MS NOW Marks 30 Years as Nicolle Wallace Says She Refused Trump Briefings

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 18

Summary

  • Nicolle Wallace said on a Monday podcast that she refused to air White House press briefings during President Trump’s first term on her MSNBC show “Deadline White House.”
  • The remark surfaced as MS NOW celebrated the network’s 30th anniversary, promoting itself as journalism that “informs, empowers and strengthens our democracy” after rebranding last November.
  • The report argues the channel has moved left from a more ideologically mixed lineup in its early years, when conservative hosts such as Alan Keyes, Laura Ingraham and Joe Scarborough appeared alongside liberals.
  • It cites past on-air moments from Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow as evidence of anti-Republican and anti-Trump bias, framing the anniversary around a broader debate over MSNBC’s editorial direction.
