MSNBC’s Joy Reid & Stephanie Ruhle Reportedly Offered Pay Cuts to Keep Jobs
The shake-ups continue at MSNBC as new reports claim that Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle have been offered pay cuts so that they remain in their anchor chairs moving forward.
According to the Ankler newsletter, the news network has been negotiating with Reid and Ruhle on new deals at reduced salaries. This comes after the same publication recently reported that star anchor Rachel Maddow took a $5 million annual pay cut from her reported $30 million annual package to remain with MSNBC.
Reid, who hosts the nightly 8:00 pm show The ReidOut, is currently said to be earning $3 million a year, per the Washington Free Beacon, while Ruhle, who hosts The 11th Hour at 11:00 pm weeknights, is said to make $2 million a year.
The Ankler also reports that Jonathan Lemire, who was recently moved to a permanent co-host slot on Morning Joe‘s 9 am hour, has been offered a new contract at a reduced salary.
The changes come after MSNBC’s parent company, Comcast, announced plans to spin off its cable properties — MSNBC will join CNBC, Oxygen, E!, Syfy, and the Golf Channel as part of a new company called SpinCo. According to the New York Post, this led to panic behind the scenes as on-air reporters and staffers worried about potential layoffs.
This comes amid ratings controversy for MSNBC, which has seen some of its shows mark record lows since Donald Trump‘s presidential election win last month. Alex Wagner Tonight, Inside with Jen Psaki, and The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell all recently hit record lows.
That said, Inside with Jen Psaki aired its most-watched telecast since the election on Monday, December 9, averaging 832,000 total viewers. This was up +17% versus the prior-4-week average.
Elsewhere, Morning Joe has seen backlash after hosts Joe Scarborough and Mike Brzezinski met with Trump after his election victory. Critics slammed the hosts and the show for sucking up to the president-elect and trying to appease the incoming administration. Scarborough hit out at his critics in a 20-minute rant on the December 5 episode.
While Morning Joe saw a drop from 839,000 total viewers to 680,000 total between the episode where the hosts discussed their meeting with Trump and the episode after, the show has remained relatively steady since.
The show averaged 691,000 total viewers during the week of the Trump meeting announcement, which was only a 1.7% decline from the previous week’s average of 703,000. That said, both weeks were down significantly from the show’s previous quarter average of 1.14 million viewers.

I think the loss of listeners is not due to the content of the network programming, it is the result of the election. The anti-Trumpers do not want to watch the news. They don't want to watch Donald Trump, listen to his voice, or know anything he is doing. How do I know? I am one of them.

I'm here to confirm the same about 2anti-trumpsters i know, they don't wanna hear any about politics news....poor things sounds so deflated when i try to talk anything political, so i know i can't tell them i voted trump.
Joe should have kept his promise to not run, that is why i voted for him,..and then as a Jamaican-American, kamala insulted my Jamaican heritage was too much to get my support and even earned my ire, i am so very very happy she lost because i don't think i could take the president making a mockery of my heritage for 4 years.

I feel exactly the same way. I'm a big fan of MSNBC (R.Maddow and J.Reid, especially), but I have no desire to hear anything from anybody about donald drumph. I don't even want to see his face. Therefore, I've begged off of TV COMPLETELY since the election. I regret that it's hurting MSNBC though.

I agree with your comment Madeline -- but we have got to keep informed -- we cannot shut it out. Our Nation is under attack from within caused by the hate filled Trump -- Why this man hates the country that made his family rich is a huge puzzle -- but there are ungrateful persons everywhere and he is one of them. The world is watching and we need to pray listen pay attention and march speak out -- we have to save our Country -- it is slipping away to be the next dictatorship -- but there are more working people than there are rich people and we need to remember that --

I learned that one morning. I woke up at 6am, i watched the show and dozed off. I awoke a little after 8 and was hearing the exact same thing. I swore I was able to see into the future. I really thght I had magically powers. But then the next day, it happened again, except I didn't doze off. At that point I realized, they are actually repeating the show again. Smh.

We heard more about Trump and his trials than concentrating on Dems winning the election. You have reported on Trump for 8 years! Now, we have to listen how Trump is screwing us for 4 more years! That's why I don't watch as much as before as well as your other loyal viewers.

We have got to listen -- we cannot ignore what is going on -- Trump is hell bent on destroying this Nation like he destroys everything he touches -- We have got to pay attention for this is where we live and this is where our children or families live -- Trump hate that people of color have important positions in government -- but those people of color are the ones working for all the people -- yes!! the fact is when people of color work for change -- everyone benefits -- not just people of color -- the sooner we accept that the better off all f us will be and our Country will be -- Africans were brought to this country against their will -- the Indians were killed for their land just like Palestinians are being killed for their land - but Americans are elevating the American Indian -- they are fully part of our Nation -- unlike Palestinians that are vilified and lied about -- but the world is watching -- and it is a disgraceful shame that Palestinians are being killed for their kindness their generosity their compassion -- so that their land can be stolen from them as lies are told about Palestinians -- it is very shameful and the world is watching -- when you speak out it is not antisemitism -- you speak out because you know right from wrong -- and the lies told about Palestinians must stop -- the staling of their land must stop -- it is shameful -- the world is watching.

I stopped watching because MSNBC did exactly what they did in 2016. Led the audience to believe that Kamala had it in the bag, she was even going to win Iowa. All lies!
Secondly they are all obsessed with Trump. I don't want to hear about him
all day everyday so I stopped watching.
Third I think Scarborough voted for Trump. He lies about it on air. But he's always been a hard-core republican so I don't buy the sudden transition. He'll say and do anything for ratings.

I agree about not wanting to see or hear Donald trump, however, but I don't understand is why people think that Donald Trump actually won this election without cheating. That really baffles my mind. Do you all really think that if anyone can build spaceships and have all these millions that they didn't rig those machines come on now. Just saying.
The problem with the news media is they need to stop covering Donald Trump and cover some real news!

Sorry but fox did the same thing with Trump polls. Polls are not conclusive. Kamala was up. Please there were millions of people who did not vote. They never came out. No one can predict that. It’s not lying . Fox News just paid 887 million for lying.!!!
5 1
-
O
All the anchors and reporters onMSNBC repeatedly said it was going to be a close election, and they were right. They REPORTED on the Iowa poll, done by an Iowa newspaper that is normally highly respected.
They did not make those numbers up, they REPORTED what the poll said. Don't you see the difference?
You are a low information voter. Try listening.
2 1
-
O
You cannot blame the reporters -- the question is were all the votes counted -- first we were told by Trump and his lackeys that he won by a landslide -- that was a huge lie -- Trump has been on a rant to destroy this Nation for years -- it has never been good enough for him -- I really do understand why he does not go some place else if he hates America so much -- If Trump love the Nation we would respect it -- but lets look cat the facts -- Trump did not respect his wives -- and they are immigrants except one -- one of them hardly speaks English -- the son in law took $2 billion from a foreign government -- Trump stole government documents -- and lied repeatedly about it -- Trump is. disgrace to the entire country -- why people cannot see that is puzzling -- VP Harris did not have nough time to let people get to know her -- but what we are all forgetting is the DEMOCRATS are the people that save the Nation republicans enjoy the hard work of Democrats -- as they bad mouth Democrats -- what kind of people are we?? We need to look at ourselves -- and take stock of the personal hate we carry around -- the misleading information that is forced on us -- Biden should never have run again -- he waited too long to let VP Harris have a chance to drag this Nation on the right track.

They know all the inside mechanics of government and their connections within the government makes them excellent newscasters. Others are attorneys offering insight on laws and the constitution too. All are very proficient in their fields.

Cable in Italy is $20/month!!! there is no justification that cable should be as expensive as it is here in the USA. We all need to speak out about the cost -- CEO salaries are way too high -- take united healthcare the CEO that was killed it is reported was making $30 million a year!!!~ all the time they are denying claims and keeping the money seniors are entitled to from their OTC -- then the new CEO blames the system -- no shame that same new CEO tried to take $104 million out of the company!!! He said the system is failing -- how shameful and how cowardly -- he takes no responsibility for the dishonesty of the way UHC treats its members -- taking the OTC money from seniors is fraud -- the money should be put on a visa type card so the seniors can pay their bills -- telling them they can pay their rent with the OTC card is entirely misleading -- I know people trying to use the money to pay their bills but can't ge the money off because the insurance companies are not making it possible to do so -- I work with seniors that use OTC cards -- they cannot get the money off the card -- We all need to speak out against the abuse the general population suffer at the hands of senior management and CEO's -- we need to speak out against their misleading information -- but more we the public need to be more vigilant -- demand lower cable prices so we can be informed!

The noose is tightening, the family is lawyering up,Trump will never set foot in the white house again, etc, etc. And they never criticize Democrats as of they never do crazy things. It's just another Fox News biased reporting

MSNBC has lost its credibility. Obviously Trump is not Hitler or why would the morning Joe go running to meet with Hitler. MSNBC did hide the very real decline of President Biden and was not truthful about Kamala's ability to lead. Why would the public trust their very biased assessment. It isn't news, it is propaganda.

As far as Morning Joe ...I don't need another man hollering at me.... Orange Maniac has been enough....Joe just yells....and Mika needs to "know her value"...and tell him to shut up

Personally, I feel the t v exects r a bunch of gutless wonders only concerned with their own futures, unwilling to stand alongside their courageous reporters and fearless on air host. I share an affinity with those that speak truth to power, having been a union steward, fighting company busting tactics on the job, the moron hasn’t taken office yet and the corporate wanna b s are running scared! They’ve spun their best shows off to another co so as not to bear the brunt of a trump lawsuit, instead of dukeing out in court and exposing trump for the lier he is. Just when we need heroes , we get Zeros!

I think you’re all stupid. I watch MSNBC everyday. If you switch it off of its regular channel u will make a major mistake. Everyone you’re reducing pay for I watch and enjoy. Of course Ari Melber is one of your best and paid the least. Don’t let Trump dictate who speak on his faults honestly. You are making a mistake.

Drop in viewership is just temporary. I love MSNBC especially Joy Reid and Lawrence O'Donnell. People just dislike Trump so much that even hearing his name is nauseating. People. Including me, will return to MSNBC after the holidays. Right now we need a little respite.

I would watch maybe half an hour of Morning Joe, and an hour of Nicolle Wallace. After Joe and Mika went to trump, I will never watch them anymore. I will probably watch Nicolle again when trump takes over ( it still sickens me), because she has principles. trump does not have a mandate, because he did not even get 50 percent of the vote. Of course, he will think he did.

Keep up your decision to not watch MSNBC. Great move, hardly anyone watches msnbc anyway, and its up for sale! Anyone buying them will have to fire everyone ( ha ha Morning Joe;-)) to make a profit.

After the election, I also quit watching MSNBC or any news ... only because I knew that trump and his sychophants were preparing to wreak havoc on our government and our nation. I've only very recently begun to watch MSNBC, again. Joe, who loves the sound of his own voice, and Mika the scold, should be replaced. Joe's constant pontificating and interrupting guests could strain the patience of Job, and Mika's hyperbolic opinions lack articulation and substance. Sorry to see Joy Reid leave. My favorite is Nicolle Wallace plus Katy Tur, Ari Melber, Jen Paski, Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, Symonne Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez, Michael Steele, Ayman Moyhedin and others. Inasmuch as I like most anchors, they need to focus on priorities, NOT every little nagging thing trump says or does. IOW, pick your battles. Do better, please, because it feels as though progressive media is being overwhelmed by too many social media and streaming platforms, a lot who are illegitimate and/or not even real journalists. Today's journalism must reform itself to fit the times, but always keeping the focus on the TRUTH.

It was all the coverage of Joe Biden after his performance in the debate and Jen Psaki shredding Biden that made me mad att all of them! They all ran him into the ground and were part of the betrayers of that Party.

I think MSNBC reporters are among the few who continue to work hard at providing the truth. It's obvious they straddle a fence, daily, to remain professional while wishing they could call trump and his pets the rabid question marks they really are. I pray more reporters will take their muzzles off to call trump, his administration, supporters, and Republican Congress the thieves, liars, predators, and low-life they really are!

I am disappointed in the repeated headline coverage from show to show. There is so much going on all over the world I think each anchor should present new content.

I love MSNBC, however, I think they should have reported less about Trump especially after he lost in 2020. I believe they shoved him down our throats. Fox reported about him and I feel there was no need for MSNBC to constantly report about him. I have not watched any news since the election. I don’t want to see or hear from Trump!

All of these shows have the same problem, yet none of them have the common sense to change course. They 'intensely dislike' the incoming administration, and they are outwardly hostile towards anyone who disagrees with them. So much for 'inclusion' and 'love' and 'joy' for everyone...These shows do nothing but continue to divide America as they continue to spread their brand of yellow hatred from behind a microphone. They would NEVER have the courage to spew their venom to someone's face...that is pure cowardice.

Again you still don’t listen to the people you just don’t get it all you people who hate Trump don’t you think you had something to do with people voting for Trump with all your rhetoric rachel she is so fake with her tears. I can’t watch her for five seconds, Joe and his wife sick and tired of them. The network needs to hire fresh new faces. We are sick and tired of seeing them. Y’all spread lies disinformation misinformation your hate is why people don’t want to watch you. You are responsible for me voting for Trump and if you don’t believe that, then you’re going to plum it and maybe Elon will buy your company.

I don't watch them due to the lies, and hate. Thay are too opinionated and do not stick to the facts. Americans are tired of the fake news (news not being reported in it's entirety). Can't wait to hear how they cover the new report about the deception and lies the Jan 6 committee had put out, and how Nancy Pelosi actually took responsibility for the mayhem. REAL news journalist report all facts, and allow the audience to develop their own opinions.

They all spew the same hate, yet one makes $25 milliion on the high end and one makes $2 million on the low end and, along with all of them in between the two, they just repeat the same hate speech over and over and over. It's hate-Trump on a loop 24/7/365 ad nauseum. Give it a rest for crispe's sake!
