Woke staff of woke network surprisingly un-woke about new boss
2021-09-28
[Red State] It’s an uncertain time at MSNBC. A new Captain is taking control of the ship after the old one was effectively ousted over accusations of sexual harassment, and it would appear that MSNBC’s staffers aren’t too confident in their new leader’s abilities.

According to the New York Post, new MSNBC President Rashida Jones is being described as "buttoned-up," "young," and "lacking a creative vision" for the network. Not helping matters is the fact that Jones doesn’t seem to have high-profile connections that could draw viewers to the network. This is all a huge problem, especially with Rachel Maddow, the network’s most popular personality, eyeing the door and planning to depart in the near future.
They are getting a front row seat for the power of diversity hiring. You'd think they'd be excited. In the software business, this is called "eating your own dog food."
Jones’s plan seems to be more geared toward focusing on breaking news instead of personality-driven programming, including during the prime time hours, which have staffers feeling that her inexperience is seemingly stopping her from seeing the point of prime-time shows.

"We need to embrace our brand on primetime or we are going to lose big-time," one employee said.

#2  ^For people with half a brain, there is nothing wrong with that - especially if they would actually present the news rather than opinion...sadly that does not fit the profile of the typical PMSNBC viewer.

What's wrong with that?
