Could Rachel Maddow's job be in danger? MSNBC's parent company, NBC, is not happy with Maddow.

[AsianTrumpSupporter]

Maddow just reinforced the American people's lack of trust in the legacy media and reinforced the legacy media's reputation as fake news.

She is in big trouble

 

[ABikerSailor]

I seriously doubt NBC is going to get rid of her. She's got decent ratings, and her show is one of the ones that they run again on the weekend. Not every NBC reporter with a show gets that treatment.

For overhyping a story?

If talking heads got in "trouble" for that none would exist. Get a grip.

OP seems to have found a YouTube talking head wannabe and thinks that's a "source".

If a network were getting ready to show one of their hosts the door they also wouldn't be publicizing them on late night talk shows like Fallon.

There ain't no such thing as bad publicity. However anticlimactic that particular show was, it created buzz, and buzz creates ratings. Some wags have no idea how mass media works.

If it's a slow enough news week that she gets mocked on SNL ---- she's hit paydirt.

I doubt that Maddow is going to lose his show.

He is very popular with the show's liberal loon base. ...

Pogo.....and who is the other one?

Pogo doesn't have TV. But Pogo knows how media works. That's why Pogo doesn't have TV.

Comcast which owns NBC Universal, the parent company of NBC, is trying to move right to take advantage of Disney's disastrous move left even with ESPN. Since Maddow and Scarborough's combined ratings are barely a rounding error in gross, much less, net revenue this could get real interesting.

I keep telling y'all ----------- mass media companies don't move "right' or "left". They move UP.
Nobody makes money with lateral moves. And making money is all they care about.

Exactly. Being a money losing show that appeals mostly to the unemployed is a bad place to start throwing rocks.

Which appealing to the left generally doesn't.

Rachael Maddow does a great job and has four years of steady work humiliating our President on a daily basis

Riiiiiiiiight.....

You're prolly right. They need Gullibles.

MadCow disease. Good riddence

Fake news!

If she loses her job, I'm confident Russia's RT would consider hiring her. They certainly share the same ideology...

Maddow stays or goes, doesn't matter. Nobody will watch MSNBC anyway.
