Rashida Jones’s decision to resign as president of MSNBC is not only a significant move but also perfectly timed—just days before President Trump takes office again. After a tenure that nearly spanned the entire Biden administration, Jones has packed her bags, likely leaving behind sweaty palms and declining ratings as souvenirs.
Under Jones’s leadership, which can only be described as a spectacular blend of liberal bias and a rotating door of talking heads, MSNBC strayed further into the leftist echo chamber. Her crowning achievements included bringing on former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki for her own show—because what better way to provide “critical context” than to hire someone who spent years dodging questions while serving a president? Jones also extended “Morning Joe” to a mind-numbing four hours. Clearly, she was committed to ensuring viewers had ample time to bask in the glow of liberal propaganda. And of course, who could forget the infamous decision to replace Rachel Maddow, who seemed to be fading faster than a pair of jeans thrown into the dryer, with Alex Wagner as a four-day-a-week headline act?

In her farewell memo, which undoubtedly was soaked in sarcasm, Jones hinted at “new opportunities.” This sounds suspiciously like someone escaping a sinking ship while claiming they’re merely seeking adventure. Ratings, of course, tell a different story. The Daily Beast reported a ratings plunge for the once-mighty Maddow, barely scraping by with a paltry 86,000 in the crucial 25-54 demographic—definitely not the trophy number one would want on their resume when Trump is about to take charge again.
Adding a sprinkle of extra humor to the situation is Rebecca Kutler stepping in as the interim replacement. Having been plucked from CNN, Kutler might just bring a fresh wave of liberal viewpoints—because it’s not like viewers were clamoring for more balance. Under her guidance, MSNBC surely hopes to continue the strong tradition of keeping viewers informed… or perhaps just reinforcing whatever narrative fits nicely in the liberal narrative.
With Jones sticking around as an advisor until March, it seems like a final act in a poorly underrated sitcom. She may want to provide some hints on how to fix the crashing ratings, but one suspects it might be too late. After all, who can genuinely believe that liberal spin will save the network when Trump is back on the political stage? The irony of a network pushing “hard truths” while undergoing such drastic internal changes isn’t lost on anyone with their eyes wide open.
