If you believe the reportage, Lester Holt made the decision to leave Nightly himself, and will continue to anchor "Dateline" . Yeah it barely qualifies as a news show than a "seductive killer of the week" doc, but...🤷♂️
MAGA already has their “not news” news outlets (FOX News & NewsMax) so they won't switch to MSNBC. They are simply going to lose their audience with no viewers to gain & execs will sit around looking at each other going “wha’ happened?” (While still getting millions in bonuses.)
Enjoy bankruptcy!
I already switched from the Republican Lester Holt to David Muir and I already switched to other programming when the other 5 were hosting. I follow Joy Reid and that's where I'll get my Joy.
Joy Reid was the only host who was fired from MSNBC altogether and not demoted or transitioned to other roles with the network like the others were. Plus her entire staff was fired as well.
What's that all about?
Rebecca Kutler, the new MSNBC president, has been on the job for just a few days.
Same page. Furious at how the network collapsed. Joy & Lawrence were usually alone in going hard. Nicolle makes the right points but can also run under the radar for changes like these.
Exactly. Mika & Joe kissed the tRump ring. tRump says Joy, Alex, Johnathan, & the others gotta go. He hates them the most - except for Rachel who they can't fire. Rachel showed them last night with her scathing remarks. Fire Rebecca Kutler & bring them all back! No MSNBC until then!
Great! Which network? I'm watching CNN now. It's not great. We need a new network with journalists who have integrity. Or for MSNBC to get rid of Rebecca Kutler.
The House Appropriations Committee estimate that nearly 6,000 veterans may have already been fired from their federal jobs as part of the DOGE initiative run by mega-billionaire Elon Musk, with a lot more veteran layoffs possible.
Call for the firing of the new white MSNBC exec, Rebecca Kutler, who fired 3 beloved BIPOC anchors after 1 month on the job. Call MSNBC and leave a comment on their comment line 212-664-4444 Press "1" then "2". Rebecca Kutler is at best stupid and at worst a racist or agent of the oligarchy.
Agree and it won't matter what MSNBC does as they will continue to lose 25-45 age viewers who increasingly get their news elsewhere. These great show hosts should start their own podcasts, etc and reach old and new audience there. They have something to say and to be listened to.
Alex Wagner was not an effective substitute for Rachel on Tues-Friday. I changed to Kaitlan Collins for that hour. Even with Rachel now back for those days, Kaitlan offers something different - and she does not repeat herself multiple times like Rachel. Lawrence is my rockstar.
Rachel always tells a story and takes at least a full segment, tying in research and history. It can be heavy but by bringing things together more than once it's more likely to stick. Unfortunately, Americans now have the attention span of gnats (no shade to gnats) and want fast food news.
Don't get me wrong, I like the in-depth perspective. But she repeats her same thoughts, multiple times within the same segment. Both before the guest and during the interview. Listen closely, and you will hear it as well.
Yeah I don’t get that. Also it was just Reid and phang that I heard were fired yesterday -now Alex and the others? Well I knew about ayman. So these others were fired today? Who are they gonna get to replace them? They didn’t promote Symon Steele and the other Hispanic woman-Alicia ?
Wow. Blaming Trump for their low ratings? Maybe if they wouldn’t have lied about Russia gate, pee tapes. Laptops, the vaccines, etc etc people would still trust them and continue to watch. But sure. Let’s not hold people accountable for their own ratings and actions.
I note that not as many have expressed disappointment at how surprisingly indifferent Stephanie Ruhle seemed to be on her show in not commenting on the fate of colleagues.
After MAGA is done, a lot of companies need to be held legally accountable. I don't care if the president was cool with racial discrimination. We should still come after these assholes. There has to consequences if we don't want this kind of shit happening again.
Absolutely fucking outrageous❗️ why do I suspect this was from same shithead who hired Rhonna Daniel’s, only to face backlash from audience and it’s own staff.
I don’t think it’s anything to do with Trump. MSNBC has been spun off by Comcast, and while these moves as shady as hell and rightfully called out by Maddow, I think this is really about portability, and I’m pretty sure this is a wildly misguided move to mirror more closely MSNBC’s actual audience…
Primarily white people over 40 who still subscribe to cable. It’s not about folding to Trump much as it is about advertisers. That said, it’s no less fucked up.
This is off subject, but sort of adjacent! We shake our heads at this gross example of dictatorship & obeying. Each one hurts & puts us in worse shape.
But I almost feel it may be more of a challenge for big news, etc, to resist, than it is/will be, for any one of us individually.
I will not obey👊

It's about ratings.

Hope they get to do independent news or join news organisations like the Meidastouch Network.
I only watch @maddow.msnbc.com.
There's really nothing else to watch. I'm watching @ABC for now as I already got rid of @CNN.com.
Guess What?
Older whites are racists
MAGA republicans are racists
MSNBC catered to the dictator and his cult.
