Rachel Maddow ‘p***ed’ after Joe Scarborough ‘stabbed MSNBC in back’ by ‘bending the knee’ to Trump & MAGA, insider says

According to a reliable source who spoke to The U.S. Sun, Rachel Maddow, the star of MSNBC, is upset with Morning Joe presenters Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for meeting with incoming President Donald Trump.

After criticizing Trump, the couple asked for an invitation to Mar-a-Lagoa as part of a bridge-building exercise, surprising their network colleagues.

WIDESPREAD ANGER

A CNN article claims that the two chose to get in touch with Trump because they were afraid of “retribution against his perceived political opponents.”

The host’s “credibly concerned” status over potential “governmental and legal harassment” from the Trump administration was stated.

However, a number of people inside the network, including prominent figures like Maddow, who oversaw the election night coverage, are upset about Scarborough and Brzezinski’s choice to meet with Trump in Florida.

The fallout has produced a “very tense situation,” according to a journalist who has been with MSNBC for 15 years, with some feeling like they have been “stabbed in the back.”

As the insider told The U.S. Sun, “It was such a stupid thing to do,” “They have bent the knee to ensure not being targeted by Trump and the whole MAGA world.”

FIGHTING BACK

Historically left-leaning, MSNBC prides itself on being a progressive media brand.

Some MSNBC employees believe that turning down the offer to a private meeting with the 47th President of the United States would have been a sign of weakness, while others well realize that it would have been stupid.

Brezinski, who recently declared that she had decided to leave X in order to avoid being targeted on the platform that is currently controlled by Elon Musk, a new close buddy of Trump, disagreed.

“Joe and I realized it’s time to do something different,” she explained.

“And that begins with speaking with Donald Trump as well as discussing him. In my opinion, one of the reasons we entered was because people were so afraid.

After Trump won the election handily on November 5, MSNBC has cautioned about his management style.

“Normalizing Trump is a bad idea,” host Katie Phang wrote on social media, and many of her coworkers concurred.

“There has been a massive change of dynamic since the election, and the mindset is that the bad numbers won t change, they won t go back up, unless we do soft journalism and not push too much to criticize Trump s administration,” said the seasoned reporter for MSNBC.

‘BOWING TO AUTHORITY’

According to the CNN report, the Morning Joe host’s travel to West Palm Beach to meet with Trump was approved by MSNBC executives.

However, according to our source, some network employees are “sh****g their pants” at the idea of deferring to authorities.

According to the insider, they are concerned about undervaluing the MSNBC brand and its values.

“Most of us don’t want to be part of that,” the anonymous journalist stated. “Some are thinking about trying to join other media organizations where we can do our job with respect and values to bring truth to the table without being pressured by the people in power.”

“The meeting at Mar-a-Lago created a lot of tension in the teams, and many other stars host of the channel see both Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski as opportunistic and with very low self respect and forgetting their values of being journalists with independence and integrity.”

“Their credibility has significantly diminished. Along with other presenters like Chris Hayes and Eri Melber, Rachel Maddow is p****d at them. They are really irritated.

Maddow has not addressed the issue, either on or off air, according to an MSNBC spokesperson. “Any insinuation otherwise is merely speculative,” she stated to The U.S. Sun.

Maddow, 51, will take a $5 million pay reduction from her $30 million contract, according to recent reports.

Since Donald Trump won the presidency on November 5, MSNBC executives have seen the network’s ratings fall precipitously.

The Ankler was informed by a network insider that some staff members have found it difficult to accept Vice President Kamala Harris’ loss, characterizing the network as a “safe space for a liberal TV audience.”
