MSNBC’s resident wingnut Joy Reid is reportedly facing the reality of having to take a pay cut as the far left network’s ratings continue to crash, following the 2024 election.
Reid apparently makes approximately $3 million per year, which seems awfully high for what she does. There are amateur people on YouTube who get more views than she does.
Her colleague Stephanie Ruhle is also facing a pay cut.
NEW: Far-left MSNBC host Joy Reid will have to take a pay cut if she wants to stay in her role at the network, according to The Ankler.
The news comes after Rachel Maddow was also reportedly forced to take a $5M pay cut.

From the New York Post:
MSNBC’s Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle will reportedly need to take a pay cut if they want to remain in their anchor chairs as the struggling cable network continues to cut costs.
The left-leaning news channel — which recently gave star anchor Rachel Maddow a $5 million-a-year haircut from her annual $30 million haul — has been negotiating with Reid and Ruhle on new deals at reduced salaries, according to the Ankler newsletter.
The controversial Reid is believed to be earning $3 million a year to host her nightly 8 p.m. show, “The ReidOut,” according to the Washington Free Beacon.
Reid, who has been with the network since 2011 and in primetime since 2020, recently raised hackles again with a pre-Thanksgiving rant in which she accused Republicans of worshiping Donald Trump “instead of Jesus.”
People were surprised to hear how much Reid makes.
$3 million per year? For Joy Reid?
That is insane. There are tons of people more interesting they could put TV who would do less money than that.

That is $3M too much, Collin. People should be compensated for watching her show IMO.

Who the hell decided Joy Reid was worth $3 million a year?
No wonder the network is on the verge of bankruptcy.

MSNBC’s days might be numbered. Their ratings have been in the gutter for a month now and are not showing any signs of bouncing back.
