With the reported influence of Elon Musk on Donald Trump, and Trump's nomination of billionaires and mega-millionaires for Cabinet and other roles, Joy Reid opines on the expected influence of the ultra-wealthy on the Trump administration.

Brian Steinberg at Variety:

MSNBC‘s evening line-up may soon look quite different from what die-hard viewers have come to expect. The NBCUniversal-backed cable network is expected to move the trio of Symone Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele to its 7 p.m. weekday slot Tuesday through Friday, according to two people familiar with the matter, and the group on Mondays will lead two hours, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The move will have direct implications for Joy Reid, the anchor who currently fills 7 p.m. She is expected to host her last show on MSNBC this week.

What’s more, Alex Wagner, who has hosted weeknights at 9 p.m. save for a Monday night led by Rachel Maddow, is expected to be named a contributor, according to three people with knowledge of current talks. Wagner, who has been working as a correspondent across the U.S. during the first 100 days of the new Trump presidency while Rachel Maddow anchors each day at 9, is unlikely to return to her weeknight slot, these people indicated. Jen Psaki is expected to take over at least one of the hours, according to one of these people. MSNBC is also in talks with Eugene Daniels of Politico and Melissa Murray, a law professor at New York University who specializes in the regulation of sex, marriage, caregiving and reproductive rights that would have them join the network in unspecified capacities, according to one of these people. [...] The moves come quickly after Rebecca Kutler, a former senior executive at CNN who is known for her facility in developing new talent and programming concepts, was named MSNBC’s new president.  [...] Kutler has described plans to build an independent newsgathering apparatus for MSNBC, which will lose its ties to NBC News after the new company is formed. She wants to launch a separate MSNBC Washington bureau, and to add a new roster of international and domestic correspondents. She also wants to hire a new head of talent, a Washington bureau chief and a head of content strategy. Yet she has articulated a plan to hew close to the network’s progressive leanings, not trying to steer it to the center.

Big changes at MSNBC regarding their weeknight lineup: Joy Reid loses her evening show and set to leave the channel completely. Reid has hosted three different shows during her MSNBC tenure: The Reid Report on weekday afternoons, AM Joy on weekend mornings, and her current project, The ReidOut.

Alex Wagner Tonight will not be coming back, but Alex Wagner will remain with MSNBC in a correspondent role.

Rachel Maddow and her show will revert to Mondays (and special occasions) only at the end of the first 100 days.

Jen Psaki and her Inside show will most likely take the vacated spot of Alex Wagner Tonight, Tuesdays-Fridays at 9PM ET/8PM CT.

The Weekend hosts Alicia Menendez, Symone Sanders-Townsend, and Michael Steele take their talents to the soon-to-be vacated ReidOut spot at 7PM ET/6PM CT slot.

「宮崎正弘の国際情勢解題」　

　　令和七年（２０２５年）２月２５日（火曜日）

　　　　　通巻第８６６８号　＜前日発行＞

　極左テレビ局にも烈風が吹いている

　　ＭＳＮＢＣは左翼キャスターを解雇、番組を再編へ

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

　まず、アメリカの主要テレビの視聴率を見よう。

　２月２０日のゴールデンタイムの視聴者数は、

　ＦＯＸ　　　　　４６７２０００

　ＭＳＮＢＣ　　　　７７８０００

　ＣＮＮ　　　　　　５１９０００

　平均の人数も発表された

　ＦＯＸ　　　　　３２２０２５０

　ＭＳＮＢＣ　　　１０４０１２５

　ＣＮＮ　　　　　　５４３７５０

　これが何を意味するかは言うまでもない。左翼リベラルな局の人気凋落ぶりである。日本で言えば関口宏とか田原総一朗の番組を見る人が激減したということ（筆者はテレビを見ないので昔の司会者しか思い浮かびません）

　さてMSNBCでは大規模な再編が進行している。極左のゴールデンタイム司会者ジョイ・リードの番組「The ReidOut」が放送中止と決まった。ニールセン・メディア・リサーチに拠れば、トランプ勝利以後、リードの視聴率は50％減少した。　

　リードは過去の番組で何を言ったか。「あなたを密告するかもしれない。トランプ投票者の親族を避けよ」。「トランプ支持者の黒人男性は『世界的なファシスト』の一部だ」

彼女のプライムタイムの番組のアンカーは、政治評論家のシモーン・サンダース・タウンゼントになる。タウンゼントはリードと同じく丸刈りの黒人女性。

週末の政治コメンティターとしてテレビにでていたが、２０１５年にバニー・サンダース選挙キャンペーンに参加して頭角を現し、１６年には民主党の戦略家、カマラ・ハリスの顧問などをつとめた根っからの左翼である

ＭＳＣＢＳは政治的なバランスをとるため元共和党全国委員会委員長のマイケル・スティールやジャーナリストのアリシア・メネンデスなども登板さ��る。

　ＭＳＣＢＳは１９９６年にマイクロソフト（ＭＳ）と三大ネットワークのひとつＣＢＳが共同で設立した局で、数年もせずにＭＳが経営から離れた。

２００５年にはタッカー・カールソンを一時起用したが、その後、左翼路線を打ち出し、２０１０年にはＣＮＮと互角の視聴率、２０１８年にはトランプ攻撃でＣＮＮを抜いた。このときからＣＮＮの凋落が始まっていた。

Collard Greens to go: Kamala Harris' Historic Defeat still reverberates

The Harris-Walz Ticket's historic loss to the Trump- Vance Ticket still has people talking. I wanted to get a feel for how People were reacting before commenting. Political Pundits & Democratic Shills have been experiencing near meltdowns on Camera, following Donald Trump's historical Comeback. MSNBC & CNN have posted significant declines in viewership; Losses of up to 54% for Programs like Joy Reid's 'The ReidOut', 'Alex Wagner Tonight', 'All In w/ Chris Hayes', & 'The Last Word' w/ Lawrence O'Donnell have Liberals literally scrambling for answers. The two Networks hint at impending layoffs, but it appears to be the New Normal in the weeks following Kamala Harris' embarrassing loss.

The Conversation started with What Happened?! Several Political Polls had Harris in contention, if not up Nationally. Even 'Presidential Predicter', Allan Lichtman was befuddled by Trump's decisive win. The Talking Heads were unraveling in Real Time. Democratic Shills took to the Airwaves with a laundry list of reasons for Kamala's Defeat. It was a Collective of Racists & Misogynists that had No Regard for a Woman's Right of Expression. It's no surprise that they wouldn't vote for a Woman Of Color to be President. The Groups that were singled out were:

Hispanic/ Latino Men

Arab Americans

Young Adults

White Women

Many glossed over the role that Black America played in Election Returns, but they can't ignore the low Voter turnout in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Chicago, & Detroit. Democratic Shills like Sunny Hostin & Angela Rye are doubling down on DNC rhetoric; but others like Charlemagne (Da Clod), Joy Reid, & Roland Martin are trying to pivot to Black First Politics. We're hearing that the 'Black & Brown Coalition' is an illusion, & People Of Color didn't stand with Blackfolk in backing the Harris-Walz Ticket. Ironically, NONE of the Groups blamed showed any real interest in Kamala Harris. Turnout at her Rallies was lower than Trump's, & she has been accused by many of bussing Supporters to her Events.

The Democratic Party is in full Spin Mode. Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez was dumbfounded by Bronx Voters that voted for her AND Donald Trump. Jason Black, Jimmy Dore, & Sabrina Salvati were among the first to point out that AOC removed the 'pronouns' from her Social Media Pages. The Woke Agenda is being spotlighted, & Progressives are redefining what that means. We can expect Democrats to shift back to the Centrist Politics of the Bill Clinton Era, but Blackfolk are hip to that tactic. We have drawn a Line in the Sand, & Dems really don't know what to do about it. As I said before, Black America sits in the 'Catbird Seat'.

Democratic Shills say that Kamala did everything she could, but did she? What about showing her Supporters at Howard University how to be graceful in the face of Defeat? Harris couldn't be concerned with saying a few words to those College Students who waited hours for her to make an appearance. This act sparked conversation in the Grassroots about how Kamala doesn't have ANY regard for Black America; especially after getting 'molly whopped' by Trump. She blatantly ignored Black Specific Issues, & rolled out Celebrities to shame Us into supporting a Campaign that had NOTHING for Us.

As bad as Kamala's defeat was, her Campaign Expenditures have sparked even more conversation. Harris raised more than $1B (upwards of $1.5B according to Fox News) from donors, but her Campaign is roughly $20M in debt. That may explain why they are STILL asking for donations after the fact. How did the Harris- Walz Campaign spend over $1B in 100+ Days? Monty Brewster has nothing on Kamala Harris! According to Reports, Kamala's Campaign spent:

Nearly $50M on a Text Message Campaign

$10M for Beyonce's 5 minute Speech

$5M for Meghan The Stallion

$2M for The Urban League

$1.2M for Eminem

$1M for Oprah's Harpo Productions

$500,000 for Al Sharpton's National Action Network

$350,000 for Roland Martin's Black Star Network

$100,000 to construct a (temporary) replica Set for her appearance on the 'Call Her Daddy' Podcast

This is on top of spending Hundreds of Millions on Mainstream Media Ad Buys, along with reports that Social Media Influencers were being paid to post Pro- Harris Content & attend the DNC National Convention. Clearly, Harris' Presidential Campaign was a Money Grab. Rumors of embezzlement are growing. Conservatives are talking about taking Legal Action. Meanwhile, Harris Loyalists have been Radio Silent. Rumor has it that Barack & Michelle Obama left the Country; Barack is said to be disgusted with Election Results. I think that Barack backed a Candidate that he knew wasn't ready for Prime Time. He threw his Social Capital behind her, only to lose The Election & his Legacy at the same time. Barry's not alone; that Old Guard of The Clintons, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Maxine Waters, Jim Clyburn, et al are probably feeling the same as Obama. All of them lost Political Influence.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump is filling Cabinet Positions faster than he did in his 1st Term. Matt Gaetz may have been too controversial (for obvious reasons), but Trump is fulfilling a Promise to stack his Administration with like-minded individuals. Elon Musk, Tom Holman, RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswami, Linda McMahon, Pete Hegseth, Scott Turner, Sebastian Gorka, Brooke Rollins, & Scott Bessent are Trump Loyalists. These were the folks On Stage at MAGA Rallies. Trump Supporters are excited by these picks; as excited, as Democrats are terrified. Dems have good reason to be concerned. The GOP had a pretty good Election Cycle:

They won The White House

They hold a majority in the U.S. Senate

They hold a majority in the House of Representatives

They may have another opportunity to appoint two (or more) Supreme Court Justices

Trump's pick of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General could be his way of Testing the Waters. We ALL know how Donald Trump moves. He's coming strong Out the Gate, & appears to be testing the extent of his influence. At his core, Trump is a Builder. He knows the importance of a strong foundation. In this case, that means putting people he can trust in positions that will push the Trump Agenda. His alternate choice of Pam Bondi for Attorney General shouldn't come as a surprise. Bondi has been a passionate Trump Loyalist over the Years. She's the former Attorney General of Florida & carries less baggage than Gaetz, so she has a very good chance of getting Confirmed.

Kamala Harris has been keeping a low profile, but judging from footage of her at Public Events, Kamala is bitter about her defeat. She hasn't spoken with Tim Walz, & it appears that there's friction between her & The Bidens. Black Alpha Network says that Doug Emhoff may be bowing out of their Marriage. His indiscretions played a role in her defeat, but Doug appears unwilling to Ride the Storm. Safe to say that the Gravy Train has been derailed. Democratic Shills are scurrying like roaches to avoid being tagged as a 'Paid Political Operative'. It makes me question the Democratic Agenda.

I have said that America has been determined to get Black Hands dirty, since Our Great Grand Parents returned Home from WW 1. Jaime Harrison is the face of the DNC, so he gets the blame for the Democratic Party's lopsided loss. The Congressional Black Caucus pushed Kamala's Platform, knowing that there was NOTHING for their Constituents. They tried to strong arm Us into accepting an Agenda of Illegal Immigration & Rising Tide Policies that will further marginalize Us. Black Uplift means shifting the current Balance of Power, & NONE of Kamala's Policy offerings did that. This past Election put ALL of them On Notice.

Mainstream Media would love to blame the GOPs Election Day Trifecta on Black America, but doing so would be complicated. We're depicted as unsophisticated & childish, so they don't want to present a scenario where We acted with intellect & intent. They keep a keen eye on Black America, so they see the budding renaissance unfolding. They fear throwing gas on the fire, so they're fixating on Donald Trump's Cabinet Picks. According to NBC Exit Polls:

White Men voted 37% for Harris, 60% for Trump

White Women Voted 47% for Harris, 53% for Trump

Black Men voted 77% for Harris, 21% for Trump

Black Women voted 91% for Harris, 7% for Trump

Hispanic/ Latino Men voted 43% for Harris, 55% for Trump

Hispanic/ Latina Women voted 60% for Harris, 38% for Trump

All Others voted 48% for Harris, 46% for Trump

It's hard to blame Black Americans for a Democratic Loss, when We continue to vote Democrat at the highest percentage. That said, State Results show that Black Voter numbers were down. Nationally, they were down roughly 5%. I have said that it only takes 4% of the Population to start a Movement. Donald Trump lost Georgia in 2020 by '11,800 votes', but he won by over 115,000 votes this time. It's the Same Story in other 'Urban Centers'. We can't attribute Trump's Win to Arab or Muslim Americans, because their numbers are too small. Hispanics/ Latinos as a Collective, voted for the GOP at the highest percentage since George W. Bush in 2004. That said, Hispanic/ Latino Voters have an established track record of voting Democrat for a couple of Elections, only to shift over to the GOP.

This Election has raised a few questions. 1st & foremost, is the size of the Black American Population. Mainstream Media keeps Us at 12%- 13%. This goes back to Emancipation, but it's pretty clear that Our numbers are higher than that. Millions of Us 'Rode the Couch', & it shows up in the State Exit Polls. Black America IS a Political Power Base. Democratic Shills underestimated the Political Maturity of this Base & not only lost big, they awakened a Sleeping Giant. Young Family got to flex their muscles, & discovered their hidden strength. Moving forward, Dems will have to engage Us like EVERYONE ELSE, or risk future losses. Gavin Newsome is priming himself for a 2028 Run, but his betrayal of Black Californians on Reparations has doomed his ambition before it can begin. Josh Shapiro should take note.

As for Kamala Harris, her political career is likely over. Sonia Sotomayor refused to retire, so she won't be placed on the Supreme Court. A Democratic Shill suggested that Joe Biden should retire, so Kamala could be the 1st Woman President. At this point, I doubt that she could win in California. Harris may end up teaching Law at Howard University... While others wring their hands over Donald Trump, the Black Grassroots are taking a Victory Lap. The Democratic Party played Chicken w/ Us & learned a hard lesson. We aren't looking for recognition, or tokens of appreciation. We want Real Tangibles! We're just rolling up Our sleeves, so folks should get used to the New Normal. American Politics won't be the same.

Joy-Ann M. Lomena-Reid (December 8, 1968) known professionally as Joy Reid, is a cable television host, MSNBC national correspondent, liberal political commentator, and author. She hosted the weekly MSNBC morning show, AM Joy, and in 2018, The New York Times stated that “Ms. Reid, the daughter of immigrants, has emerged as a ‘heroine’ of the anti-Trump ‘resistance’.” In 2019 she published the book, The Man Who Sold America: Trump and the Unraveling of the American Story. On July 9, 2020, MSNBC announced that she would host The ReidOut.

She was born in Brooklyn. Her father was an engineer from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and her mother was a college professor and nutritionist from Guyana. Her parents met in graduate school at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. She was raised mostly in Denver, until the age of 17, when her mother died of breast cancer and she moved to Flatbush, Brooklyn, to live with an aunt. She graduated from Harvard University with a concentration in film studies.

In a 2013 interview, she recalled that her college experience was a quick immersion into a demographically opposite place from where she lived, from a community that was eighty percent African American to a community that was six percent African American. She had to learn to live with roommates and people who were not her family. She paid her bills and tuition while at Harvard and said it was a good learning and growing experience overall.

She married Jason Reid (1997), a documentary film editor. They have three children. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #deltasigmatheta

‘Focus is power’: Chris Hayes on covering Trump in the age of ‘the attention economy’

“The key here is paying attention and focusing on the things we all think matter, and not being whipped around constantly.” Chris Hayes joins Joy Reid to discuss his new book, The Sirens’ Call: How Attention Became the World's Most Endangered Resource, and how Donald Trump and his allies use attention as a tactic to divide focus while carrying out controversial and unpopular measures.

Shelby Jamerson at MMFA:

Right-wing media figures are attempting to cast vice presidential candidate Tim Walz as a “Radical Leftist Tyrant” who has declared “War on the Constitution” by latching onto one line from a 2022 post-midterms interview in which he described longstanding federal laws against spreading election falsehoods.

In the December 2022 interview, Walz seemingly referenced misinformation campaigns against mail-in ballots and other types of intimidation at the ballot box, saying, “Years ago it was the little things, telling people to vote the day after the election and we kind of brush them off. Now we know it's intimidation at the ballot box. It's undermining the idea that mail-in ballots aren’t legal. I think we need to push back on this. There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.” Right-wing media are now distorting Walz’s words, specifically emphasizing the last part of the statement, “there’s no guarantee to free speech,” and characterizing it as an “attack on [the] First Amendment,” ignoring longstanding federal and state law related to elections. The federal government has long regulated and penalized certain types of misinformation about elections. One federal law makes it unlawful to “conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person” exercising a constitutional or legal right, including the right to vote. Others prohibit conduct like giving false information in voter registration or voting, or voting more than once. 

Pro-election denialist right-wing media wankers baselessly call Minnesota Gov. and Kamala Harris VP pick Tim Walz a “tyrant” for calling out the right’s nefarious misinformation campaign against vote-by-mail in a December 2022 interview on MSNBC’s The ReidOut.

Mainstream propaganda outlets MSNBC and CNN have seen an absolute collapse in viewership following the 2024 presidential election.

According to Neilsen data, last Thursday's total views on Fox News came in at 2.6 million - of which 375,000 were in the coveted 25-54 age demographic, Mediaite reports. In comparison, MSNBC only had 596,000 / 71,000 25-54 viewers and CNN brought in 419,000 / 91,000 25-54.

Fox News was up some 60 percent year over year for the day, while MSNBC and CNN were down 23 and 40 percent – respectively. In prime time the news was even more bleak for CNN and MSNBC as they shed 30 percent and 54 percent of their viewers, respectively, compared to the same day last year. MSNBC host Alex Wagner had her lowest-rated show ever in terms of total viewers, while Chris Hayes’s show brought in its worst numbers since May of 2016.

On Friday, seven MSNBC shows recorded their lowest Friday ratings for the year. While Fox averaged 4.4M viewers Wed-Fri in prime time and 701,000 in that key demographic, MSNBC had just 808,000 total viewers for the same period (90k in demo), and CNN had 611,000 total average prime time viewers (159k in demo).

No wonder CNN's Chris Wallace is about to explore podcasting.

Fox's Elizabeth MacDonald breaks down the carnage at MSNBC by time slot between Oct. 30 and Nov. 8:

Morning Joe 1st hour - down 39.6%

Morning Joe 2d hour - down 36.9%

Andrea Mitchell - down 39.7%

Ari Melber - down 49.6%

Joy Reid’s Reidout - down 54.6%

All-in w Chris Hayes - down 47.2%

Alex Wagner Tonight- down 53.6%

Lawrence O’Donnell - down 60.6%

Stephanie Ruhle - down 67%

Three weeks ago Axios, citing Gallup, pointed out that Americans' trust in media has plummeted to a historic low...

[89845aaa]

So, let me get this straight, just because a host is non-white they’re good, and white they’re pieces of shit who shouldn’t be allowed to exist? Racist much?

Maybe, the host should be hired on merit.
