		Donahue was a vocal critic of the 2003 Invasion of Iraq.
		Donahue also said that O'Reilly based his show and his interviewing style on little more than loudness and talking points, and criticized his treatment of Jeremy Glick, the son of a September 11 terror attack victim (Barry Glick) who memorably appeared on the show.

	Donahue, Phil
		Donahue's affinity with the women's movement, his sincere style, and his focus on controversial topics attracted a large and predominately female audience.
		Donahue retained his niche in the market by dividing the show's focus, dabbling in both the political and the personal.
		Ratings for Donahue were declining and a number of major stations, including his New York affiliate, had chosen to drop the show from their schedules.

	PHIL DONAHUE TALK SHOW HOST WITH THE LEAST
		I won’t say that Phil Donahue, in his current re-incarnation as the host of a bottom-ranked, cable, talking head show, is an over-the-hill, rude, opinionated liberal whose brain stopped working sometime between the onset of Roosevelt’s NEW DEAL and 1960’s era of drugs and protest.
		Donahue recently burst onto the contemporary news scene with all the flash and panache of an unwanted wet fart.
		Donahue’s other guest that night was radical NYC Councilman, Charles Barron, a firebrand and champion of the notion of reparations, that hollow paean of the eternally victimized.

	Phil Donahue Summary
		Phil Donahue's decision to treat the female television viewer as an intelligent, active, and aware participant in society challenged those programmers wedded to the conviction that women would only watch soap operas and cookery demonstrations.
		Where Donahue had sought to inform and entertain, others set out to demean, to provoke and to shock—an unworthy tribute to Phil Donahue's ability to present often controversial subjects to the mass American audience which had once appeared to mark the nation's growing willingness to confront previously taboo topics.
		Donahue then called O'Reilly a loud pundit who bullies people on his show, telling him, "Loud doesn't mean right." Donahue ended the interview noting that while O'Reilly admits the war was a mistake, and "optional" yet he refuses to correct the mistake by discussing any withdrawal of troops.

	Phil Donahue: American Pestilence
		Donahue's most recent audience may have been minuscule, but make no mistake: when they look back at the social and cultural meltdown that preceded and ultimately abetted the demise of American civilization, future generations will take special note of the singularly mendacious influence of this pioneer of daytime television talk.
		Phil Donahue was just such an adult: Outwardly a mature, married man with several children, but inwardly a shallow bucket longing after the empty cliches and sham pieties mouthed by scruffy, sandaled "flower children" and ignorant dormitory "revolutionaries" living off generous allowances and trust funds.
		Donahue's enthusiasm for behavior once considered out of the mainstream was of a piece with his politics, and one need only consider the haste with which liberals like Donahue embraced a values-free rhetoric and an anti-American worldview to understand how and why mainstream liberalism lost its way.

	GLAAD: "Phil Donahue strikes back at MSNBC" - By David Bauder, Associated Press
		NEW YORK - Phil Donahue struck back at MSNBC on Wednesday for his firing, suggesting the network was too quick to pull the trigger and that it might be trying to "out-fox Fox" with conservative voices.
		Donahue's political talk show, a distant third in the cable news ratings in his time slot, was abruptly pulled from the air after Monday's show.
		Donahue, a liberal who stumped for Ralph Nader's presidential candidacy in 2000, said he had been hoping "to break through the noisy drums of war on cable" and become a responsible platform for both sides of the issue.

	News Hounds: Phil Donahue Shows How To Do It
		Donahue did it with kindness, diplomacy and a refusal to be talked down.
		Donahue then said that Bush should say to the world that, "We invaded Iraq because we sincerely thought Saddam Hussein was a threat but we did not envision the chaos that would ensue and for that we apologize."
		While Donahue used kindness, he never conceded a single point nor did he hop to show that he is in agreement with O'Reilly or Bush on anything, as we have seen way too many Democrats do with no success.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: The Casual Racism Of Phil Donahue by David Horowitz
		Perhaps Donahue and Washington blanked this one too, because the perpetrator was (disappointingly) brown.
		This presumption that America is racist, that whites are bigots and that white America controls the media and uses that control to diminish and oppress minorities in general and fl people in particular is a monstrous lie (and anyone who has thought about it for two seconds, knows it).
		Donahue are somehow part of the mainstream conversation about race in America today.

	Democracy Now! \| Phil Donahue: "We Have an Emergency in the Media and We Have to Fix It"
		The show was simply called "Donahue" and was hosted by a bespectacled man with silver hair who would run around the studio handing the microphone to members of the audience to give them their say on the issues of the day.
		Phil Donahue was on in the same time slot as Fox's Bill O'Reilly, but the show didn't last -- Phil's, that is. In fact, it didn't even last a year, even though it was MSNBC's top rated program.
		PHIL DONAHUE: “Boy, it's not what it used to be.” And I would say, “Oh, come on, stop it, stop it.” I don't want to be one of those people, but I certainly think we have an emergency in media, and we gotta fix it.

		I made the point that at least some of the executives at the network were concerned that Donahue presented a challenge for the company, at a time when the U.S. was preparing to go to war.
		Donahue, it's clear from those I have spoken with that this battle for the heart of Donahue's show has been raging privately for months.
		Several network insiders described Donahue and his staff as "intransigent" and "unrealistic about the current marketplace." While those familiar with the show described a process in which the network sought to cleanse the show of even a perceived liberal bias in guests or topics.

		Donahue asserted that Mohler's views were arrogant, arguing that the Crusades began with similar beliefs.

	Feeling Phil
		AS YOU MAY know from MSNBC's Normandy-style ad campaign, Phil Donahue, the man who practically invented the gutter genre of talk television, who paved the way for Oprah and the rest, he of the bulging eyes, concerned hand gestures, and sensitive male persona has entered the fray of nightly political talk on cable.
		Phil Donahue, however, is hot on the trail of a hypocrisy catch.
		Sending her off, Phil tells Spann's sister, "You are the member of a very large family of loved ones." When Pat Buchanan comes on for batting practice against the gray-haired icon, Phil calls him Patrick (full-name-like, Irish Catholic to Irish Catholic) and tells him he's a part of the family.

	Palestine Media Watch -- Spread the Palestinian point of view
		A particularly interesting moment was Donahue taking a much deserved jab at The New York Times for not covering the coffins exhibition: Palestinian and Israeli coffins lined up by Palestinian and Israeli families in New York City - the very hometown of the The New York Times.
		Donahue is doing something extremely important: he is injecting much needed sanity in the mainstream debate about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and is doing it WITHOUT APLOGIES!
		And so, the show is sure to be deluged with vicious attacks and Donahue is sure to be demonized and branded a "terrorist-lover" and an "anti-Semite".

	Exit Phil Donahue
		Media analyst Rick Ellis, who writes for the excellent www.allyourtv.com website, makes a strong case that Donahue is being elbowed off the air at this point -- when his ratings have actually been ticking upward -- precisely because it appears that a war is coming.
		Donahue's show was never as successful as it could have been.
		Where his conservative competitors never worry about fairness or balance, Donahue was under constant pressured to clog his show's arteries with deadly dull apologists for all things Bush.

		Donahue’s openness is one explanation for his high "Q rating," an index TV execs use to describe the warm fuzzies audiences experience.

	War Signal: Phil Donahue Show Cancelled by MSNBC
		Now I am aware that on most issues, Phil Donahue is a mushy liberal who seems to truly believe many of the premises which lead a person to end up in that mental swamp.
		Donahue brought on guests to vigorously argue against Taylor, as he did himself - but this was the type of show he was doing: robust debate on controversial and cutting edge issues.
		Donahue - who was head to head with O'Reilly -- was pulling according to the ratings books about 400,000 per night.

		Donahue invited Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., the only Senate member who voted against the PATRIOT Act, to discuss the legislation and how it relates to the FBI's national dragnet of mostly Middle Eastern men thought to have terrorist ties.
		Truth is, in his first two nights on the air, Donahue did more to expand the perimeters of our national debate than Alan Keyes did during his last two months on MSNBC.
