Mark Levin SLAMS Maddow’s cries of racism in wake of Reid exit: ‘That says something about you, doesn’t it, Rach?’



MSNBC (or MSLSD if you’re Mark Levin) has finally made a good decision: It fired Joy Reid, American media’s number-one misinformation-spreader, race-baiter, and radical left-wing propagandist.

If the network is wise, it’ll make another good decision and fire Rachel Maddow for her suggestion that Reid’s ousting was a result of racism and not due to Reid’s lies, unhinged tirades, and the fact that nobody watched her show.

“It is unnerving that on a network where we’ve got two — count them, two — non-white hosts in prime time, both of our non-white hosts in prime time are losing their shows … and that feels worse than bad, no matter who replaces them. That feels indefensible, and I do not defend it,” Maddow said.

“Joy Reid said the most racist and bigoted things time and time and time again, and she said it in a way that was not just provocative but could motivate people to do horrendous things,” says Levin.

And yet, Maddow claimed that “there is no colleague for whom [she has] had more affection and more respect than Joy.”

“I love everything about her; I have learned so much from her; I have so much more to learn from her,” she insisted.

“Now that says something about you, doesn’t it, Rach?” mocks Levin, noting that Maddow, who’s gay, must not know that Reid used to post anti-gay statements back when she was a blogger.

“[Maddow] is a self-righteous know-nothing. Joy Reid is a cancer in the body politic; she is a poison in the broadcast media,” he condemns.

And if Maddow really wanted to make a point, she could always quit.

“If I thought Blaze was racist or anti-Semitic, would I be here? If I thought Fox was racist or anti-Semitic, would I be there?” Levin asks rhetorically.

“You have in this country what’s called free will. … If you really believe that that network is racist, then leave,” he says.

But given that Maddow does one show a week to the tune of $25 million, what are the chances of that happening?

Not Fired, Just Demoted: Hamas Apologist Digs In at MSNBC

MSNBC didn't fire Ayman Mohyeldin, the Hamas-aligned host of a poorly rated weekend show; they just demoted him. The left-wing network announced last week it was canceling Ayman, which aired Saturdays and Sundays at 7 p.m., as part of its ongoing restructuring in the face of financial difficulties. But the controversial host isn't going anywhere.

Rachel Maddow calls her own network racist in wake of Joy Reid exit. Will she be canned next?



Joy Reid has made a tearful, dramatic exit from MSNBC after her show “The ReidOut” was canceled by the network.

Reid’s counterpart, the almost equally insufferable Rachel Maddow, has, to be expected, blamed racism for her colleague’s ousting. Never mind the fact that Reid was the most overtly racist person on television. Never mind the fact that her comments were so unhinged, her viewership was nonexistent — “59,000 views in a country of 300 million.” None of that matters to Maddow. The important thing is that someone who’s not white was fired.

Sara Gonzales plays the clip of Maddow’s comments following Reid’s exit.

“Joy Reid’s show ‘The ReidOut’ ended tonight, and Joy is not taking a different job in the network; she is leaving the network altogether, and that is very, very, very hard to take,” Maddow began.

“Personally, I think it is a bad mistake to let her walk out the door. It is not my call, and I understand that, but that's what I think. I will tell you, it is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got ... two non-white hosts in prime time, both of our non-white hosts in prime time are losing their shows, as is Katie Fang on the weekend,” she added, calling the firings “worse than bad” and “indefensible.”

“If Rachel Maddow thinks that this was a race thing, she's free to give up her prime time seat and offer it to someone who’s non-white,” says Sara.

How likely is that, though, when Maddow is paid to spew leftist talking points to the tune of $25 million a year?

BlazeTV contributor Matthew Marsden says that he anticipates Maddow will be making $0 after that little rant.

“I think she’s gone after that. You can’t do that to your own company,” he says.

Red Cross Plots Rare Ad Blitz Amid Criticism Over Participation in Hamas Propaganda. Plus, a Disturbing 'Racial Wealth Gap' Emerges at MSNBC.

The International Committee of the Red Cross doesn't do much advertising. The organization, to which American taxpayers are the largest donors, ran just five Facebook ads between 2019 and 2023, and its more recent digital spots ran exclusively in Europe, a Free Beacon review of Meta's ad spending database found. That's all changing now as the committee faces intense criticism over its participation in a series of shocking Hamas hostage release ceremonies.

Rachel Maddow Is the Boyish Face of White Supremacy at MSNBC

Joy Reid hosted the final episode of her MSNBC show on Monday, but it was her exorbitantly paid white colleague, Rachel Maddow, who made headlines later that evening by accusing her bosses of racism. "I will tell you it is also unnerving to see that on a network two, count 'em, two non-white hosts in primetime, both of our non-white hosts in primetime are losing their shows," Maddow said. "That feels worse than bad no matter who replaces them. That feels indefensible, and I do not defend it." She was referring to Reid and Alex Wagner, the half-Asian MSNBC personality who was expected to begin hosting the 9 p.m. hour in April, but that plan was scrapped. Jen Psaki, a white woman and former White House press secretary under President Joe Biden, will take over instead.

NBC Settles $30M Defamation Lawsuit After Fake News About Doctor At ICE Facilities

NBCUniversal settled a $30 million defamation lawsuit after several of the network’s biggest hosts falsely accused a Georgia doctor of unnecessarily — and without authorization — performing hysterectomies on illegal immigrants in an ICE facility. NBCUniversal reporters Julia Ainsley, Jacob Soboroff and Danielle Silva published an article in 2020 based on claims by whistleblower Dawn […]

NBC Settles Defamation Lawsuit With Georgia Doctor Whom Rachel Maddow Dubbed the ‘Uterus Collector,’ Avoiding High Stakes Trial

NBCUniversal quietly settled a $30 million defamation lawsuit filed by a Georgia doctor after MSNBC’s biggest stars—including Rachel Maddow, Nicolle Wallace, and Chris Hayes—falsely accused him of performing "mass hysterectomies" on women detained at an immigration facility during the first Trump administration and dubbed him the "uterus collector."

The media’s misinformation machine is built to last — here’s why



Liberal bias in the legacy press is nothing new, but conservatives rarely delve into the “how” and “why” behind it all. With the 2024 election — and the elite-media interference that accompanied it — behind us, the legacy press has shifted from protecting the Democratic Party to attacking it in certain cases. Three books on liberal media bias explain why the media elite’s misinformation machine may never cease.

Though it’s nearly 25 years old, Bernard Goldberg’s “Bias” remains a valuable resource. It was one of the first books to address this issue and gets to the heart of the problem within the journalism industry. The book, subtitled “A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News,” recounts Goldberg’s experience as a 28-year veteran reporter at CBS. He was fired after airing complaints to the Wall Street Journal about CBS’ growing leftward drift, including that of his boss, Dan Rather.

There is no fairness, balance, or impartiality — only straight advocacy for a hard-left agenda.

Goldberg recalls his years at CBS and elsewhere, noting that the industry attracts people who want to “change the world.” Conservatives, who value religion, heritage, nation, and family and generally do not seek to upend ancient institutions, are unlikely to fit this mold. This might explain what a friend recently told me: his graduating class of 100 at a top journalism school had about “two and a half conservatives,” himself included.

Goldberg writes that these “change the world” types don’t see themselves as biased when attacking conservative policies or opinions. They view their preferences as simply “common sense” — a phrase Rather used in a conversation with Goldberg. But considering how sheltered journalists’ lives are, far removed from 99% of America, the question is: common with whom?

Goldberg notes that his colleagues were fine with lying to their audience if they believed it would draw attention to an important cause and lead to “positive change.” One example of what he calls a “noble embellishment” involved reporters in the 1980s and '90s attempting to portray heterosexuals as equally susceptible to AIDS. This tactic, designed to alarm straight people, ignored the reality that AIDS was primarily a problem among gay males. Goldberg points to an article headlined “40% of AIDS sufferers are heterosexual.” But the story failed to acknowledge that most of the 40% were intravenous drug users, with few actually contracting the disease through heterosexual sex.

“Bias” does an excellent job of exposing media do-gooders’ moral blindness. Goldberg recounts how Rather and his colleagues were furious after he accused CBS News of bias in the Wall Street Journal. One of them even compared reading the piece to discovering his wife had been raped. Such sensitivity is, of course, rich coming from an industry that supposedly supports whistleblowers and whose entire existence revolves around interfering with other industries — never mind invading people's private lives. Consider former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz, who cried after being criticized for doxxing the social media influencer "Libs of TikTok."

Manufacturing discontent

Matt Taibbi’s 2019 book “Hate, Inc.” also exposes the media’s hypocritical oversensitivity. While on the campaign trail in 2004, for example, Taibbi recalls receiving a complaint from the Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz after apparently breaking an unwritten rule by taking video of the press section without permission. Once again, the media establishment feels aggrieved over something it does all the time.

Taibbi’s book, subtitled “Why Today’s Media Makes Us Despise One Another,” shifts from the media’s fake alarmism over liberal causes to the newer, more damaging phenomenon of “manufacturing discontent” between Republicans and Democrats. Taibbi describes this as “selling siloed anger” to attract more clicks and views. He writes that today’s mass-media consumer is often given content that simply confirms their prejudices, “about whatever or whoever the villains of the day happened to be: foreigners, minorities, terrorists, the Clintons, Republicans, even corporations.”

Taibbi harshly criticizes figures like Sean Hannity and Rachel Maddow (each featured on his book’s cover). He especially criticizes Maddow, a former friend, for pushing the “Russiagate” conspiracy theory to cope with Donald Trump’s 2016 win. Taibbi’s friend Glenn Greenwald has commented on the seriousness of pushing such a pernicious lie, noting that it likely still fuels Democrats’ bloodlust for Russia’s defeat in its conflict with Ukraine.

It’s all activism now

Outlets like Maddow’s MSNBC essentially sell a “consumer product” to people, Taibbi notes. They offer viewers a “political safe space” that aligns with a specific political party. Media studies professor Andrey Mir explores this in his 2020 book “Postjournalism and the Death of Newspapers,” where he details how the media’s business model has changed in the post-internet era, altering how news is selected and reported.

Previously, leftist media analysts like Noam Chomsky argued that the establishment press skewed coverage to placate the wealthy elite (advertisers’ most coveted demographic). Now, the press skews coverage to cater to its activist readership. With advertisers moving to more efficient technologies like Facebook and Google — which control 80% of the advertising market — newspapers have turned to what Mir calls paid-up “members” and donors for revenue. These people, like everyone else, can read the news online for free but choose to give their money to outlets because they like what they say.

Treating such outlets as advocacy groups, Mir explains, means that only the largest publications — such as the New York Times and the Washington Post, the ones most capable of spreading the message — will attract support. What these “advocacy group members” are paying for, then, is not just to stay informed, but to push the outlet’s message and shape public opinion in the way they want it to be.

Previously beholden to corporate advertisers (again, Chomsky’s view), the legacy press is now dependent on the activists who fund it. As a result, daily story selection is driven by “the most resonating pressing social issues that could justify fundraising and stimulate readers to donate.” This process incentivizes journalism to “mutate into propaganda.” There is no fairness, balance, or impartiality — only straight advocacy for a hard-left agenda.

What it means for “save-the-world” types to now work for other “save-the-world” types is that expectations for the elite media to change should be even lower. To any conservative expecting the corporate left-wing media to come to their senses after Kamala Harris’ recent defeat and perhaps reduce their bias: It’s unlikely to happen any time soon.

Elon Musk threatens to sue 'creepy' Tim Walz for accusing him of Nazi salute; billionaire's mom urges lawsuit against CNN



Elon Musk has threatened to sue Tim Walz after the Minnesota governor said "of course" the billionaire did a Nazi salute at an inauguration rally for President Donald Trump.

Walz declared during an appearance on MSNBC on Tuesday, "We spent three days, you know, them trying to debate that President Musk gave a Nazi salute — of course he did!"'

'Lawyer up.'

Also during his MSNBC appearance, Walz revealed that losing the 2024 election was "pure hell."

“To the voters, I’m with this, too. Everybody’s fatigued. Trust me, I get it,” Walz told host Rachel Maddow. “It was pure hell, and the disappointment and the frustration, and I’m, you know, soul-searching — what could we have done to make the case? Because we knew this was coming. We knew the implication. And they’re throwing so much at us that we’re fatigued.”

Anti-DEI advocate Robby Starbuck shared a video of Walz's MSNBC appearance.

Musk replied to the post on the X social media platform by proclaiming he may bring a lawsuit against the former Democrat vice presidential nominee, "I think I will. Tim Walz is a creepy [clown face emoji].”

During Musk's hand gesture on Inauguration Day, he slapped his chest twice and extended his right arm outward to a crowd of Trump supporters in Washington, D.C.

Musk explained, "It was astonishing how insanely hard legacy media tried to cancel me for saying 'my heart goes out to you' and moving my hand from my heart to the audience. In the end, this deception will just be another nail in the coffin of legacy media."

Maye Musk — the mother of the Tesla CEO — advised her son to slap media outlets with lawsuits for accusing Elon of carrying out a Nazi salute.

Musk's mom said that she has been "receiving so much hatred" because a CNN panel with Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell attacked the SpaceX CEO.

“I don’t understand why this guy keeps getting the benefit of the doubt, whether or not he believes this stuff, personally,” Rampell said of Musk.

"By the second Sieg Heil, I think he kind of loses the benefit of not to be accused of playing footsie with the Nazis," Rampell stated.

Former GOP strategist Scott Jennings rebutted, "We’ve moved on from Trump derangement syndrome to Elon derangement syndrome. So he has a long record of supporting the Jewish people, number one. Number two, anybody who is asserting this thing he did on the stage the other day was a 'Sieg Heil,' which I just heard you say, you know, lawyer up maybe because, [it is an] absolute ridiculous thing to say.”

Jennings added, "This salute trutherism is outrageous."

Maye Musk thanked Jennings for defending her son.

She told her son, "Elon Musk, please sue them."

Besides CNN, she also advised Musk to sue PBS and the Guardian for their disparaging comparisons to Nazis.

PBS News previously wrote on the X social media platform, "Billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a fascist salute Monday while making a speech at the post-inauguration celebration for President Donald Trump at the Capital One Arena."

PBS News accused Musk of "putting his hand on his chest and then raising it in a salute that appeared similar to the 'Sieg Heil' used by Nazis at their victory rallies."

The Guardian stated, "Elon Musk waded into controversy on Monday when he gave back-to-back fascist-style salutes during celebrations of the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump."

Maye said that Musk must sue anyone calling him a Nazi because "otherwise they won’t stop."

On the other side, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Musk was being "falsely smeared" over the Nazi comparisons.

"Elon Musk is being falsely smeared. Elon is a great friend of Israel. He visited Israel after the October 7 massacre in which Hamas terrorists committed the worst atrocity against the Jewish people since the Holocaust," Netanyahu said. "He has since repeatedly and forcefully supported Israel’s right to defend itself against genocidal terrorists and regimes who seek to annihilate the one and only Jewish state. I thank him for this."

The Anti-Defamation League defended Musk from the Nazi allegations.

"This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety," the ADL stated. "It seems that Elon Musk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge."

"In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead," the ADL concluded.
