On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “11th Hour,” host and NBC News Senior Business Analyst Stephanie Ruhle said that Democrats struggled to talk about the economy because “telling the truth about a complicated economy” is “Complicated and nuanced.” And “we don’t have one economy” in such a large country and it’s “hard to explain” all of that. While discussing Democrats in the 2024 election, Ruhle stated, “They didn’t do a great job talking about the economy. You know why? Because telling the truth about a complicated economy, you know what it is? Complicated and nuanced. And in a country of 330...

MSNBC’s Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle will reportedly need to take a pay cut if they want to remain in their anchor chairs as the struggling cable network continues to cut costs. The left-leaning news channel — which recently gave star anchor Rachel Maddow a $5 million-a-year haircut from her annual $30 million haul — has been negotiating with Reid and Ruhle on new deals at reduced salaries, according to the Ankler newsletter. The controversial Reid is believed to be earning $3 million a year to host her nightly 8 p.m. show, “The ReidOut,” according to the Washington Free Beacon....

Vice President Kamala Harris gave her first solo interview Wednesday on cable news as the Democratic Party’s nominee for president, and failed to answer questions even in a friendly interview by MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle. Ruhle — who faced criticism for comments Friday in which she had defended Ruhle from having to face questions about her policies — asked Harris pointed questions and even fact-checked some of her repeated talking points. When Harris tried to claim, falsely — as she has in the past — that “Donald Trump left us with the worst economy since the Great Depression” (it was, in...

Former President Trump issued a lengthy and blistering attack on Bill Maher Saturday after the late night host and his guests weighed in on the Republican presidential nominee’s recently claim that if he lost the election, “the Jewish people would have a lot to do” with it.“The ratings challenged Bill Maher, on his increasingly boring show on HBO, is really having a hard time coping with TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. He is a befuddled mess, sloppy and tired, and every conversation, with B and C list guests, seems to start with, or revert back to, ME!,” Trump thundered on Truth Social....

MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle called upon the president of Chicago’s Federal Reserve to tell viewers that they are economically far better off than they think. "We need an economic explainer," the MSNBC host said. "People are confused, they’re exhausted, but they’re also doing quite well." Ruhle, who hosts MSNBC’s "The Eleventh Hour," had been discussing a recent Federal Reserve report that "shows people are still struggling to cover day-to-day expenses, even as inflation has slowed." She noted how some major brands are responding by enticing consumers with slashed prices, "Target says it is cutting prices on 5,000 essential items, things...

Woke MSNBC commentator and comedian Judy Gold piled on Sen. Lindsey Graham for his anti-abortion stance, questioning how he can tell a woman what to do with her body when 'he's never seen a vagina -- he's never seen a naked woman.' The wisecrack on the cable channel's news recap show 'The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle,' sent the host and other panelists into fits of laughter at the conservative Republican's expense. Gold jumped in during Friday's episode to point out that an attempt in Kansas to create a state constitutional ban on the procedure failed.

Anyone who's ever listened to Stephanie Ruhle's commentary on either NBC Nightly News or her failing daytime show on MSNBC will realize she is extremely partisan and very dumb when it comes to basic economics. She proved this once again during a segment on Wednesday night's NBC Nightly News when she made the preposterous claim that when the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, it means "the economy is doing well." During a segment on the announcement from the Federal Reserve that the central bank will keep interest rates close to zero and begin raise rates in March, anchor Lester Holt...

MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle argued Americans have to put the high inflation rate and rising costs of food and other every day items "in perspective" on Sunday. The consumer price index rose 6.2% year over year in October, according to the Department of Labor, the largest annual gain since November 1990. And prices rose 0.9% month over month. But the soaring costs, Ruhle said on NBC, were expected after the worldwide pandemic, before telling anchor Willie Geist that Americans "on average" can actually afford the higher prices. "The dirty little secret here, Willie, while nobody likes to pay more, on average,...

NBC News senior business correspondent and MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle said Sunday on “Today” that the “dirty little secret” about soaring inflation was, on average, people have the money to pay more for goods.

Is a "retweet" by White House chief of staff Ron Klain partly responsible for President Joe Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandate taking another loss in federal court? What happened? The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit again ruled against President Joe Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandate Friday. According to the court, the mandate — which is enforced as an emergency temporary standard via the Occupational Safety and Health Administration — is "likely unconstitutional." The court explained: The Constitution vests a limited legislative power in Congress. For more than a century, Congress has routinely used this power to delegate policymaking specifics...

NBC News continues to bury its credibility by promoting MSNBC liberal anchor Stephanie Ruhle to be their new senior business correspondent. Page Six reported NBC News’ decision to elevate Ruhle Jan. 2, stating that the notoriously anti-Trump journo “will appear across their flagship shows including ‘Today’ and ‘NBC Nightly News.’” This is the same anchor who got a Chris Matthews-like “thrill” up the leg for “astute,” and “very powerful” Sen. Kamala Harris’ (D-CA) role in President Donald Trump’s impeachment proceedings after she dropped out of the Democratic presidential primary late last year. Ruhle drooled: “This is going to be her...

MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle’s relationship with Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank raised eyebrows when a Wall Street Journal report Thursday detailed the cable news host’s alleged affair -- including everything from allegedly using NBC News to run damage control for Under Armour to offering advice on dealing with President Trump. The report by Khadeeja Safdar headlined, “Meet Under Armour CEO’s Unusual Adviser: An MSNBC Anchor,” details Ruhle’s relationship with the workout gear honcho that includes flying on his private...

Former talk show host Phil Donahue appeared on MSNBC Wednesday morning to analyze the relationship between the media and President Trump. Donahue told the press to be "big boys and big girls" and not get in "the punching game" with Trump. Donahue said this all began in 2011 when the media made a joke out of Trump and now he is the one who is laughing "and giving them a middle finger." "The people who are beating up Trump are the people that are getting beat up by Trump will fall of their own weight," Donahue said. MSNBC host Stephanie...

MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle falsely claimed on her show Friday morning that Fox News had its Christmas party at President-elect Donald Trump’s hotel in Washington, D.C. . . . “Think about the hotel in Washington right now. The RNC [Republican National Committee] is having their Christmas party there. Fox News had their Christmas party there. That doesn’t feel a little hanky?” Ruhle asked. . . . Ruhle issued an apology later in the day during the 2 p.m. broadcast of MSNBC Live explaining that her comment was wrong and she made a mistake

Tuesday on MSNBC, host Stephanie Ruhle was interviewing Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton supporter and the former Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D-MI), she turned to the crowd of young people behind her and asked “So Hillary Clinton as a candidate, do you feel connected to her? I want to ask the woman in the room.” The crowd screamed loudly, “No!”
