While answering questions in the Oval Office on Thursday, the US president hit out at Nicolle Wallace and Rachel Maddow, saying they "should be forced to resign."

The US president then criticized Rachel, attacking her credibility, as he said, "And Rachel Maddow should be forced to resign. Nobody watches her anyway. I don't know if - it's not possible they pay her as much money as...

NBC had argued that its segments focused on the accusations that Amin had performed "unnecessary and unconsented-to medical procedures on detainees at ICDC, including large numbers of hysterectomies," according to the legal filings. Judge Wood said the actual focus was on "mass hysterectomies," citing the amount of time spent on the question, and the network's headlines, including "WHISTLEBLOWER: HIGH NUMBER OF HYSTERECTOMIES AT ICE DETENTION CTR." and "COMPLAINT: MASS HYSTERECTOMIES PERFORMED ON WOMEN AT ICE FACILITY." Amin received death threats and bomb threats, lost patients, lost the ability to provide medical service to the ICE facility as a result of...

The network settled the lawsuit for an undisclosed sum Thursday, avoiding a jury trial that was scheduled to begin on April 22 in Georgia’s Southern District.

Rachel Maddow ripped into Elon Musk on Wednesday in a segment that had a lot of people riled up, claiming that Elon Musk had somehow convinced the State Department to buy $400 million in armored Tesla units. This may be the lamest Maddow attack ever (and that's saying something) as she desperately tried to mock Musk. How bizarre these folk on the left are when their craziness is all they have to show. ... Well now, as the top campaign donor to U.S. President Donald Trump, Elon Musk has somehow convinced the U.S. government — specifically the U.S. Department of...

Left-wing cable news channel MSNBC is back to foaming at the mouth about Donald Trump. Anchors Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid went off the deep-end while covering Inauguration Day, both aghast at the prospect of a democratically elected president making good on his policy promises that decisively swept him into office. “How is this happening in America?” Maddow asked incredulously at the sight of Department of Homeland Security nominee Kristi Noem seated beside Apple CEO Tim Cook at the inauguration ceremony, Mediaite reported. “How is this happening? Why are people with tons of money up on the dais with cabinet...

Keith Olbermann blasted his former protégé Rachel Maddow for lacking “principle” after the MSNBC host reportedly signed a rich new contract to stay at the network — despite layoff fears and cratering ratings at the left-leaning cable channel. Olbermann, who hosted the MSNBC prime time show “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” from 2003 to 2011, responded on X to journalist Jeff Jarvis’ observation that the Comcast-owned network “might have to change its identity” after parent company Comcast announced plans to spin off its cable assets. Jarvis then wondered whether Maddow — who reportedly signed a five-year, 125-million deal last month on...

MSNBC’s ratings have been in free fall since Election Day — including for its star anchor, Rachel Maddow — with the left-leaning network’s audience shriveling by nearly half as staffers panic inside the halls of 30 Rock. Maddow — who reportedly has agreed to take a $5 million-a-year pay cut with a new, five-year contract worth $25 million a year — has seen her ratings tumble, stoking fears that her outsize compensation heightens the risk of layoffs among the rank and file. Despite one exec reportedly gushing that the 51-year-old anchor is “ratings Viagra,” since Nov. 5 the “Rachel Maddow...

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said Tuesday on “The Reid Out” that she was “grateful” for Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris and her speech at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C. because it will “effectively reconsecrate” the ground. Maddow said, “I don’t know about what I expect to hear. We all know there’s excerpts around. We have been told by the campaign what to expect in terms of overall themes. We have seen her on the stump doing so many interviews, so many appearances, so many rallies. We can kind of surmise contextually what she might say tonight, but I...

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow warned Monday that Republicans on election boards across the country could refuse to certify the 2024 election results should former President Trump lose in November. “Election boards across the country now include Republican officials who have not only propounded Mr. Trump’s lies about the last presidential election being ‘stolen,’ they have tested how far they can go in denying the certification of the vote,” Maddow wrote in an op-ed published with The New York Times. Maddow argued the spread of what she called “refusenik Republicans” began in 2020, when Trump and then-Republican National Committee Chair Ronna...

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said on her network’s breaking news coverage of President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race that she is “blown away” by his patriotism. Maddow said, “I mean, this is just, this is history at large, you know? We all will remember where we were and what we were doing at this moment. What a man, what a patriot. Um, what is selfless devotion to your country. He has been a phenomenal president. He brought us back from COVID. He gave us the best recovery from COVID of any major nation on earth at a time...

The stalemate in the Democratic Party is likely to continue for some time, as Joe Biden awkwardly made it through his "big boy" press conference. Biden may have done enough to survive for the time being—albeit barely—but at what cost? Democrats are still worried he's going to lose big, and Joe Biden still believes that he is the Democrat best positioned to defeat Donald Trump. "The consideration is that I think I'm the most qualified person to run for president. I've beat him once and I will beat him again. Secondly, the idea I served in the Senate for a...
