MSNBC bloodbath hits Rachel Maddow staffers in major overhaul that has claimed Joy Reid, Alex Wagner shows

MSNBC has reportedly informed a majority of staffers who work on Rachel Maddow’s prime time opinion show that they are being let go as part of the network’s restructuring that resulted in the cancellation of Joy Reid’s program as well as those of other hosts.

The Comcast-owned, left-leaning channel told Maddow staffers they have the option of reapplying for new roles at the network or accepting a severance payout, according to the news site Guardian.

Maddow, MSNBC’s most prominent anchor and top-rated host, will retain her executive producer, Cory Gnazzo, along with several senior producers, the Guardian reported.

However, the rest of her team, along with producers from other recently canceled shows — including those hosted by Alex Wagner, Katie Phang, Jonathan Capehart, Ayman Mohyeldin and José Díaz-Balart — will need to find new jobs either within the network or at a different company, according to the report.

I’s sure she feels just horrible. She can give each one $15K without incurring the gift tax. No doubt she’s going share a little bit of her $30 million salary to make the transition of these poor jamokes easier.

Oh good grief. Any ONE Freeper could handle that job. Either the show prep or the firings!

MSNBC to Democrats: “Look, we carried your political water for 4 years, lost money, lost viewers, destroyed our brand. You don’t control Fed.gov money any longer, you can’t force your corporate crony advertisers to use us, like before. We’re done!”

Clay and Buck mentioned that of the hundreds of cities that broadcast their show in some of those cities , by themselves, have more people listening than the entire audience for Joy Reid

Rachel would quit in solidarity, but she’s got nowhere else to go.

With all the bru-ha-ha going on over this I decided to watch MSNBC one night for a short time. First thing I noticed was the same advertisers advertised on Fox.

One thing you have to say about demon RATS, they double and then triple down on stupid.

They still haven’t figured out that men and women are sick of dudes acting and trying to appear like women.

I mean really, those guys need to cut it out. We women are having to take the trash out ourselves now!

just kidding 😁

Those producers are DNC and CIA propagandists. Now they are losing their staff. So the producer has to actually work. But I assume they are not going to want to do that unless some outside group starts to pay for them to hire contractors to do the work for them. NBCnews is simply a CIA NGO. Its not left leaning news. Its propaganda straight from the swamp. In fact the whole idea of right and left, conservative and liberal is fake. I can handle a left leaning person who follows the law and believes in free speech. I cannot handle a right winged person who does not believe in sticks and stones. And uses the police to fight crime by breaking laws.

MSNBC is the bottom of the barrel. Where can you go after getting kicked out there? NPR?

The USAID money has been obviously been cut off, so Comcast has to make one of two choices either subsidize their propaganda channel from revenue from their other businesses or scale back costs to match the profits generated from the advertising revenue generated by MSNBC. We are now seeing what Comcast has chosen to do. I hope that Elon Musk does a deep drive into how much Comcast, Disney, and CBS, & Time Warner were getting to produce “mainstream” news from the Federal government and get our money back and jail the people who funneled the money to them.

“If the place is so racist, Maddow, why are you there?”

I can give you $30 million reasons...

Where else can you show up once a week and get paid $577,000 per appearance?

That is freakin’ obscene and these people that are being laid off need to understand they are being sacrificed so msnbc can pay Maddow because more than likely msnbc was being subsidized by USAID.

It’s appropriate that Joy was cut in February. She’s both Black and History
