Former Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield is opening up about his exit from the network in July, which The Daily Beast reported that he mysteriously disappeared from their airwaves. 

Stinchfield’s departure from Newsmax coincided with the arrival of former Fox News host Greta Van Susteren. Now on the premiere of his new show “Stinchfield – Uncensored,” he’s giving the details on what happened. 

Media Matter’s Jason Campbell provided the clip in which Stinchfield claims the network canceled his program after he rejected to attack top-rated Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

He continued by allegedly saying that Newsmax told him his show was canceled due to it failing to compete with Carlson in ratings.

“Tucker Carlson’s doing 3 million people a night. We were doing 300,000,” Stinchfield stated. “Well, if you can believe it, they wanted me to go after Tucker Carlson to attack him. And I had a real hard time with this because to me, Tucker Carlson, I would say is number two to President Trump as the leader of the Republican Party.”

“Really, there’s not a politician, a Republican politician in America today that not does not take a cue from Tucker Carlson over on Fox News. That’s just the reality of things.”

    Newsmax is starting to tank, I no longer watch them. Tucker Carlson is going after some hot topics that no one else will touch & he should be celebrated for that.
    I hope Stitchfield finds a new show away from Newsmax, I would definitely watch!

      Grant is the best !! Only one pet-peev and that is his miss- informed info about alcoholism. It is not a matter of WILL POWER in the defeat of a bonafide disease. Like any disease, an incorrect diagnosis will have an incorrect treatment. OTHERWISE, Grant is among the best of our spoke

    Newsmax has clearly been compromised. It is now officially controlled opposition of the left. Good bye news Max. People are much smarter than you think. We see right through your lack of respect for things that really matter to America.

Joe Scarborough: I Was a Conservative When Women at Fox News ‘Were Still Playing With Their Barbies’

“I’ve got a 95% (American Conservative Union) rating. I’m more conservative than any of them.”

MSNBC Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough spent time in Congress as a Republican. Despite his current position on a liberal cable news network, he argues he’s still a conservative and has been one since before his detractors on Fox News knew what the word means.

On Thursday morning, Scarborough called the Fox News hosts criticizing him for his role in the removal of former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel from NBC News “little idiots,” adding that he’s not a “left-winger.”

 “First of all, I’ve got a 95% (American Conservative Union) rating. I’m more conservative than any of them. I was part of Congress, and a big part of the reason if anybody was around, they’ll tell you that we balanced the budget for four years in a row for the first time, and the only time in 100 years,” the former Republican Congressman said.

He continued by adding that Liz Cheney, who also has a similar rating from the conservative think-tank was chastised for her failure to support former President Donald Trump.

While speaking with George Conway, Scarborough took a shot at the females from Fox News — without naming names — who have been critical of him in recent days.

“George, you and I were conservatives — and are conservatives — but we were conservatives when some of these women on Fox News who call us liberals were still playing with their Barbies,” Scarborough said confidently.

NBC News Chair Cesar Conde: I Made Decision to Sever Ties With Ronna McDaniel

“I want to personally apologize to our team members who felt we let them down. While this was a collective recommendation by some members of our leadership team, I approved it and take full responsibility for it.”

On Tuesday, NBC News ended its relationship with former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel after just five days due to intense internal backlash over the hire. The network’s News chairman, Cesar Conde, is taking responsibility.

In a memo sent to employees Tuesday, Conde says he approved McDaniel’s hiring, and ultimately made the decision to remove her from the outlet’s list of contributors.

“After listening to the legitimate concerns of many of you, I have decided that Ronna McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor. No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned. Over the last few days, it has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal,” Conde wrote. “I want to personally apologize to our team members who felt we let them down. While this was a collective recommendation by some members of our leadership team, I approved it and take full responsibility for it.”

McDaniel — who has also been dropped by the CAA talent agency — has reportedly been seeking legal representation to explore potential breach of contract litigation with the network.

NBC News announced the hiring of the former Republican leader on Friday, which led to scrutiny from staffers angered by McDaniel’s previous comments about the press and her role in attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

However, in her first paid appearance for the network, she told Meet the Press‘ Kristen Welker that Donald Trump did not win the election in 2020, and that the process was not rigged against him. It was the first time she publicly admitted those sentiments. She inferred that she felt a duty to back the former President’s claims as RNC chair, and will have more freedom as a political analyst at NBC News.

“Now, I get to be a little bit more myself,” she told Welker, before being lambasted by former moderator Chuck Todd for her lack of credibility.

After the appearance, several MSNBC hosts — including Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, Nicolle Wallace, Rachel Maddow, and Lawrence O’Donnell — shared their extreme displeasure with the hiring, which ultimately led Cesar Conde to reverse course.

NBC News to Drop Ronna McDaniel After Backlash From Network Staffers

Ronna McDaniel is reportedly “seeking legal representation” should NBC News attempt to exit its contract that reportedly was set to pay her $300,000.

NBC News has made plans to sever its ties to political analyst Ronna McDaniel after near unanimous pushback from employees inside the outlet.

A report from Puck’s Dylan Byers claims the network is making preparations to end its short, but tumultuous, relationship with the former RNC chair.

On Friday, NBC News announced it had inked a deal for McDaniel to join the network as a political analyst.

Subsequently, MSNBC President Rashida Jones informed network staffers that the former Republican leader would not appear on the cable network after intense backlash from employees over past comments from McDaniel.

During her first appearance on Meet the Press Sunday, McDaniel admitted — for the first time — that the 2020 presidential election that was won by President Joe Biden was not “rigged” against former President Donald Trump, and shared her belief that Biden did in fact win the vote.

Former moderator Chuck Todd blasted the network for its decision to hire someone who had been involved in the “character assassination” of not only journalists and the media as a whole, but specific members of the staff at NBC News and MSNBC.

Todd’s comments were backed by those of Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, Nicolle Wallace, Jen Psaki, Rachel Maddow, and Lawrence O’Donnell who all shared their opinions about the situation on-air Monday.

According to the report from Byers, Ronna McDaniel is “seeking legal representation” should NBC News attempt to exit its contract that reportedly was set to pay her $300,000.

McDaniel joined NBC News after resigning her position as RNC chair, which she had previously held since 2017.
