MSNBC Taps WHCA President Eugene Daniels for Weekend Show
MSNBC is hiring Eugene Daniels, the president of the White House Correspondents' Association and the co-author of Politico Playbook, to co-host a roundtable show on the weekends. Daniels will be leaving Politico, where he has been a White House correspondent for several years. The news was first reported by Puck. Daniels is already well acquainted with MSNBC, since he has been a contributor to the channel since 2021. His exit from Politico comes amid a flurry of news, both for MSNBC and for the WHCA. Earlier on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the Trump Administration's media team will now select the reporters in the White House press pool — a move that rips control away from the WHCA, which has historically determined the reporters who travel with and cover the president. In response, the WHCA said the move 'tears at the independence of a free press' in the U.S. 'It suggests the government will choose the journalists who cover the president. In a free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps,' the WHCA said in a statement shared by Daniels. MSNBC, meanwhile, made headlines on Monday when it announced Joy Reid was losing her show. Former Biden Administration Press Secretary Jen Psaki's show will move to primetime as part of the programming shakeup being led by new MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler. The changes come after MSNBC's ratings took a big hit following the 2024 election, but have enjoyed a recent increase, following the president's inauguration. MSNBC on Monday noted its primetime viewership has increased 77% since the inauguration, with the cable channel averaging 1.4 million primetime viewers between Jan. 20 and Feb. 14. Fox News, for comparison, averaged 3 million primetime viewers the week of Feb. 10., and CNN averaged a little less than half a million viewers during that same time. Kutler, who recently took over the top job at MSNBC after Rashida Jones exited, addressed MSNBC leadership earlier this month. The media industry veteran told MSNBC brass 'our jobs are hard on a normal day, and these are not normal times.' 'We have a new company, we have new leadership, we will have new offices and we have a non-stop news cycle,' Kutler said. 'I think it's important that we all share in the exciting parts of what the year ahead is going to mean in terms of getting to build a new news organization – one that is built for us, for our needs first, to be part of a new company that is standing itself up and that we have a seat at the table at the ground floor of that, and what that's going to look like and we get to help determine that.'

'60 Minutes' Posts Unedited Transcript Of Kamala Harris Interview, Says It Shows Broadcast Was 'Not Doctored Or Deceitful'
CBS News' 60 Minutes posted the unedited transcript and video of its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris from October, a segment that is the source of a lawsuit filed by Donald Trump and an FCC inquiry. The show turned over the transcript to the FCC on Monday. More from Deadline Travis Kelce On Taylor Swift Hater Donald Trump Attending Super Bowl: "It's A Great Honor" Amber Ruffin Will Headline Next White House Correspondents Association Dinner - Update Lara Trump, President's Daughter-In-Law, To Host New Fox News Weekend Show 'They show – consistent with 60 Minutes' repeated assurances to the public – that the 60 Minutes broadcast was not doctored or deceitful.' The show said, 'The issue here concerns one question from 60 Minutes' interview with Kamala Harris: whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is listening to the Biden-Harris Administration. We broadcast a longer portion of the vice president's answer on Face the Nation and broadcast a shorter excerpt from the same answer on 60 Minutes the next day. Each excerpt reflects the substance of the vice president's answer. As the full transcript shows, we edited the interview to ensure that as much of the vice president's answers to 60 Minutes' many questions were included in our original broadcast while fairly representing those answers. 60 Minutes' hard-hitting questions of the vice president speak for themselves.' The show also posted audio and video, and the files that it sent to the FCC. The unedited transcript shows that Whitaker asked Harris, 'But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening. 'The Wall Street Journal' said that he — that your administration has repeatedly been blindsided by Netanyahu, and in fact, he has rebuffed just about all of your administration's entreaties.' Harris answered, 'Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by, or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region. And we're not going to stop doing that. We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.' The first sentence of the answer ran on Face the Nation on Oct. 6, as part of a promo for the 60 Minutes election special aired. But the next night, on the 60 Minutes broadcast, it was the second sentence that ran when Whitaker asked his question. 'In reporting the news, journalists regularly edit interviews – for time, space or clarity,' the show said. 'In making these edits, 60 Minutes is always guided by the truth and what we believe will be most informative to the viewing public – all while working within the constraints of broadcast television.' Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the network and called for CBS to lose its broadcast license, claiming that it purposely edited the interview to make Harris look better. Paramount Global is in talks with Trump's team about a settlement. The lawsuit was filed in a federal court in Texas, citing the state's Deceptive Trade Practices Act, which is typically used against false advertising. A conservative group, the Center for American Rights, filed an FCC complaint over the segment, claiming that it violated the FCC's 'news distortion' policy. Broadcasters are subject to enforcement only 'if it can be proven that they have deliberately distorted a factual news report,' per the agency. The FCC also notes that their authority to take action on complaints is narrow and that it is 'prohibited by law from engaging in censorship or infringing on First Amendment rights of the press.' Since the broadcast, 60 Minutes has insisted that the edit was made because of time constraints. Last month, FCC chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel dismissed the complaint, warning that the agency 'should not be the president's speech police.' But after she left the agency at the end of Joe Biden's term, Trump's pick for FCC chair, Brendan Carr, revived it.
