Rachel Maddow is back to five nights a week, and Trump’s second term seems to have given MSNBC a new sense of purpose. So why is the TV network's future still uncertain? Inside the turmoil roiling MSNBC👇 www.politico.com/news/magazin...

For 20 days straight, Trump has unleashed unconstitutional or cruel executive orders, attacking judges What will be the final straw? Are there enough brave among us? #Resist #TrumpDictatorship #DefendDemocracy #WakeUpAmerica

Rachel Madow is a master of tantric tv journalism. Her show could easily be cut in half with no loss of meaningful content.

Well, it often does takes considerable amount of time to get around to the subject at hand, but she does shed light on crucial but otherwise buried stories and I appreciate that. Despite the guessing game with her initial monologue.

Certainly “good television.” Great for the ratings.

Joy Reid is *not* "hyperbolic". What's happening here is looking like a knee-bend. Not the good and healthy kind, either.

B/c no one really cares what talking heads and Fred Savage in girl form have to say. People want authenticity, some shred of journalistic integrity. Networks stripped themselves of it and are nothing more than propaganda & advertisement machines. It's so disingenuous that people have disconnected

If Maddow drops to one day per week she should be paid accordingly. Maybe free up some cash for those panel type discussions mentioned in the article. The Fair and Balanced Propaganda Channel needs counter programming but, definitely fact based not the putrid pabulum coming out of Fox.

Her contract states 1 day per week & she is returning to that schedule May 1. As the article states, she also does podcasts & documentaries for the network. MSNBC pays her what she’s worth to them. She single-handedly brought their ratings back up during the 100 days.

Not arguing any of her contributions but if MSNBC is to survive they are going to have to create better on air product and they'll need money to do it.

Anti-Trump TV by liberals for liberals. That's all they are. Would they even exist if Trump didn't? Oh right, they also suppress the left. Can't have people on air being serious about raising taxes on the rich...

Here’s one of many relevant examples of a prominent MSNBC host doing exactly what you say he doesn’t: www.nbcnews.com/think/opinio... That’s the problem with assumptions based on stereotypes.

*some of @msnbc.com. They’ve still got some significant turds floating in the bowl… Also, I missed where @aliciamenendez.bsky.social in her rants about unethical, immoral, and pos politicians steal, break their oaths of office, and profit on being traitors talked about her dad, stepmom, etc.

What is Politico talking about ???, she's doing 1 night a week on Mondays only again starting after the 100th day of Trump's presidency. Was there a new announcement since last night ?? Jen Psaki is taking over her slot.

There’s a limited ability for liberals to pull centrists increasingly as some of their positions and preferences are untenable for many. Trump is beyond descriptively bad, but that doesn’t mean left is default go to as it may have once been. Liberal cultural preferences r just a turnoff overall

If you think MSNBC is on the left, you have no idea either what “left” means or what that network spends most of its day doing
