After MSNBC Ratings Plummet, Joe Reid Is Facing a Major Pay Cut
After MSNBC Ratings Plummet, Joe Reid Is Facing a Major Pay Cut

The liberal media empire is crumbling, and the free market is delivering a brutal verdict. As Americans increasingly reject progressive propaganda, mainstream media networks are watching their empires collapse in realtime.

One particular network’s desperate scramble to stay afloat perfectly illustrates this spectacular fall from grace.

MSNBC, once a titan of liberal programming, is facing an unprecedented crisis. The network that spent years pushing progressive narratives is now watching its audience vanish. Parent company Comcast has announced plans to spin off its cable properties, sending shockwaves through the progressive media establishment.

And the network’s top talking heads are facing judgment day, including this one radical, race-baiting progressive.

From The Blaze:
> Earlier this month, Nielsen Media Research revealed that “The ReidOut” lost 47% of its total audience… Reid’s show even hemorrhaged 52% of viewers from the critical 25-54 age demographic…

According to Lachlan Cartwright of the Ankler newsletter, Reid and Stephanie Ruhle — the MSNBC host of “The 11th Hour” who courted mockery with her softball Harris interview and embarrassing attempt at fact-checking Vice President-elect JD Vance’s hyperbolic joke — are similarly facing pay cuts.

The ReidOut Could be On its Way Out

Nobody exemplifies this spectacular collapse quite like Joy Reid. The ultra-woke host of “The ReidOut” has seen her show hemorrhage an astounding 47% of its total audience since Election Day.

Reid’s program, which once boasted 1.4 million viewers, now struggles to maintain even 760,000 – a devastating indictment of her brand of divisive politics.

The exodus is even more pronounced among the crucial 25-54 age demographic, where Reid lost an eye-watering 52% of viewers.

It seems Americans of all ages are tired of being lectured about their supposed prejudices by millionaire media personalities.

“We were so Harris propaganda that when she lost, viewers were shocked,” admitted one on-air pundit to the Daily Beast, describing the network’s overall decline.

“It turned into one giant echo chamber. If MSNBC wants to be of service to its viewers, they can’t keep them in fantasy land.”

MSNBC Facing Wake-up Call

The financial consequences are hitting hard. The network that once threw money at liberal personalities is now scrambling to cut costs.

Rachel Maddow, their premier host, already took a $5 million pay cut from her astronomical $30 million salary.

Now, Reid and fellow host Stephanie Ruhle are reportedly facing similar salary slashes, with their respective $3 million and $2 million compensation packages on the chopping block.

This isn’t merely about declining ratings – it’s about the American people rejecting the progressive echo chamber these networks have constructed.

While Reid and her colleagues spent years promoting radical leftist ideology and demonizing traditional values, viewers were quietly voting with their remotes.

The network’s broader collapse is evident across its programming lineup. Shows like “Alex Wagner Tonight,” “Inside with Jen Psaki,” and “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” have all hit record lows.

Even “Morning Joe,” despite its post-election attempts to moderate its tone, has seen its audience plummet from over 1.14 million to just 691,000 viewers.

Americans Fight Back

This massive rejection of progressive programming sends a clear message: Americans are hungry for truth, not propaganda. The free market, as it always does, is efficiently separating wheat from chaff.

While liberal hosts may continue preaching to an ever-shrinking choir, their influence – and their paychecks – are diminishing by the day.

As traditional Americans continue to seek authentic voices and honest reporting, this may be just the beginning of a larger media reckoning.

The collapse of Reid’s audience proves that even in our divided times, truth and traditional values still resonate with viewers.

The only question remaining is whether MSNBC and its progressive peers will learn from this costly lesson or continue their march toward irrelevance.

After all, in America, the market always wins – and right now, it’s speaking loud and clear.

Key Takeaways:

  • MSNBC is losing viewership in the aftermath of Trump’s victory.
  • Joy Reid faces a big pay cut—along with Rachel Maddow—after she lost nearly half of her viewers.
  • Americans are becoming increasingly hostile to far-left media outlets.
