Rachel Maddow reportedly will go on hiatus from her primetime talk show on MSNBC to focus on movie and podcast projects, including a film directed by Ben Stiller.

Maddow told staffers at the left-leaning, Comcast-owned network that she will step aside for a few weeks to devote time to her side projects, Business Insider reported on Monday.

She is expected to announce the move to viewers during Monday night’s broadcast.

Maddow will executive produce a Focus Features movie based on her book and podcast, “Bag Man,” about a political bribery scandal.

The tell is Stiller’s involvement. He’s a democrat party activist. If this is about midterms as I suspect, they’re on a hard schedule to get the film done, probably with full network support.

What she will soon learn is that Media is a finicky mistress. The ratings for her show will go UP in her absence and she will be unceremonially sacked.

They want to see if her show will do better without her. It will.

“left-leaning”?

Far left, or extreme left would have been more accurate.

She must be playing Stiller’s identical twin.
