When MSNBC pulls out the plug of Reidit was strange because there was no warning that such a change could come to the viewer. There was reportedly tension between Reid and her corporate boss. She didn’t like straightforward criticism or progressive attitudes. What seemed to make them uncomfortable was Reid’s comfort in openly and truthfully discussing issues such as racism and sexism related to Trump and the present Republican Party.
Lead was loved by her most powerful colleagues, like Rachel Madow on the network. Maddow defends Reid, calling her fire and other non-white anchors like Katie Phang, mistakes.
Viewing Reid Out rating data will make even more bees lively.
According to Everyday beast, Reed’s audience was increasing when she was cancelled:
However, the Beasts have obtained an audience rating edited by Nielsen, which the news network uses to evaluate the success of the show and the people who appear in them. They show no indication that Reid is experiencing an audience alongside her MSNBC co-stars. In fact, she and all other prime time lineups had risen in February.
…
Although ratings for all MSNBC Primetime Hosts have been reduced during the post-election period, lead drops are virtually invisible than her peers. Melver’s total audience ratings fell 42% (1.552 million vs. 903,000) from the pre-election rating from November 6th to the end of February to the 2024 election. Hayes fell 45% over that same period (1496 million vs. 820,000).
Chris Hayes’ All In is regularly one of the lowest rated shows on the network, but he is allowed to continue chugging together.
MSNBC will soon be spun into its own company, and it makes sense to ask whether the decision to eliminate so many progressive, white Trump critics on the network has something to do with easing the administration.
Trump called Reed a racist And she celebrated her firing in the true society.
Many mainstream media have bent their knees and catered to the cards. Viewers who invest their time watching MSNBC programming deserve an explanation.
Lead’s contract ended with the network, but it appears that MSNBC executives have chosen the path of minimal resistance by removing the powerful progressive colour voices that may have been made to please Donald Trump.
