MSNBC president Rashida Jones weighing network exit after Trump is sworn in: report
NY Post ^ | 12/04/24 | Taylor Herzlich, Alexandra Steigrad

MSNBC president Rashida Jones is considering leaving the network after President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in to a second term in the White House as the left-leaning channel’s ratings crash, according to a report.

Jones – who took the helm in 2021 and became the first black woman to lead a major national news network – is mulling an exit from the job early next year, according to a report by Oliver Darcy in his Status newsletter.

The move would only come after Trump is sworn in to serve a second term as president on Jan. 20, Darcy reported, citing anonymous sources.

A decision has not yet been made and it is possible nothing will come of it, Darcy wrote.

A spokesperson for Jones denied the report, according to the Status newsletter.

NBC declined to comment.

CNN’s Brian Stelter confirmed the report based on his own sources.

“It’s amazing how people want to spend more time with their families or look for new challenges when the ratings crash,” a TV exec said sarcastically — skeptical that Jones would be leaving the helm on her own accord.

“Of course she’s making the decision,” the TV exec added. “They’re all leaving on their own, Norah O’Donnell, Chris Wallace.”

I was thinking more in terms of a national conference of journalists and a neutron bomb, myself. But I guess this’ll do.

Major national news network? Lol. At last count, I think they had an audience of less than 40,000.

Here's hoping all the predictions of "dinosaur media" are finally coming to pass.

Rashida is barely even “black”. As most of you here already know, she is the daughter of Quincy Jones and actress Peggy Lipton. Rashida is the most attractive of all Quincys daughters. Heading a media network is not an easy job, no matter what your previous experience. There will be much that you cannot directly control.

Jumping ship before it gets sold off like the square three legged table it is.

“The View” looking up swirling down. Priceless

These individuals who can’t stand Trump, but are ok with Joe...
I do not get this. Hate because the media told them to? I wish I knew.
Does that mind refuse to see or hear anything after the negativity sets in.

Trump is the one..if you want to hope
