That Joe Scarborough and Ari Melber still have jobs but Joy Reid, Jose Diaz-Balart, Jonathan Capehart, Katie Phang, Mehdi Hassan, and Alex Wagner don’t says all you need to know about Rebecca Kutle’s leadership priorities.

It’s absolutely wrong. I can’t even get through a.whole hour of morning Joe if Scarborough’s going through his “I. I. I crap. No body is impressed with him. More Mike B and Willie I love the guests usually but Joe is an egotistical boor
Katie is a treasure..Joy’s delivery is awful. Scarborough should have be 1st out. No question!Wagner, imo, was a light weight.. Menendez is def worth holding on to. Capehart was just ok…Sanders is worse than Reid & I’d take Reid v Sanders. Personal opinion not corporate decision however.
I predict Joy Reid will return with her own show. Maybe it will be on a non talking head channel. TBH my fave news show is Last Week Tonight. Maybe HBO is a better slot and weekly allows more depth.
That was supposed to be temporary while Maddow is doing the 1st 100 Days thing. But now her more prestigious position will be filled by Psaki.
Self fact checked.
They all had abysmally ratings. I know conspiracy theories are fun, but sometimes things are pretty much as they seem. Reid's ratings have been HORRIBLE for years. Rashida Jones just didn't want to fire a friend.
Certainly who they value most and respect least. It’s just ridiculous that anyone would think otherwise. Shameful. Proves my long held belief that they seek to intentionally tank the audience they have to attract the audience they now prefer, Republicans supposedly in exile. Pass.
What's even worse is how little she seems to appreciate how this fascist lying POS operates. She kowtows to his idiotic loser white privilege BS and then gets publicly humiliated for complying. I can't imagine her tenure lasts long when clearly lacking a brain or spine.
I just thought Mehdi was obnoxious. He always seems angry and hostile, and he has a monotone, almost shouting tone. Didn’t know he was homophobic. I was relieved when he was gone.
I used to watch and enjoy Ari, however the Michael Avenatti interview he did was disappointing to say the least. Turned me away from his show. MSNBC has been off for me since before the election. They will slowly get rid of the couple good ones left and turn full on Trump dictates TV.
I see a really AWESOME YouTube channel being started ... please?!!!! Run some competition against MSNBC - I would subscribe. Thank you for your service. You can redefine what a "Free Press" means! Hugs
Sorry, I enjoy Late night with Lawrence O'Donnell. Just facts no drama.
The others are news actors. Playing to an audience.
Remember that billionaires control the airwaves. You will get fed what they cook up.
Joy only one completely fired. New trio co-hosts 7am & new 6pm edition “The Weekend” Sat & Sun. Capehart will co-anchor morning, Mohyeldin will anchor evening. Díaz-Balart will continue anchor Weekend Nightly News. Details extended hours for day anchors & more Katie & Alex https://tinyurl.com/ycy8rkyx
Who IS Rebecca Kutle❓️ Dox, hack, call out this person in public.
What are all those things that MAGA does that seem to scare the shit out of too many elected representatives❓️
Well, maybe it's TIME TO JOIN THE PARTY.
Why is she so empowered to commit such a heinous act❓️
Just following orders?
This is what happens to decent news organizations when their bosses go fascist, & embrace anti-DEI (short for scare of competing fair & square; the under-qualified & mediocre who now feel entitled).
If you look at the ratings of the people who lost their show, you will find that no one was watching them Ratings matter. I an hopeful they can make appearances on some of the other shows. CNN totally revamped their network news & it’s far better than the previous hosts.
Why you think that you can organize a resistance movement by online randos making authoritarian commands leads me to believe you have little or no experience in organizing.
Yo, we like Ari! --but Morning Joe gotta go [running over to Mar-a-lago isn't cool!!] Put Joy in morning spot, or put a combo team in morning spot, four reporters ( three days in a row-- then switch to the next four, just keep the rotation on. ) Power to the People! #powertothepeople! #msnbc
Besides Morning Joe,( they need to be ong gone) who were they supposed to get rid of. Chris Hayes, Rachel and Lawrence have higher rating, maybe due to their time slots. Because of morning joe, many haven't gone back after their capitulation. MSNBC is a corporation, whose bottom line is profit.
Welcome to the 24th hour of Morning Joe. In our next segment, we will discuss our recent visit to Mar-a-lago, but first, this word from our only sponsor, Tesla.
MSNBC and the rest of the similar type networks are simply a form of entertainment for most, or approximately 85% get their news (lol) from social media, that’s the problem.
Joe's playing The long game he knows if he gets pulled off the air he can't talk about Putin and he is a threat to the whole world...not us currently we are all fkn in on putin at this point. Our own president is an enemy of the state..
While I agree with the Scarborough/Melber thing I’m not sad to see Reid’s program cancelled. It had become low-grade entertainment where she tried to be funny more than informative…her presentation had become as loopy as Matthew’s had when she replaced him.
some huge mistakes in these firings….why I wonder? does msnbc think they will gain new viewers? . if anything ,they will lose many. i am one that’s for sure
Democracy Now! Is the only news show worth watching if you care about the rest of the world too. MSNBC along with every other network have been criminal intentionally ignoring the US and Israel’s war crimes and genocide of Palestine.
For me it was after the debate. They could not stop bashing Biden, but we're silent about demented Donnie. That was it. What happened to real journalism? Gone are the days of Walter Conkrite and Peter Jennings.
I agree. He is a lawyer and that lends some additional depth to his views on the courts or legal matters. His hip-hop stuff is sort of odd but I know there are those who like it, so okay.
As MSNBC whitewashes itself to keep trump and his band of racists happy, I am reminded of what my professor said to my class 50 years ago when he asked us what the news media is. We gave all the glowing answers about holding those in power to be accountable. He said no... they are merely a business.
as far as I can tell the corporations looked at the election and just capitulated. Zero push back except a hand full. Pretty sure this is the weakest u.s. businesses have ever been.
No. It leaves me searching high and low for numbers. All of the fired anchors have had abysmally low ratings. Things are rarely absolutely black and white, but if you ask for numbers to help understand what happened, on BlueSky, you are called a racist.
The podcasts from liberals are taking over and pushing people like Rogan out of their top spots! ALL of MSNBC hosts that were let go need to start a podcast - they can speak now without regard to Rebecca!
Remember when MSNBC hired the Ronna McDaniel (former GOP party chair) and Rachel said HELLLLLLL NOOOOO, and then POOF, Ronna was gone? Crossing my fingers history repeats itself here. MSNBC is nothing without Rachel.
And let's be 100% honest here. Joe is a f*cking knob and Ari is just an absolute dork wanna be rapper. Neither are worth watching mow a lawn let alone report on anything relevant.

Someone who sold out first chance he got with ZERO integrity is not someone on my TV any longer
What a lifelong embarrassment to your family name
Yea and they get almost zero “likes” too. No one cares what their articles say when they’ve bent the knee and won’t allow for discussion with their enabled comments.
Being analysts does not = having their own shows. They also won’t be on daily. Same goes for Jose Diaz Balart who was M-F but now will only be on Saturday. Capehart was outstanding in the evenings but now will be hidden in the weekend a.m. slot. No diversity is the goal, it seems. Stop justifying.
Boycotting “all” of MSNBC?Newsflash: Criticizing a network and some of its hosts/shows does not equal boycotting but if that’s how you see it, then good for you.
So you're not one of those claiming to have stopped watching MSNBC after the elections?
When you get more followers you'll find that lots of people on Blue Sky proudly boycott MSNBC. And now they are complaining that there are cuts being made. They don't seem to understand cause ➡️ effect.
I don’t watch any network all day. In fact, I hate watching TV. I did watch Reid, and do watch Maddow & Lawrence but not the rest. I’ve tried watching Morning Joseph but it takes him 10 minutes to ask a single question — I don’t have that kind patience.
Melber is the second-best show on that network, Hayes is 1st. But you're BLUE MAGA, I get it. They tried demoting Hasan; he has value and told them to GFY, is doing fine without them. Reid is despised by progressives, they are satisfied, but it's RATINGS that determine who's there $$$
Comments
Admit it.
-others have done the same and are still here
-the ones that are gone are…non white, as Rachel is saying.
I love my Jewish friends and community, but what has happened to Gaza is obscene and will be remember as such.
Gazans did that.
You’ve got something on your nose…
Self fact checked.
Didn’t peg him for a homophobe.

Ratings will tank
I think he’s a piece of shit regardless.
This is completely consistent with racist policies.
TBH, I don't really watch any regular news\cable news live anymore. Anything I do watch is streamed to YouTube or elsewhere.
Best news program out there is PBS, at least until they’re driven off the airwaves by this corrupt regime.
Their loss, our gain! These powerful voices are now unfettered and MSNBC will just go down the drain!

Maddow and Odonnell should resign.

Jose Diaz-Balart will be Saturday anchor of “NBC Nightly News
Phang will remain with MSNBC as a legal analyst.
Alex Wagner, who will remain with the network as a senior political analyst.

And be honest, only cutting POC is blatant.
He's an asshole and she props him up...but keep it factual.
