Rachel Maddow staff to be let go as part of MSNBC overhaul
Guardian UK ^ | 02 25 2025 | Anna Betts

MSNBC has told the majority of the employees who produce Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid’s primetime evening news shows they are being let go as part of the network’s programming overhaul with the option to apply for new roles, according to two people directly familiar with the matter.

Maddow, the biggest star and highest-rated anchor at MSNBC, will get to keep her executive producer, Cory Gnazzo, and several other senior producers, the people said.

But the rest of Maddow’s team – along with producers who worked on the other cancelled shows, hosted by Katie Phang, Jonathan Capehart, Ayman Mohyeldin and Jose Diaz-Balart – have been given the option to claim severance or reapply for new roles at the network, the people said.

The Maddow team was let go because of a quirk of how they worked on both Maddow’s show and Alex Wagner’s show, when Maddow scaled back to hosting only Mondays and Wagner hosted Tuesday to Friday.

It is only a matter of time (and I suspect a short amount) before Maddow is canceled. Her rant about Reid being canceled and insisting it was due to racism probably didn’t do her any favors.

These media outlets are finding their stream of money from NGOs is slowing to a trickle so they are going to have to cut costs somewhere. Overpaid mentally ill leftist lesbos is probably a good place to start.

“The Maddow team was let go because of a quirk of how they worked on…”

The Maddow team was let go because of a quirk of how they worked on nothing nothing but Trump and Trump supporters

There’s now nothing to talk about. Nothing to tune in for

Anyone with talent and research can get enough of an audience for a podcast

The producers? They ought to have been saving up, going for credentialing and anticipating that hate destroys itself.

What’s going on here.

Rachel publicly criticized her bosses for letting Joy Reid go.

Now Rachel sees her staff cut back.

Some of these liberal types must think they have some constitutional right to have a program on a major cable news network.

Hey Rachel. Are you going to take some of that $30 million to keep your staff employed? That’s what Jay Leno did when NBC told him that his show was too expensive to produce. Put your money where your Socialist mouth is and keep the little people employed!!!

She needs not the staff, since she lies easily and professionally. Ever heard an actual truth oozing from those...er...things that help her form words?

"..will get to keep her executive producer, Cory Gnazzo, and several other senior producers.."

That it takes so many "senior" producers to compose the sewage filled
screed madcow spews causes me to firmly believe madcow is just a
high-tech inanimate dummy.

Their ugliness (outer and inner) don’t deserve it but here is
As Tears Go By. Marianne Faithfull.

One said of her: She survived heartache, she survived drug addiction, she survived cancer 3 times. Then survived Covid.

Jan 31, 2025 — Marianne passed away peacefully in London today, in the company of her loving family. She will be dearly missed,” the statement said.

Madcow goes on a blistering rant against her employer.

And they fire her staff? MSNBC is truly effed up.

Breaking News (fake):
Jen Psaki was gloating over being promoted at MSNBC and was twirling around and giggling when she slipped on the tears from Reid and Maddow, causing her to end up in a two legged cast in the hospital.

“It just goes to show you never can tell.”

-—Chuck Berry, You Never Can Tell, 1964 hit.
