MSNBC host Rachel Maddow may be on her way out.Her show, the aptly named “The Rachel Maddow Show,” has been the top-rated show on MSNBC for a while and, as of April 2021, was in fourth place for all cable news shows behind Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” which came in at number one, “Hannity,” which was number two and “The Five” at number three, Ad Week reported.But now, the 48-year-old Maddow, whose net worth was estimated by Yahoo at $25 million, is strongly considering leaving MSNBC, The Daily Beast reported.According to six people familiar with the situation, Maddow, 48,...

While the legal filings in the criminal probe into the Trump Organization do not directly prove Trump's knowledge of the alleged crimes, the former daughter-in-law of Trump's money man is now doing just that. Jennifer Weisselberg told prosecutors Trump personally guaranteed the scheme to hide employee income through school costs and that she saw Trump do so in 2012, according to the Daily Beast.

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show,” White House Chief Medical Adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci stated that the recent criticisms of him are “really very much an attack on science,” and “the thread going through what’s happening now is very much an anti-science approach.” Host Rachel Maddow asked, “Am I building you up to be thicker-skinned about this than you are? Are you actually worried about this new sort of re-upping of attacks on you?” Fauci responded, “Well, I’m concerned about that, more because it’s really very much an attack on science, I think, Rachel.” He then discussed his...

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said the "most important" story in the entire world right now is a push by Republicans to conduct audits of the 2020 election around the country, making the case for why the Biden administration should get involved. MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said the "most important" story in the entire world right now is a push by Republicans to conduct audits of the 2020 election around the country, making the case for why the Biden administration should get involved. Maddow referred to Kristen Clarke, who this week was confirmed by the Senate to lead the Civil Rights...

On Monday evening, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow spent an entire segment of her prime time show promulgating the need to replace Republicans with far-left Democrats. The partisan host invited Amanda Litman, a co-founder and executive director of the left-wing candidate recruitment operation, Run For Something, to discuss the importance of ousting any Trump-supporting GOP politicians in office. Maddow prefaced the segment by expressing her dismay and disgust over the fact that at least 57 Republican elected officials from across the country exercised their First Amendment right and attended President Trump’s rally on January 6. According to Maddow and her guest, those...

Stacey Abrams, the failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate (who still hasn’t conceded her 2018 defeat to Brian Kemp) expects Democrats Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock to win both Georgia Senate runoff elections. “I think we’re ready to get it done,” Abrams told Stephen Colbert Monday night. “I put my money on blue.” Why is she so confident? I have a hunch. Abrams was also on MSNBC Monday night, and couldn’t help patting herself on the back for getting rid of exact-match signature verification on ballots—a provision meant to verify that the voters who cast the ballots are actually the individuals...

Rachel Maddow reveals that the reason for her ongoing quarantine is that her partner, Susan, tested positive for Covid-19 and is still recovering from severe symptoms, and implores viewers to consider their loved ones when they calculate their own risk.

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow is in quarantine after she came in contact with someone who tested positive for the coronavirus. The liberal host was not on the air Friday after taking a key role in the network’s coverage of the election throughout the week. “I’ve tested negative thus far but will be at home quarantining ’til it’s safe for me to be back at work without putting anyone at risk,” she tweeted. It’s not clear if Maddow is holing up in her Manhattan apartment, which she recently put up for sale, or in her home in Massachusetts’ Berkshire Mountains. “Wishing everyone...

MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow critiqued President Donald Trump’s performance at his NBC News town hall Thursday on her show, which followed the event on MSNBC. She gave Trump low marks for his presence during the town hall, which was moderated by NBC’s Savannah Guthrie.

MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow called President Donald Trump’s return to the White House an “unnerving spectacle of the president really, visibly appearing to struggle for breath” during Monday’s broadcast of her show. Maddow said, “President Trump returned to the White House tonight after three nights spent in the hospital at Walter Reed. He staged a kind of performative return that may have tried to be a sort of triumphant ‘I beat the virus’ thing with Marine One landing right next to the White House. The president then tromping up the stairs into the White House. This may have tried to...

**SNIP** “Madam Secretary, thank you again for being here. I almost hesitate to ask you your reaction to [Republicans] doing this, but I must,” Maddow asked. “Sure, why not, I mean, it is a sign of such desperation by the Republicans,” Clinton said. “It also is a reminder that Donald Trump knows that the Russians helped him win in 2016 and that is almost the biggest reason he wants to go back to it time and time again, because he can’t come to grips with the fact that there will always be an air of illegitimacy around the 2016 campaign.”...

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow used powerful images on Tuesday of immigrant children sleeping on a floor to make a point that the Trump administration has “deliberately” hurt families -- but a pair of key photos used by the liberal host were actually from the Obama era. “In terms of permanent damage done to humans, in terms of the severity of the damage deliberately done to humans, the Trump administration, no matter what else they do, they will never ever get out from the shadow of the fact that they really did, as a policy and a deliberate practice, they really did take little kids away from their moms and dads,” she said to open "The Rachel Maddow...

Monday following the end of the first day of the Republican National Convention, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow lamented the broadcast of the event on her network, given she felt it included “false information.” Maddow said it was her impulse to want to “correct stuff,” but acknowledge such a feat would be distracting.

A federal judge on Friday dismissed a $10 million defamation lawsuit by One America News (OAN) against Rachel Maddow, finding that a "reasonable viewer" would know the MSNBC prime-time host was only offering her opinion when she called the right-leaning network "paid Russian propaganda." "Maddow had inserted her own colorful commentary into and throughout the segment, laughing, expressing her dismay (i.e., saying 'I mean, what?') and calling the segment a 'sparkly story' and one we must 'take in stride,'" Judge Cynthia Bashant wrote Friday. ...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said Wednesday that she would agree to running as vice president on the Democratic ticket with presumptive presidential candidate Joe Biden. Asked by MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow what she would say if the former vice president asked her to be his running mate, Warren said she would say yes. The comments come just hours after Warren endorsed Biden, her former primary opponent, in the race. Warren expanded on her endorsement Wednesday during her interview with Maddow, praising Biden for his empathy that she said would be beneficial in leading the country, especially amid the coronavirus pandemic. Warren...

The first quarter of 2020 was filled to the brim with news, from the impeachment trial of President Trump and the contentious Democratic primary to the growing coronavirus pandemic, but MSNBC failed to add viewers, and experts say that's a serious issue for the far-left network. “This should concern the MSNBC hierarchy,” DePauw University professor and media critic Jeffrey McCall told Fox News. Fox News grew 38 percent among total viewers during the first quarter of 2020 compared to the same time period last year, and MSNBC's liberal rival CNN grew 26 percent, while MSNBC finished the quarter with roughly...

President Trump offered rare praise for MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow after she highlighted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers's effort to respond to the outbreak of the coronavirus. "Thank you to Rachel @Maddow for putting our Military on full display, and showing how GREAT a job the Federal Government is doing," Trump tweeted Friday. "Also, a special thanks to General Semonite, a Patriot of the highest order and a truly talented engineer and builder!" Maddow brought Gen. Todd Semonite, commanding general for the corps, on her show Thursday to discuss how the federal government is creating makeshift hospitals in key...

The Trump press conferences are a problem for the anti-Trump media, because they give Trump direct access to viewers with minimal filtering by the networks. Donald Trump’s daily press conferences, attended by numerous senior health and other officials, are a must-watch. Enormous information is provided by officials, and Trump signals where he thinks the crisis is going. Trump spends an hour or more taking reporter questions, some of which are hostile. The press conferences almost certainly have large audiences, and have contributed to polling that shows strong support among the public for Trump’s handling of the crisis. This is a...

Three polls released late this week show a majority of Americans approve of President Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 Chinese coronavirus crisis. The approval numbers have risen as as Trump has led daily televised press briefings on the government’s response to the virus. By coincidence a call has gone out by liberals, led by MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, for a media blackout of the briefings because they say Trump will get people killed because of his rhetoric. The ABC News/ Ipsos poll has Trump up at 55 percent, the Harris poll at 53 percent and Survey USA at 51 percent. UPDATE:...
