I had no idea this was the same Rashida Jones. A good comic actress, but what the heck did she know about running a news network or any kind of network?!

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.”

Oh. That Rashida!
Sometimes, carnage can be beautiful.
Of course! She has led the network to the rattings cellar. Quite an accomplishment!

LOL! How did that CNN+ work out Chris?!
👍
No, it isn’t. It’s a different Rashida Jones. But maybe you already knew that.
Rashida Jones named next president of MSNBC. Phil Griffin will step down after 25 years at the cable news channel. Dec 7 2020.
[...]
Conde noted that in the past year Jones has helped guide MSNBC's coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic, the unrest and social justice protests that broke out over the treatment of Black Americans and the 2020 election. She also helped with two influential series at the network, "Justice for All" and "Climate in Crisis."...
Jones' promotion, the first major executive appointment by Conde, comes after he announced a goal this year for the staff of NBC News to be made up of 50 percent women and 50 percent people of color. He didn't put a deadline on the initiative. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/all/rashida-jones-named-next-president-msnbc-n1250296
She’s leaving because PMSNBC will soon become equal to a local cable news service once Comcast spins it off. She’s using Trump’s win as the excuse.
Half black, half white.
she’s gorgeous
I think so, too. Meaning the Rashida that is the daughter of Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton.
Looks like her mother, who, despite her looks, was Jewish on both sides, making Rashida-actress also Jewish.
Jumping ship before Musk buys it and fires her.
WHO? TOGTFO.
