring in different points of view and have a debate. Are you afraid that your viewers might actually agree with conservatives watching your network? Well, then go back and work on your ideas if you are afraid of the conservatives with great points of view, that your viewers might actually like.

Rebeccah Heinrichs added, “By the way, maybe this is why Democrats are always surprised when whole swaths of the country don’t vote the way they think they ought because of their skin color, because they don’t actually understand that immigrants here actually care, for instance, about a secure border, and it’s not just about their skin color. Listen to the other side.”
