Why is no one pointing out the fact that all four canceled were not white or is it too obvious? I watched all four of their shows before the election. I haven’t watch any cable or local news since election night.

Most of us have stopped watching CNN and MSNBC since 11/05/24.

Probably part of their deal with #Felon47 for suckhole Morning Joke (Joe) to stay on air and pay $15m to the Felon.

They are selling the network and their soul.

invictusghost.bsky.social•3 days ago

Who cares. Shut them off.

"The base" ain't paying the bills. Corporate media isn't there for political bent. It's there to report truth and make a profit. MSNBC isn't making money do to no audience.

bsky1111.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s about replacing the viewers now.

You have to see the bigger picture to get it.

The news orgs see where things are going and are doing what businesses have done all time….

Surviving.

But fuck them for this cowardice.

stryder22204.bsky.social•3 days ago

Lies sell better than the truth.

bsky1111.bsky.social•3 days ago

Exactly. Which is why Fox is still in business.

I might sound a bit conspiracy theorist right now, but we need to look into when Fox abruptly changed into what they are now. It was a subtle enough change but I bet it happened quickly.

What was happening then?

What did they know?

iammavisdavis.bsky.social•3 days ago

But they won't. Other than maybe at the beginning as an act of "owning the libs" but they're never going to get viewers from the right.

This is the same erroneous calculus Target seems to have made.

bsky1111.bsky.social•3 days ago

And Fox.

Fox News is the prime example of “we need to survive, so let’s run with the winning side until they wipe out the competition “.

I bet they have dreams of becoming the official government news agency.

Fuck fox, fuck trump, fuck the reds and save America.

Their ratings are going to plummet

I hope so

they're "obeying in advance" in the name of the almighty fuckin dollar - nothing more
...ALWAYS follow the money

Positioning for a fire sale.

NBC is spinning off MSNBC. Thats probably what is behind the changes. Probably, the reason Andrea Mitchell went to work for NBC. They may just have no choice.

susmariee.bsky.social•3 days ago

I loved Rachel’s comments tonight about this, but feel it was a missed opportunity to highlight how so many *viewers* are losing anchors who represented them, who amplified their voices and interests. It’s very sad.

mariap011.bsky.social•3 days ago

Who are the corporate owners? They make the rules and firing decisions unfortunately

allaboutthedance.bsky.social•3 days ago

They want to replace with MAGA Megaphones over every network ya know like our buddies over there in Russia! We are now the United States of Russia! Sad day in America🥲

The show that is taking her place--with Michael Steele, Symone Sanders, and Alicia Mendez-- IS a good show. It's not Joy Reid. She's one of a kind. She will land somewhere good & we'll be there.
Ayman, Katie Phang & Capehart also lost their shows.

Ayman and Katie Phang too?!?@

eheart.bsky.social•3 days ago

Not watching anymore.

tellytell.bsky.social•3 days ago

And it's not to try to entice the Fox nuts, to come over, they will never come, an attempt to to get the centrist viewers? I think CNN is doing that.

10periods.bsky.social•3 days ago

Vertical Synergy.

I really think all of these capitulations are about the parent companies and their mergers and FTC lawsuits.

splinetime.bsky.social•3 days ago

They lost me!

pennyroyal60.bsky.social•3 days ago

They are taking a knee to the "king" aka Swamp Thing.

collectivenothing.bsky.social•3 days ago

Seems pretty simple. They’re more worried what Trump will do than what their viewers will do.

tetleygirl.bsky.social•3 days ago

Absolutely 💯

shadows13mystical.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's what the Snake wanted. I, wish the News was His Death.

tetleygirl.bsky.social•3 days ago

Of
Course it was him but hey ho another thing to add to my boycott list!

shadows13mystical.bsky.social•3 days ago

Absolutely. 👍

NBC/Comcast is spinning MSNBC, CNBC, and others to a new company (still partially owned by Comcast). Joy is leaving the network, but others are being shuffled to different rolls. It'll be okay, maybe better since they won't be tied to NBC's apron strings.

cheekeymonkey.bsky.social•3 days ago

We don’t need MSNBC to give us another round table like CNN’s Abby Phillip. I love Abby—she is smart, talented but we would learn more if she had her own show vs. “accommodating” folks like Scott Jennings & everyone shouting over each other. MSNBC is losing by replacing Joy w/ a round table.

schwanderer.bsky.social•3 days ago

And they are keeping Katy Tur & Andrea Mitchell - go figure

potomacsylvie.bsky.social•3 days ago

I thought Mitchell retired. Is she coming back?

revkristin.bsky.social•3 days ago

Andrea Mitchell retired... 'bout time, imho.

schwanderer.bsky.social•3 days ago

A testament to how little I pay attention to MSNBC that I didn't know! :)

schwanderer.bsky.social•3 days ago

TY I had not seen that - good news

paranormalhunter.bsky.social•3 days ago

Someone’s $$$ is speaking. The funny part is that the MAGA KKKult think MSNBC is liberal media, so good luck getting their attention without literally introducing “The Morning Joe” with a Sieg Heil, or introducing “The Owning the Libs Hour.”
