MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow ‘takes seven-figure pay cut’ as ratings plummet amid NBC uncertainty
MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow will reportedly take a $5 million pay cut as the cable television network's ratings continue to nosedive.

‘Give Us the Proof!’ MSNBC Contributor Presses Sage Steele for Pushing Claims About Post-Birth Abortions in Heated Exchange
Ex-ESPN anchor Sage Steele was asked by MSNBC contributor Brian Tyler Cohen to provide proof of the post-birth abortions she claimed happen in the U.S. during a heated debate on Piers Morgan Uncensored Thursday. Steele and Cohen sparred over a number of topics centered around gender issues — including abortion. During their conversation, Cohen took issue with Steele claiming that some states allow a baby to be aborted after it’s born. Donald Trump has also pushed these claims despite the fact that no state legally allows someone to kill a baby after birth, although more nuanced pro-life advocates argue that the issue is about withheld medical care, rather than executions.

BREAKING: MSNBC Hosts Report ‘Panicked’ Biden Inner Circle Discussing Dropping Out
Several MSNBC hosts reported on Thursday evening that members of President Joe Biden’s circle and the Democratic Party were “panicked” at his performance during the CNN debate against former President Donald Trump and were discussing what to do next. Following the debate, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow noted, “It was hard to hear what he was saying because his voice was so weak and his halting delivery in his first couple of answers has got to have put a shock into the campaign.” MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace then revealed, “I was on the phones for some of it after that became clear and there is a conversation happening inside Biden’s circle, and certainly a much more frank conversation happening inside the Democratic coalition, and I think there will be stories of a lot of concern about the performance tonight.”

MSNBC Doesn't Plan to Put Ex-RNC Chief Ronna McDaniel on the Network
MSNBC president Rashida Jones told employees that the liberal-leaning news network has no plans to put new NBC News contributor Ronna McDaniel on the cable outlet, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing an internal memo. The news comes after NBC News hired former Republican National Committee chair McDaniel as an on-air contributor, leading to rage among members of the MSNBC staff that spilled over onto social media. There have been questions internally around whether McDaniel would appear on MSNBC. Several staffers spoke out, including MSNBC columnist Marisa Kabas. She posted an email she'd sent to NBC News management on social media which questioned McDaniel's hire. "I want to understand what kind of message this is supposed to send to us?" Kabas wrote in the email. "As columnists we are held to strict standards of factuality and truth, and are expected to have a fundamental understanding of our democracy. McDaniel has proven time and again she adheres to none of those values, and lacks that very basic understanding." (The Wrap 3/23/24) READ MORE>>>>>

Ari Melber and Andrew Sullivan battled on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher — when the MSNBC host retaliated to Sullivan’s claim that the network pushes “propaganda all the time.” Bill Maher had the two as guests on Friday, and the dust-up began as Sullivan argued that America’s political divisions were caused by Democrats becoming increasingly leftist in recent years as a response to Donald Trump. As a result, Sullivan argued, “we are losing the legitimacy of the system and that is the critical thing.” (Ken Meyer/MediaIte 1/21/28) READ MORE>>>>> |

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow has defended the news outlet for not airing Donald Trump’s speech following his victory in the Iowa caucuses.
Ms Maddow said that MSNBC could not air “lies” to its viewers while adding the network and other news outlets only care about reporting the truth. “The reason I’m saying this is, of course, there is a reason that we and other news organizations have generally stopped giving an unfiltered, live platform to remarks by former President Trump,” she said. CNN host Jake Tapper was also heard interrupting Trump’s speech as the former president spoke about the border crisis. “A relatively subdued speech as the things go so far. Although, here he is, right now, under my voice. You can hear him repeating his anti-immigrant rhetoric,” Mr Tapper said. |
