9. It's disconcerting that at least three high profile women were involved in McDaniels hiring

Carrie Budhoff Brown, Rebecca Blumenstein and Rashida Jones (along with male Cesar Conde). No doubt it's not been an easy road for the three women to rise to the top of the power structure at NBC. For some reason I expect better judgement from women in positions of power. There are calls for all four to step down. We'll see what happens by the time the McDaniel mess gets swamped by other stories. But even if they survive, their reputations will be diminished.
