You're right, and I get all that...but her compensation still seems veryyyyyyyy inflated for what she brings to a low rated news network.

Fully agree. But if that is what she demanded and they were too afraid her loss would only hasten the demise of the new company, still their call. Dumb one because now the precedent has been set for other MSNBC on air talent to stick to their guns offering a small reduction in their salaries, you know, for the sake of the little guys behind the scenes or else they walk?

Then again, Dems are not known for having superior business acumen.

That guy makes $30MM a year?

Still overpaying her $25 million.

Meh. How many Subarus can one lesbian own anyway?

When the new company files for Chapter 11, that contract gets largely tossed and she becomes a creditor.

Maddow should volunteer to pay all of her $25M in taxes... To quote every liberal, pay your fair share.

I had no idea lying paid that well

Look at the average improvement in fiscal standing from first entering the Congress and the WH to leaving.

That is an interesting salary.

Who are they competing against, for her? Her schtick doesnt fit at any other network, and she would only make a fraction of that on her own.

It seems like they outbid themselves, and gave her a massive paycheck for no reason.

Bet this was copied and pasted from about a year ago on another TexAgs board.

It will not be a surprise to me if her pay was somehow subsidized by taxpayer money.

Damn. I'd be a liberal shill and bloviate about whatever the DNC or Biden Admin asked me to for $30mm per year. That's just an outrageous number.

---

Unreal to get paid that much to blow smoke and propaganda up people's asses every night and never have to be right, ever. Helluva job!

just an egregious example of the money laundering machine that was in place to buy off the legacy media a-la Oprah. Amazing how corrupt and corrosive that political class was to our country.

I can't help but wonder if I was making $30 million a year, and got cut to $25 million, would I even feel a difference? Would I have to sit down and ask what corners I can cut?

Will likely have to downgrade her Subaru from the Premium Trim.

The struggle is real and I would ask you not to judge her.

Whata haircut!

Its not just her .. across the board, name people on tv cable news are often massively overpaid .. even hacks like Juan Williams, make 5 million bucks a year ..

She is still getting $25 million per year after a "massive" pay cut??

If I was the CEO of MSNBC, I would have cut her pay in half and if it protested, tell her to find another job.

What he said is the best analysis.

She is an excellent actress who seems emotionally geared to: present baseless news, embrace even the most obvious lies and push the left's agenda.

MSNBC soon to be the MAGA Network?

HOLY SHT

They’re ACTUALLY gonna buy MSNBC…

Here's the thing - I bet if a right wing outlet paid her 40 mil a year she would sell conservative values all day long. These talking heads or actors are nothing more than prostitutes. They say anything for a buck.

This. And people dedicate so much time watching them.

$30 million for that is criminal. No wonder they're up for sale.

She was already overpaid by $30 million.

Liberalism ruins chicks

can't wait to see her meltdown when Elon buys MSNBC!

I had no idea these types made that kind of money. Million per year sure, but not TENS of millions.

yes, yes, yes please.......that would be awesome, it is fun money for him. He could probably leverage that platform as an adjunct of X. Or better yet.....the MAGA Network!

I'll see if I can find it, but one of the interviews Tucker did talked about the best way to fix "journalism" is to have independent journalist who have a nice salary and get to report on what they want. Essentially what is happening on Substack with folks like Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger…but without having to rely on subscriptions.

The idea was having network of truly independent journalist would be a gold mine as people just want honesty, not an echo chamber. I would love for Elon (and team) to do that. Seems to be his philosophy with X so I could see him turning MSNBC into a similar platform.

Now we know why companies go bankrupt.
