Rachel Maddow Takes Pay Cut With MSNBC's Future in Jeopardy

[Deminpenn]

76. Where MSNBC went wrong

was becoming all about Trump and his misdeeds all the time. For example, Wallace used to have interesting guests sitting around her table for real discussion. She's a great interviewer, asks good questions and follows up after listening carefully to what her guest had to say. She called out BS, too. But after Trump was elected and especially after Jan 6th, her show because completely alarmist every day. It was literally some variation of that every single day.

Same with Chris Hayes. He used to have guests on to dive into policy issues and details. He rarely did that after Jan 6th. The most recent time he had a guest on to talk policy, it was the expert on the oil market and trades who explained how Biden basically broke OPEC and stabilized the global oil market. It was fascinating and great information to counter and correct misinformation or misunderstanding.

I realize some of this was a result of covid and not having guests in studio, but once the covid protocols were lifted, MSNBC could have gone back to what they were doing or focused on all the great legistlation Biden/Dems passed and how it did and would improve the lives of everyday Americans, but, presumably made a business decision that harping on Trump drew more viewers.

Maybe being spun off will cause MSNBC to reassess and return to its roots of information presented with a progressive slant. not to be the liberal version of FoxNews.
