LOL: MSNBC Reportedly Demands That Joy Reid, Stephanie Ruhle Take Pay Cuts to Keep Their Jobs

"Resistance journalism" -- spoiler, it's not journalism if it has the specific goal of political advocacy and propaganda -- is finally dying.

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.
...
The reported lowball offers follow an exclusive story by The Post that staffers at MSNBC's headquarters at 30 Rock are in a panic over looming layoffs after parent company Comcast announced plans to spin off its cable properties.
The upheaval has led to reports that MSNBC president Rashida Jones is considering leaving the network after Trump is sworn in on Jan. 20.
A spokesperson for Jones denied she is leaving.
Meanwhile, MSNBC's primetime ratings continue to nosedive, tanking more than 60% since last month's historic election victory by Trump. It fell behind ratings-challenged CNN in the coveted 25-to-54 demographic for the year in Total Day viewers.

Lower than CNN? Ouch, that's terrible.

Meanwhile, ABC also gave a new contract to professional defamation agent George Stephanopolous, but also with a big cut.

And they only did that, per reports, to avoid having "his blood on their hands."

In other words: They really wanted to fire him but thought the optics and backlash from fellow "Resistance journalist" Marxists would be too great.

Disney renews George Stephanopoulos' contract -- with pay cut -- despite $16M Trump settlement because it didn't want 'his blood on their hands': source

Disney decided to renew ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos' contract -- despite having to fork over a $16 million legal settlement -- because they didn't want "his blood on their hands," The Post has learned.
Stephanopoulos, who hosts "This Week" and is a co-anchor on "Good Morning America," was handed a multi-year deal -- though he took a pay cut from his lofty $20 million annual salary, sources said.
"No one wants a talent mess on their hands," one longtime network executive told The Post. "No one wants an angry George Stephanopoulos loose in the world. No one wants to humiliate George by firing him or to have his blood on their hands."

...
"George is well-liked by the liberal-elite in Hollywood and The Hamptons. He's friends with Jerry Seinfeld, Michael J Fox and Netflix boss Ted Sarandos," the source said, adding that he operates in the same "bubble" as left-leaning Disney top brass.
"George has carefully cultivated a relationship with [Disney CEO] Bob Iger and board members. He remains a respected member of the Disney family."
But inside the halls of ABC News, staffers remain "livid" over Iger's decision to stand by Stephanopoulos and cave to Trump.
"They paid off Trump for a mistake that George made. How many jobs could that $16 million have saved?" said a second network source, citing a fresh round of layoffs at the network.
"I think people are angry at the humiliation of the settlement with Trump. People are angry with George's unforced errors and his defiance and that he's rewarded for his mistakes with another lucrative contract even if his salary has been cut," the first source said.
The source said that even if the journalist is well-regarded by top brass, he isn't a favorite among staffers.
Sources said Stephanopoulos is a "loner" who doesn't play well with others.
They noted that Stephanopoulos won't take part in election night coverage or appear on air with "ABC World News Tonight" anchor David Muir.
"Most great anchors are larger than life. George has always been smaller than life. And this humiliating settlement has made him even smaller," the network exec said.

He is smaller than life. That's true.

Which might be why he won't appear on camera in a group setting. His tiny manlet body would be exposed.

49 I think these latest rounds of "pay cuts" are really firings in disguise. The networks recognize these people are worthless DEI dreck that aren't worth a squirt of UTI piss.

But they don't want the bad press and accusations of RACISM that will inevitably come if they outright fire them. So they offer "pay cuts" that are designed to be unacceptable, hoping these turds will just up and quit.

It's been working so far. Let it continue en masse.

There is, actually, if you can identify the actual customers. The audience is not a customer, it is the actual product that is delivered to the customers. The customer is who must be satisfied to continue receiving paychecks, and who's input is essential on continuing operations.

I suspect it is the major advertisers, like big harma, food and banking services that both advertise and extend operating credit, the other networks who rely on excluding competition and bundling, and the regulators.

The audience is just a product, and the only value they have is that they watch.

So he's lying. I get it maybe the extra troops were classified and now they aren't. But he did not just find out.

That seems to be the way things are heading.

The Lord again seems to be exposing DC through Trump's (and others') efforts.

I saw a rant by Stephen A Smith, who appears as trying to hold on to his identity as a Democrat, as he was irate that FIB assets were actually there on Jan 6. Seems like some conservatives were actually getting to him about how that was something you "couldn't" say prior to it becoming an official disclosure.

Smith was even irate that as a Democrat he wasn't supposed to find anything wrong with FIB assets being in the crowd on Jan 6.

But the Dems can't keep a story for too long, because they probably didn't remember that this was supposed to be a perilous tipping point of overthrowing the government rather than a situation that was monitored by Law Enforcement.

Hey, if you don't want to be sued for defamation, don't defame people.

But, I know why this would fail. Because it should be fully legal to defame somebody who is going to "destroy democracy". Nobody should suffer for defaming Trump, because anything bad said about Trump is "probably true". (Which is how we got the New York "verdict", isn't it?)

266 Ace - And they only did that, per reports, to avoid having "his blood on their hands."

In other words: They really wanted to fire him but thought the optics and backlash from fellow "Resistance journalist" Marxists would be too great.

"Resistance" journalists and Marxists are the last remaining brand-loyal viewers ABC News has.

ABC doesn't give a sh*t about George's "blood" wherever it may be. All Disney cares about is their stock price, and I suspect that ABC isn't a major contributing factor in that regard.

This leads me to believe that Disney wants ABC tied up in bows and put in a pretty box labeled "Fire Sale!".

278 >>My god, this woman got busted off TWO presidential campaigns for malpractice and she still has a top-level politics-adjacent career. If you or I made moves like that?

She took the thankless job of head of the DNC after DWS let Hillary take it over and steal the 2016 nomination for her. She knows A LOT about what they the DNC and Hillary were up to, to the point that at the time she was saying she didn't want to meet the same fate as Seth Rich. It appears she's found a way to make herself useful/leveraged what she knows to stay high up in the party...

Makes me think of James Thurber's description of what happened to their car when they parked it too close to the streetcar tracks and the streetcar caught and dragged it: "Tires booped and whooshed, fenders queeled and graked, the steering wheel rose up like a specter and disappeared down [the avenue] with a melancholy whirring sound."

330 Trump never said, "Go Ef Yourself". That was clearly a metaphor in Ruhle's tattle-tale of the phone call. Unless she a phone call recording in which the obscenity is made in the context of her existence, it should be characterized as a decline for an interview. If the sluts at MSNBC want to add their obscenity-laced description, in the same manner in which Nichole Wallace feigns an orgasm at least twice per show, it behooves more reasonable people to not accept their fetish fantasies.

333 "The source said that even if the journalist is well-regarded by top brass, he isn't a favorite among staffers.

Sources said Stephanopoulos is a "loner" who doesn't play well with others.

They noted that Stephanopoulos won't take part in election night coverage or appear on air with "ABC World News Tonight" anchor David Muir.

"Most great anchors are larger than life. George has always been smaller than life. And this humiliating settlement has made him even smaller," the network exec said.

He is smaller than life. That's true.

Which might be why he won't appear on camera in a group setting. His tiny manlet body would be exposed."
