election because all they talked about was trump trump trump.

All Biden, all the time. How can I miss you if you won’t go away? Am I right? Is this a thing?

... so presumably they're the ones making the decisions about who gets docked.

Why isn't Andrea Mitchell being shown the door? Also Morning Joe's ratings tanked, does that mean he's getting fired?

time. She should have retired many years ago.

is it really the case that there are no male anchors affected?

Is there a disproportionate representation or skew between M and F anchors?

Might the F anchors earn disproportionately much?

I don't (know that I) have access to MSNBC so I can honestly say that apart from small excerpts posted here for the various hosts, I've never seen them and honestly don't know what the MSNBC lineup is for talk shows.

(Still, $30 million/year for being a talk-show host? I wouldn't know what to do with $1M/year. Sure, I could find a use for it for the first year--nicer house or at least a nicer neighborhood, hybrid car, upgrade instruments, but otherwise ...? I assume that host has never said, "Wait, how much money is that guy raking in each year? Nobody needs that kind of money!" that wasn't a punch line.)

Wouldn’t viewership go down after a years worth of trump and election intrigue? Which very quickly came to an end. Election fatigue? Stepping back, taking a break?

I didn’t see listed the boss of MSNBC taking a pay cut.

Of the guys were asked to take a pay cut?

in the 1950's TV

I would hope though that she would have also made arrangements so that if the ratings increased again her pay would go right back up immediately.

Multiple reports. What some people are asking here is whether women are being treated equitably—if all ratings dropped by similar amounts, then it shouldn’t be only the female anchors who are pressured to give up salary. Without the ratings data, it’s wrong to single out Rachel.

... excuse Joe and Mika (and Willie)... then move Joy Reid earlier as the host of Morning Joy! Add Velshi as her co-host!

own shows. Wish Ali was on weeknights.

We will tune back in once we come to terms with this disaster of an election and have a fight in us, again.

If they quit their obsession with Orange Motherfucker. Especially showing his ugly mug with that shit-eating grin.

eom

I turn devices off when I hear it.

I turned off msnbc well before the election and I won't go back. I also stopped watching all the late night comedians. My tv is off most of the time and my electric bill has gone down along with my blood pressure.

I plan to support media that is out there telling the truth. That’s one way I intend to contribute to democracy while we still have a shred of it.

Andrea Mitchell will be gone. Right?

correspondent type of job.

His segments on election night ... just remembering him at that board raises my BP now. His past in Jersey politics during the Christie regime made me suspicious he’s a R troll.

He's fucking up football as well as politics. Lucky us.

I don’t have anything against Kornacki, personally. I didn’t like the outcome of the election. He pretty much nailed that.

n/t

writers, and analysts. Create more and better content, expand beyond the asinine rehashing of what Mango Mussolini does on any given day, and maybe, just maybe, more people will tune in to be informed.

Amazing how that might work.

. . . by replacing Stephanie Ruhle and Nicole Wallace with old Three Stooges' or Lassy movies or episodes of Gunsmoke. Would be a definite improvement and probably pull more viewers. And ditch Katy Tur and Steve Konracki at the same time.

Whatever they're paying him is damn sure too much.

If the number are right.

Maddow- $30 million
Brezinki - $8 million
Scarborough - $8 million
Geist - 5 $ million
O'Donnell- $4 million
Reid -$3 million
Ruhle- $2 million
Hayes - $1.9 million + an additional $500k performance bonus.
Melber - $162,644

Wagner - $600,000

a full time rap artist.

Cut Joe and Mika. Expecting fans of a liberal network ( the ONLY one on traditional broadcast media AFAIK) to start their day with REPUBLICAN Lite is DISGRACEFUL.

As far as the rest of the lineup:

I devour Nicole and Lawrence like a delicious rich Caramel-based dessert. I wish Lawrence’s slot was earlier. I don’t have recording ability. We don’t have cable.

I love Rachel. I wish she was on more than once per week.

I can take or leave Ari. I would like him more if he stuck to normal commentary and interviews instead of turning everything into a rap-lyric-pop culture riff. Drives me nuts. As an aside, the network obviously doesn’t allow one of Ari’s frequent guests, John Flannery, to speak freely. I started following John on his YouTube channel and he’s much more vocal and goes in-depth and doesn’t pull his punches. I was shocked at the difference between his guest appearances and his honesty on YouTube.

Joy talks too fast and always seems way OTT.

The others are only on my periphery so you can keep them or ditch them.

Sorted

MSNBC's problems are his fault, not the on-air talent's. I'm betting not. Until he has some skin in the game, he should keep his fucking mouth shut.

I see no need to watch only to be reminded every hour, everyday that some people are above the law.

EOM

the wall they have eliminated MSNBC. They have two each of CNN and Fox.

Why not pay cuts for: Ari Melber, Chris Hayes and Lawrence O'Donnell?

Or, better yet, replace Morning Joe with Ali Velshi and Katie Phang?

Then dump Katy Tur altogether. (I've heard Andrea Mitchell is retiring).

I wonder why Alex Wagner wasn't mentioned.

I appreciate how much time Lawrence O'Donnell gave to Democratic candidates during the 2024 general election. He didn't barrage them with inside baseball questions; he let them get out their message.

Lawrence also stayed far away from the "dump Biden" media groundswell and would broadcast Kamala live at her rallies for 20-30 minutes at a time during his hour.

Unlike many others, Lawrence understood the assignment.

By articulating them in the lamest way imaginable.

if I can help it.
