In a shocking move to distance itself from the Ronna McDaniel scandal, NBC News hired Andrew Tate as Chief Eclipse Correspondent. NBC will send Tate via hot air balloon to several locations on the path of totality, where he will report on the celestial phenomenon with accurate astrological information. 

“This Eclipse is designed by radical feminist to steal the virility of young Alpha males,” said the newest member of the NBC team. Tate says that he jumped on the chance to spread the truth about the eclipse and save the finest generation of Alphas since World War II.

NBC was criticized last month when it hired former RNC Chair Ronna McDaneil as a political correspondent. The move caused a backlash from viewers and network personalities alike and forced NBC to relieve McDaniel of her duties. An NBC spokesperson said Tate’s hire reinforces the network’s commitment to excellence and journalistic integrity. 

Tate says that his first report on Eclipse Day will be from Kerrville, Texas, where he will urge young males ages 18-49 to stare at the eclipse bare-eyed in order to reverse the feminist sperm-killing gravitational pull. When asked why he decided to work for the Peacock Network over CNN or Fox News, Tate giggled at the word cock.
