In 2003, the legendary television host Phil Donahue was fired from his prime-time MSNBC
talk show during the run-up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq. The problem
was not Donahue’s ratings, but rather his views: An internal MSNBC memo warned Donahue was a "difficult public face for NBC
in a time of war," providing "a home for the liberal antiwar agenda at
the same time that our competitors are waving the flag at every
opportunity." Donahue joins us to look back on his firing 10 years
later. "They were terrified of the antiwar voice," Donahue says.
