If CNN doesn’t appreciate who they’ve got, I like the sound of MORNING JIM over at MSNBC.

The “news” estate is very quickly caving into and supplicate to Trump’s stormtroopers. Disney/ABC @ABC , Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg @Meta , LA Times,CBS @CBSNews and CNN.Even MSNBC is under attack. @nytimes next? No one left to trust really. Who is the Goebbels pulling the strings?

mooselambresist.bsky.social•38 days ago

Balls are fragile, sensitive, delicate, easily hurt. Perhaps Jim actually has a vulva - tough, flexible, can take the heat, can take a pounding.

No, but he's the only one at CNN. The others seem to have cowered in front of the pressure. They should all quit. Together.

To be fair, I really mean at CNN and most of mainstream media. We must celebrate and encourage the journalists who are still committed to speaking truth to power.

I am definitely aware of the small handful doing the work.

It’s a small list in the media. Donie O’Sullivan is on the list too. The only 2 people I can watch on @cnn.

caffeinatedsurf.bsky.social•40 days ago

KO didn’t make her. She already was established at Air America & CNN/MSNBC (via Carlson) punditry. He helped her open the door to hosting. She made herself. Her first show brought in MSNBC’s highest ratings up to that point. She did the work.

reply

a1cajun.bsky.social•39 days ago

Originally, Rachel was on a radio station in Western Massachusetts. She was good, people knew it, and she worked her ASS off. She earned everything she’s got. And she DESERVES to be here!

reply

blessyaheart.bsky.social•34 days ago

That’s why they brought Rachel back 5 nights a week: to bring the liberal lemmings back.

She makes $30 million a year.

She would have lost that if she hadn’t returned 5x weekly.

MSNBC needed ratings.

She needed the money.

We needed the truth so we went elsewhere.

At least some of us did 🙄

reply

caffeinatedsurf.bsky.social•33 days ago

What are you talking about? She’s been making $30mil/yr since 2021. I doubt she needs the money. Her salary dropped to $25/mil a year on her new contract for the next 5 years. She’s only back for 100 days. MSNBC ratings were already rising in Jan (up 39% over Dec) before she started 5 days/wk.

Is that you, Rachel? 🤷🏽‍♀️
