Things are unraveling quickly at MSNBC, with Joy Reid’s show “The Reid Out” getting the chop and other major figures following suit. The network’s bloodbath continues as three more of its stars, Katie Phang, Jonathan Capehart, and Ayman Mohyeldin, all saw their shows axed. For Phang, it’s a shift to legal correspondent, while Capehart and Mohyeldin are rumored to be getting new timeslots—but don’t hold your breath on details just yet.
This comes right after a dramatic moment in Washington. Laura Loomer’s sharp commentary about the defunding of USAID and its connection to leftist shows being subsidized by taxpayer dollars hits hard, especially with the backdrop of these sudden cancellations. Loomer’s claims that these high-paid hosts were leveraging taxpayer funds for propagating left-wing agendas are impossible to ignore. It’s one thing to fund overseas programs, but domestic propaganda—that’s an unsettling turn for many.
The real question here? What’s next for the liberal network? With an entire roster getting wiped out, it signals a major shift in the media landscape. Ratings and influence are clearly at stake, and MSNBC is scrambling to regain its footing in a world where trust in mainstream media is in serious decline. These massive cuts suggest that perhaps the times are changing faster than we thought—and not just for MSNBC.
Stay tuned; the media war is far from over, and it’s clear that these cuts might only be the beginning.
