Rashida Jones has been the president of MSNBC since 2021 however might not final for much longer on the far left community.
Rumors are swirling within the political media world that Jones is considering leaving MSNBC in early 2025, as a result of community’s absolute implosion within the scores following Trump’s 2024 election victory.
It could be the fitting factor to do. Leaders usually step down if a model or firm that they’re in control of is totally ruined on their watch.
The Wrap stories:
MSNBC Chief Rashida Jones Mulls Exit After Trump Win, Rankings Crash | Report
As MSNBC suffers a steep scores drop within the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential victory, community President Rashida Jones is contemplating a potential exit from the job early subsequent 12 months, Oliver Darcy reported Tuesday.
In keeping with Darcy, a spokesperson for Jones denied the report; NBCUniversal representatives had no remark. However citing unnamed sources near the matter, Darcy wrote in his Standing e-newsletter that her potential exit would solely come in some unspecified time in the future after Trump is sworn in for his second time period on Jan. 20.
CNN’s Brian Stelter reported two sources of his personal confirmed that Jones is mulling an exit…
… the previous few weeks have been a nadir for the liberal-leaning cable information channel, which has seen a 50.7% primetime viewers drop since election evening. As of Nov. 27, MSNBC averaged 661,000 primetime viewers within the weeks following Trump’s victory. That’s down from the 1.34 million it averaged prior.
John Nolte of Breitbart Information, who’s an excellent media analyst, offers this rationalization:
Jones spent the final three-plus years setting MSNBC up for failure by pushing all her community’s chips into the center of the desk betting on Donald Trump’s fall. He’d both go to jail, get assassinated, or lose to Kamala Harris. This type of short-term pondering is idiotic. Sure, community executives at all times assume brief time period. However that is totally different. Most community execs run round questioning maintain onto their viewers. They don’t run round alienating half the nation and making the opposite half really feel like suckers.
Nothing — and I imply NOTHING — ready MSNBC viewers for Trump’s electoral triumph final month.
MSNBC’s days could also be numbered. If their gutter scores proceed, advertisers will finally draw back from them. If that occurs, it’s troublesome to see what may save them.
