MSNBC’s Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle will reportedly need to take a pay cut if they want to remain in their anchor chairs as the struggling cable network continues to cut costs.
The left-leaning news channel — which recently gave star anchor Rachel Maddow a $5 million-a-year haircut from her annual $30 million haul — has been negotiating with Reid and Ruhle on new deals at reduced salaries, according to the Ankler newsletter.
The controversial Reid is believed to be earning $3 million a year to host her nightly 8 p.m. show, “The ReidOut,” according to the Washington Free Beacon.
Reid, who has been with the network since 2011 and in primetime since 2020, recently raised hackles again with a pre-Thanksgiving rant in which she accused Republicans of worshiping Donald Trump “instead of Jesus.”
Ruhle, host of “The 11th Hour” at 11 p.m. weeknights, is thought to make $2 million a year, the Free Beacon reported.
She has also been a frequent Trump basher but recently praised him for being more accessible to the press than President Biden. Ruhle revealed she was able to contact Trump on his cellphone — though he told her to “go f–k myself” when she asked for an interview, she quipped.
A third prominent host, Jonathan Lemire — who was elevated this month to co-host “Morning Joe” from anchoring “Way Too Early” — has also been offered a new contract at a reduced salary, the Ankler reported.
An MSNBC spokesperson reached by The Post said the network would not comment on personnel matters.

For what? Such a tragedy.
Racism?
Paid $3,000,000 a year and NOT worth 3 cents.
1500 bucks an hour
Star anchor Rachel Maddow $30 million per year cut to $25 million.
Oh, the humanity! How will she ever get by? Now she’ll be down for the struggle and sympathize with the masses that got a 30% haircut in spending power under O’Biden. The masses are going to welcome her with open arms.
Decline the offer. No, seriously show ‘them’ who’s boss! I double dog dare you.
Tell you what, I’ll do a show for half her pay. If you call in the next 15 minutes, I do it for half of her half.
Ain’t Affirmative Action wonderful for White self haters.
I wonder if Ruhle will tell them what Trump told here when she asked for an interview ;-)
though he told her to “go f–k myself”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I listened to Ruhle paraphrase their discussion and didn’t get the impression that PDJT actually said that. What he did say may have meant the same thing....
While her literal haircut was $1.99 at Marine Corps Surplus Barbers.
They call that an anchor chair?
MSNBC needs to do whatever necessary to keep the View. It will be the end of MSNBC-for good.
They should only make one penny a year.
Outrageous.
They could save millions by simply giving her what she’s really worth.
So much winning! Please, more winning! Never too much winning.
Maddow’s pronouns are he/him you philistine.
Hey, I’ll do it for half that.
