MS NOW, feeling anchored at the bottom of the sea by some of its anchors, announced a major staff shakeup.
MS NOW’s new president, Rebecca Kutler, aka Becky Slasher, has been struggling to find her footing since she had former MSNBC president Rashida Jones forced out.
This is the second major shakeup at MS NOW since Kutler took the reins on February 12th. Kutler’s first move was to cut at a time when MSNBC had only a Black female host, Joy Reid.
Getting rid of Joy Reid was one of her primary goals. To save face, Kutler also fired Katie Phang.
She also wanted to get out of the Muslim Brotherhood (Ali Velshi, Ayman Mujaadin, and Mehdi Hasan). After pressure from rich Gulf states, she backed down from pleasing Benjamin Netanyahu on that project.
According to TV Insider, MS Now will cut the Morning Joe show from 4 hours to 3. Morning Joe currently airs from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. In June, it will air from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
Regardless of Joy Reid’s biased left-leaning stance, she does have a bright mind. Kay Phang, who just got caught up in the politics, is also an exceptional attorney with great analytical skills.
Getting rid of Joy Reid allowed MS NOW to split her annual salary among two to three less-qualified hosts. Reportedly, MS NOW paid Reid $5 million yearly.
In place of Joy Reid, Ms. Kutler hired three lightweight talking heads. She gets three for the price of one, with less irritation, and hosts who are more in line with her politics.
Kutler placed blabbermouth Symone Sanders, Alicia Menendez, and Republican Michael Steel, whom MS NOW pays to talk in line with democratic politics.
A large segment of liberal white America will tune in to the Weednight to watch Symone Sanders.
They enjoy a good comedy show with that caricature of a sassy, obese Black woman like the Nell Carter image.
While Michael Steel isn’t obese, that Re-run mouthpiece is somewhat getting attached to him.
It’s like Steven A. Smith (SAS), he’s sassy. He thinks he’s going to be president.
Kutler also created a Saturday show (The Weekend) for her friend Catherine Rampell that she brought over from CNN.
Rampell doesn’t have what it takes to carry the show on her own, so Kutler paired her with Ayman Mohyeldin and Elise Jordan.
Like Michael Steel, MS NOW pays the Republican Elise Jordan to talk like a Democrat.
Hey, if you want to bash President Trump, pay me, and I’ll do it, she says.
Kutler removed Chris Jansing from her noon to 2:00 p.m. slot. Ms. Jansing, who is one of the brightest journalists at MS NOW, will now bounce around the “newsroom.”
MS NOW has moved anchor Stephanie Ruhle from the 11:00 p.m. time slot to Ana Cabrera’s show time. Ana Cabrera is a somewhat measured journalist.
One of the brightest ones at MS NOW. Stephanie Ruhle is smart, too, but she’s a slick one. Luke Russert is back.
Luke Russert is to MSNBC what Natalie Cole was to Capitol Records.
His father, Tim Russert, played a major role in building NBC News and MSNBC.
Natalie Cole’s father, Nat King Cole, played a major role in building Capitol Records.
