Racist bigot and all around horrible human being joy Reid to be axed from MSBC - other marginally less horrible Jen Psaki moves on up - MSM death rattle!
From here:
MSNBC Cancels Joy Reid’s Show Amid Major Network Shake-Up – Daily Presser
“MSNBC is reportedly making significant changes to its lineup, with Joy Reid’s show, “The ReidOut,” facing cancellation.
The New York Times reported that Reid’s show, which airs on weekdays at 7 p.m. Eastern, will be replaced by a panel featuring Symone Sanders-Townsend, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez. Additionally, Alex Wagner’s show is also on the brink of being axed, with Jen Psaki slated as her replacement.”
From Brave AI:
“Joy Reid's salary has been a subject of change recently. As of February 2025, she earns $2 million annually from MSNBC, according to CA Knowledge.
However, due to declining TV ratings, MSNBC has reportedly offered her a reduced salary to keep her on the channel.
Previously, her salary was reported to be around $3 million and before joining MSNBC in 2014, she earned $1 million. Her salary has increased tenfold since she started with MSNBC.”
It seems that it pays to be a bigot at MSBC.
Maybe she got hacked off about not getting parity with Rachel Maddow.
“Rachel Maddow's current annual salary is $25 million, which is a $5 million reduction from her previous $30 million salary.
This pay cut was part of a new five-year contract with MSNBC, despite the network facing challenges such as a drop in ratings following the election of Donald Trump. The network values Maddow's influence and viewership, with one executive describing her as "ratings Viagra".
Maddow barely gets the same views as podcasters - signifying the end of the MSM as a source of news and information:
“In 2024, the show averaged 2.4 million viewers on Monday nights until Election Day pushed viewers away.4 As of January 2025, the show returned to a weeknight format, 5 nights a week, and was the network's highest-rated program.
In the week ending January 20, 2025, The Rachel Maddow Show finished first with total viewers (1.711 million at 9 p.m. ET) and the demo (137,000 viewers).”
First amongst MSNBC shows wth just 137,000 views amongst 20-54 year olds. You get the feeling that her viewership is much like those watching a gay pride parade.
Out of interest, NBC s (not MSNBC) does have a popular podcast.
