We have a curious addition to the NBC/Ronna McDaniel timeline:

Trump and the RNC fire Ronna McDaniel.
2. NBC hires Ronna McDaniel.
3. NBC fires Ronna McDaniel.
4. Trump and the RNC make a martyr OUT of Ronna McDaniel.
5. RNC threatens NBC over Ronna McDaniel.
Per Politico the RNC is “weighing whether to restrict NBC’s access to this summer’s convention…’We are taking a hard look at what this means for NBC’s participation at the convention,” says a spokesperson.

OK how would limiting NBC’s access to the RNC bullshit festival HURT NBC News? What Republicans watch NBC News? They checked out 30 years ago! So why would NBC worry? Maybe because of something Judd Legum dug up at his marvelous site "Popular Information." Of all the major corporations that vowed after January 6 to never donate to election deniers again, you know which true broadcasting company has breached its promise and donated the MOST to election deniers?

Comcast/NBC. $787,500.

Coincidence no doubt.

Could there be any connection between this and the fact that nobody has made headlines out of the amazing poll shift: Trump and TrumpLeaning Undecideds: 50. Biden and BIDENLeaning Undecideds: 50. And that's in a poll so skewed towards the Republicans (the HarvardHarris poll) that a Harvard school paper columnist wrote about it: “Harvard Should Break Up With The Harris Poll” because the university is quote “lending its name to a methodologically flawed poll that often promotes a rightwing political agenda.”

And it's still showing the kind of Biden surge his campaign predicted months ago, once the undecideds found out Trump really would be the GOP nominee. Plus, in the Bloomberg swing states poll that America erupted over when Trump led in seven states, Biden has moved ahead in one, tied in two others, and has improved in three more. Funny that these poll results aren't as big deal as the prothump ones were.
