Rachel Maddow

Filling in Monday night for boss Oliver Darcy at the far-left newsletter site Status, Jon Passantino threw a pity party for his friends at MSNBC by revealing the mockery and hilarity over its impending name change to MS-NOW has left them feeling as blue as their partisan stripes. Passantino gave away the game in the headline and subhead: “Plucking MSNBC’s Feathers; After nearly 30 years, MSNBC…

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Take of the Week?

On Monday night’s broadcast of MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, Maddow declared in a twelve-minute-long rant, “We do now live in a country that has an authoritarian leader in charge. We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country,” and later warned of masked secret police “breaking people’s car windows and snatching people off the streets … taking them away with no charges, no notice, no…

On Monday night's episode of MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, viewers were treated to a familiar ritual in left-wing media: the exploitation of tragedy to advance a partisan agenda. This time, the devastating floods in Texas served not as a moment of national unity, but as a launchpad for attacking political opponents with science as the supposed casualty.

Maddow’s conversation…

We regret to inform you that MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow had another normal one. During an interminable “No Kings” rant to open her eponymous show, she thought she was making fun of Brevard County, Florida Sheriff Wayne Ivey. Instead, she further embarrassed herself in front of her audience.

On Monday night's MSNBC airing of The Rachel Maddow Show, Maddow talked about the over militarization of federal agents, called people to action in protests against these agencies, and erroneously criticized President Trump’s handling of the L.A. riots as a “portrait of weakness.” Maddow took particular issue with federal agents wearing protective equipment to protect themselves from…

While a similarly extreme far-right candidate would have faced withering criticism from the press, the establishment media celebrated Vermont socialist Senator Bernie Sanders for his “passion” and the “seriousness” of his radical ideas.

The irony was impossible to miss on Tuesday’s edition of CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, as MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow joined the eponymous host to declare on one hand that the worst predictions about President Donald Trump have come true, but also that he and Republicans seek to get rid of elections.

Liberals may view MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow as something of an intellectual, but her Monday show disproved that notion. If all you did was listen to Maddow, you would come to the conclusion that Trump is waging war on universities simply because he can and not because they have an anti-Semitism problem.

In late February, Dr. Mahendra Amin settled his defamation suit with MSNBC (for an undisclosed amount) after they falsely claimed that he had performed medically unnecessary hysterectomies on illegal immigrant women in the custody of ICE, erroneously dubbing him “the uterus collector.” NewsBusters recently spoke with Dr. Amin’s lead counsel Georgia State Representative Stacey Evans (D) and co-…

Thus far, it has been a gloomy 2025 for the late night comedy shows as they have attacked Democrats from the left for not doing anything to stop Republicans, but on Wednesday, a trio of them claimed to have reason for optimism as they reacted to Sen. Cory Booker’s 25-hour talk. Some suggested he get an award, while others claimed he spoke for all of America, while others tried their hand at…

Democratic Sen. Cory Booker may have broken the record for the longest speech in Senate history on Tuesday, but it didn’t accomplish anything practical. Nevertheless, he joined The Rachel Maddow Show to take a victory lap while Maddow essentially worshipped the ground he walked on as she declared he “captured the moral imagination of this nation.”
