The fact that she was getting a salary that could be cut by $5 million says everything.

You don't hate journalists enough.

Rachel Maddow's job is some kind of sinecure.

That's why I don't think anyone on the right buying it is a smart investment. Salaries alone are an endless money pit even if they buy it for $1.

She isn't worth $25 million a year any more than she is worth $30 million a year. This is completely performative, and will do nothing to save the company. Anyone serious about it would see that she is making that much for one hour of content per week and would lay her off before even looking for other cuts.

She isn't worth $1 million a year. Really think about how much work Maddow really does. Let's even be generous and suggest she actually gets involved in the research side of things. She does a couple hours of research with a team, and then sits behind a camera for (let's be generous) a couple hours. She also apparently has a podcast. That's it. And she's on 8 figures for that? Meanwhile you have blue collar workers maintaining vital infrastructure that would be doing well to make 6 figures, and incredibly lucky for them to be making 7 figures without some sort of extenuating circumstances.

This is a person that does MAYBE 10 hours of cushy work all within an office setting per week. And that's being generous. That's 520 hours in a year. That's an hourly rate of $1900. And that's being generous at saying she does 10 hours a week. It's probably closer to 7 (and that's still generously assuming she does any of the research that we all know she doesn't do), which would bring her hourly rate to well over $2500.

I am going to say it now: there is not a single person in journalism, alive or dead, who should ever be paid anywhere near that amount of money. Not a single one. I'm even willing to suggest the same of anybody in ANY form of media should get that kind of money outside of maybe through royalties. But none should get a salary like that. Because they're absolutely not worth it.

There are rumours Elon might buy MSNBC and Rogan has offered to not only do Maddow's job but will wear the same outfit and glasses, while also telling the same lies.

Lmao Maddow could be required to pay whatever bullshit salary she makes now and I'd still say she is way overpaid.

Eh, it's a weird middle ground. She's too masculine looking for a woman, but men that look like her are nowhere near masculine looking enough.

"This is a difficult time, and they needed to keep her," one executive told the outlet.
"No one else can do what she does. You can't build a brand like it overnight."

They would have to redo all those years of frothing at the mouth at Donald Trump with complete fabrications.

From 30 to 25 million a year to do a show once a week. She must have some dirt on them to walk away with only that hit
