Rachel Maddow personally stepped in to block former MSNBC host and her one-time mentor, Keith Olbermann, from getting her coveted primetime slot on the liberal network.
MSNBC has been searching for her replacement ever since she went on hiatus and Olbermann thought he had the inside track on the gig.
However, Maddow stepped in to shut down the idea despite Olbermann offering her a “f*ckton of money.”
“I offered to have her production company ‘produce’ the show,” Olbermann said.
“Would give her some proxy control and a f-ckton of money but she and former MSNBC boss Phil Griffin refused.
“I do not expect to continue negotiations with the successors to this management team,” Olbermann added before insulting management and sealing his fate.
“Management is worse than asleep at the switch.”
“Keith Olbermann is MSNBC’s only hope after their disastrous decision to pay Rachel Maddow eight figures not to work. There’s no one else,” a longtime TV news executive told Fox News.“How embarrassing for MSNBC that they’re still giving Rachel veto power over hosts who don’t pass her ideological litmus test,” the executive said.“Cesar Conde keeps surpassing himself as the weakest executive in network television.” Slay the latest News for free! From The Daily Beast : Maddow’s rejection of Olbermann as her replacement is especially noteworthy considering the role he played in turning her from an Air America radio host into his protégé as an MSNBC regular and eventual star voice of the channel. While the pair were friendly during Olbermann’s glory days with the network, their relationship has soured in recent years. Olbermann may have gotten a laugh at MSNBC, however, when this weekend the network became the internet’s “main character” for a day after The Rachel Maddow Show was forced to delete a tweet and issue a groveling apology boosting a claim from […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
