MSNBC staffers are panicking over the direction of the left-leaning news network under newly minted President Rashida Jones, fearing that she’s gearing up for a costly and potentially disastrous battle with CNN, The Post has learned.
Staffers say recent meetings with Jones and her boss, NBCUniversal news chief Cesar Conde, have focused on hard news — with the execs boasting of ratings wins over CNN on breaking stories, such as this summer’s congressional hearings on the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol.
That makes some employees nervous that MSNBC isn’t adequately focused on shoring up its primetime lineup of opinion-focused shows that draw in the most loyal viewers. The issue burst into the open last month when news leaked that Rachel Maddow, the network’s star, had been negotiating a new contract and had threatened to leave.
“Rashida’s love is in hard news,” an insider said, pointing to the exec’s past roles guiding MSNBC’s daytime news coverage and NBC News’ coverage. “She doesn’t really get what primetime does.”
Maddow ended up inking a broader deal that was worth a whopping $30 million a year through 2024, according to the Daily Beast, which cited anonymous sources. It will let her develop projects across the network and also allow her to step aside from hosting her 9 p.m. primetime show within the next year.
Still, that leaves the big question of who will fill Maddow’s shoes. Network insiders told The Post they worried that the hard-news-focused Jones doesn’t have the contacts or the drive needed to find someone to replace Maddow — and fill out the rest of MSNBC’s schedule.
“Rashida has a lot of good qualities, but I don’t think she is someone who corrals big talent,” said an MSNBC insider. “She isn’t creative — and that concerns me.”
Insiders described Jones, who succeeded longtime MSNBC president Phil Griffin in February , as “buttoned-up,” “young” and “lacking a creative vision” for the network, which is known for news analysis from talking heads like Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell and Brian Williams.
Most alarming to some, Jones appears to be re-examining the mission of MSNBC, signaling she wants to battle CNN on breaking news rather than focus on its “personality-driven, opinion programming with big stars,” a source said.
“We need to embrace our brand on primetime or we are going to lose big-time,” one employee said.
The source cited an all-staff Zoom call last week, in which Jones pointed to examples where MSNBC beat CNN in the ratings on big news events. During the call, Jones said, “We are meeting our competitors where they are in hard news,” according to a source. Jones also touted strong ratings on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” thanks to its news coverage of the hearings on the Capitol riots.
Jones has also recently directed the network to put in “a lot of energy on weekend breaking news, which seems like a loser,” the source added.
“People have never watched on the weekend except for [prison documentary] ‘Lockup,’” the source said. “Weekends are not a winner for CNN, either. It feels like a waste of time.”
Meanwhile, Maddow’s new contract, which has her stepping away from her daily show within the year, does put Jones in a tough spot.
“The question is what do they do with primetime? It’s going to be a test for Rashida,” the source said.
According to a source, Jones had earmarked Nicolle Wallace, who currently hosts “Deadline White House” and fills in as a political anchor, to take Maddow’s 9 p.m. show on a temporary basis had Maddow left the network in August.
“In every interview Rashida does, she points to Nicolle as the future,” said an MSNBC insider. “But I know for a fact that Nicolle does not want to work late nights.”
Although Wallace has been a workhorse for the network, her star power doesn’t approach Maddow’s. What’s more, Wallace, who is going through a divorce and has a young son, has been vocal about not wanting to work late nights.
“Nicolle Wallace does not want to work a second later” than she already does, the source said. “She is already making north of $2 million now, which is enough,” the source said, adding that even if the network threw more money at her, Wallace’s priority is her family.
MSNBC declined to comment. Reps for Wallace didn’t return requests for comment.
On the positive side, MSNBC staffers are generally relieved at how well Jones and Conde have gotten the network back to normalcy after a chaotic year marred by Ronan Farrow’s explosive reporting, which claimed that NBC brass killed his exposé on Harvey Weinstein and swept a rape allegation by a former employee against “Today” host Matt Lauer under the rug.
But while things are calmer, employees worry that new management has become a little too corporate.
“Cesar Conde is a business school boss and Rashida Jones is very buttoned-up,” a source noted.
Griffin, who had been with NBC News and MSNBC almost 25 years, exited when the company was dealing with the fallout over sexual harassment allegations that roiled the news division for two years. While Griffin was never the subject of allegations himself, Farrow’s book “Catch and Kill” recounted the exec revealing a photo of a woman — who a source said was TV personality Maria Menounos — at a staff meeting, smirking and saying, “Not bad, not bad.”
Some of MSNBC’s most successful shows like “The Rachel Maddow Show” and even the entertaining and popular “Countdown with Keith Olbermann,” which aired from 2003 to 2011, “wouldn’t have been born under this leadership,” one employee explained.
“Phil Griffin was a team-builder, who built confidence in the talent and staff,” the source noted about the network’s old boss. “He gave people a sense of belonging and a common goal. Now, there’s a colder, corporate feeling.”
The well-liked Griffin often met with individual teams across the company and wanted their feedback, which sparked creativity.
“People with ideas were boosted,” the source added. “I just don’t see a pipeline for real ideas now.”
By comparison, Jones holds more Zoom meetings with the entire staff, which makes it difficult to have a dialogue to share suggestions. Recently, the exec has held in-person coffee meetings with small groups, however.
“She’s very organized, but it just ends up feeling canned,” the source said, noting that people with ideas aren’t valued as much, and instead Jones tends to promote the rule-following corporate types.
While the Maddow situation festers, 40-year-old Jones has strengthened MSNBC’s newsy daytime lineup, hiring Telemundo and NBC News anchor José Díaz-Balart for a 10 a.m. show and moving Hallie Jackson, a straight-shooting White House correspondent, to anchor a political news show at 3 p.m. She also moved Ayman Mohyeldin to a primetime weekend slot.
The shuffling signaled to some insiders a heavier reliance on serious news anchors, who historically have not pumped MSNBC’s ratings.
While Jones may lack Griffin’s flair, insiders noted that she started during the pandemic and it might be too early to judge her performance under these conditions.
“The pandemic has changed everything and it has made executives’ lives harder. Rashida is friendly and approachable, but it’s too soon to tell if she’s a real team builder or someone who just wants to climb the ladder,” the source said. “I think she has to work to build trust. Phil had the trust. You knew he had your back.”
MSNBC usually beats CNN in primetime, but both networks consistently trail Fox News. Last month, ratings firm Nielsen said Fox News dominated with a total audience of 2.5 million viewers on average across all its primetime shows, far ahead of MSNBC with 1.2 million viewers and CNN with 819,000 viewers.
In the same month, “The Rachel Maddow Show” was MSNBC’s highest-rated show, with a total audience of 2.1 million average nightly viewers, but it trailed five other cable shows, including Fox’s “Hannity,” which goes head to head with Maddow at 9 p.m. “Hannity” logged 3 million viewers, second to “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” which delivered an average total audience of 3.3 million viewers.
Meanwhile, MSNBC could lose Brian Williams, who anchors the network’s 11 p.m. show, “The 11th Hour.” Williams, whose contract is up this year, is threatening to leave and the latest buzz being floated is that he is looking to decamp for CBS, but one source called that a “laughable rumor” meant to motivate MSNBC parent NBC to keep him.
Although Jones has not made an explicit directive to cover hard news, one staffer noticed a shift in the kinds of stories MSNBC is now doing under her. The source pointed to live coverage of the SpaceX launch earlier this month on Chris Hayes’ show “All In.”
“There were conversations about should we be covering that? In the past, we wouldn’t,” the source said of the rocket ship launch. “Does our primetime audience care about a SpaceX launch? Probably not.”

Ever see a commercial that is cringeworthy, badly done, or has a stupid annoying song or actor? Does every time it comes on, you want to immediately mute your television/radio or change the channel? Well whatever the reason may be that you despise it and it makes your skin crawl every time it comes on, this is the place to rant about it.

Rashida Jones has always been a FINE looking woman, even in dorky roles like on "Parks & Recreation".... But, somehow, in recent commercials for Citi and Expedia, she's been made to look like a dumpy frumpy housefrau (I didn't even recognize her in Expedia at first ). I don't know if it's her choice or that of the advertisers... But, damn, what a come down
She looks like the exact same person. I think you just don’t like the haircut.
I just think the Expedia commercials are depressing as hell
THANK YOU! Rashida looks so down, like she can't believe she's doing a damn expedia commercial.
I'm late to this because I've never seen this subreddit before, but found it when I googled "who styled Rashida Jones for the Expedia commercial". I personally hate her outfit from top to bottom. But she's still gorgeous and cool.
I am watching her on the Citi card commercials. You mean she has wardrobe issues on Expedia commercials as well? That is really weird. Presumably they have a different person dressing her. I don't get it.
I really thought she had some kind of religious conversion when I saw these commercials.
I always think that also. Why are all her shirts, oversize button downs which are fastened all the way to the neck. What’s with the Christian missionary look. In every commercial that she does she wears the same basic colored buttoned up top with half sleeves? I’m not mad about the modesty, because I think a lot of celebrities let it all hang out, much more than anyone wants to see, but I do find this new look on her, a bit strange. It’s like she went to the other end of the spectrum.
Agreed. She looks even worse in the Expedia ad. My prevailing theory is that some sort of life force vampire has attacked her, and afterward she decided to save money by going to supercuts® for her hair styling needs.
Nothing dumpy or frumpy about that.
I noticed the dumb outfits she seems to be wearing in all the recent stuff. I figure she is the face of some designer line.
A horrible, horrible designer line!
Yeah, it's like the commercial producers were trying to give her an "everywoman" look. She is not one (hasn't her daddy Quincy Jones given her some of his millions so she doesn't have to do this?). For me, she is an undefinable beauty who I'm always happy to see, even in dorky commercials like these.
Even 'everywoman' wears short sleeves on a island vacay!
I agree completely! Even the commercial where she is supposed to be on holiday, or exercising, she has long sleeves and is literally covered head to toe. I am worried that she is ill!
It's like she had to borrow from Dwight Schrute's wardrobe. Who decided mustard would look good on her?
He clothing is from my dad's closet, in 1987. So weird.
This commercial has bothered me for so long. I don’t understand the styling choices. High collars, buttons to the top, unflattering pants. You don’t have to show a lot but can still have clothes that fit well.
I think the issue is that the clothes she is wearing are too big for her Why are they doing this? I remember the first commercial I saw she had on a yellow outfit that she was swimming in. It was so bad I thought there was going to be some sort of gag revealed at the end. Then with the next few commercials it is the same problem. What's up with that? Wardrobe! Get in here!

Angie Harmon found the limelight at an early age. She began her career as a child model and went on to appear on the cover of Elle , Cosmopolitan , and Esquire magazines.
Harmon’s life changed in 1995 when she was spotted on a plane by David Hasselhoff. As “The Hoff” had yet to sully his reputation by drunkenly wallowing on the floor in a pile of fast food, Harmon agreed to a role on Baywatch Nights .
New Jersey native Kelly Ripa began her TV acting career as goth party girl Hayley Vaughan on ABC’s All My Children .
Since 2001, Ripa has been showcasing her excessive perkiness on Live! With Kelly . After original co-host Regis Philbin left in 2011, there was a string of celebrity fill-ins that included Jerry Seinfeld, Neil Patrick Harris, and Howie Mandel.
It was ex-football player Michael Strahan who eventually ended up landing the gig. In 2016, however, he announced he was leaving Live! to join Good Morning America . His announcement caused Ripa to throw an epic tantrum, during which she refused to show up on set for four days. Unsurprisingly, Ripa has been hosting the show solo ever since.
Actress Rashida Jones has appeared in several popular TV shows, including NBC’s Parks and Recreation , Fox’s Boston Public , and NBC’s The Office .
Jones’ acting debut came in The Last Don , a miniseries based on the book by Mario Puzo of The Godfather fame. Fuggedaboutit. Jones has also lent her vocal talents to Fox’s The Simpsons and Adult Swim’s Robot Chicken , and she provided background vocals on Maroon 5’s debut album Songs About Jane .
Primarily known for playing Ann Perkins on Parks and Recreation , Rashida is the daughter of legendary music producer Quincy Jones and her mom is actress Peggy Lipton. Yes, she’s half-black. And a practicing Jew. She’s blessed with good genes, we might add.
Show business is filled with people who weren’t able to win their season of American Idol , but still managed to have success careers after the show.
While Katherine McPhee hasn’t won an Oscar like Jennifer Hudson, she’s built a solid singing and acting career. In fact, she’s had a lot more post-show success than singer Taylor Hicks, who beat her out to win season five of Idol .
She’s had several post-show hits, although you’d probably be hard-pressed to identify “Over It” or “Had It All” without some help. But her acting work has been much more successful. She’s done several movies, starred in the NBC musical series Smash before being cast as “Paige Dineen” on the CBS drama Scorpion .
Tina Fey was born in the greater Philadelphia area and now earns enough money to buy the greater Philadelphia area.
It is probably not surprising that Fey became an accomplished comedian, writer, and actress since she graduated from the super-secret top drama school in the world — the drama department at Upper Darby High School. She then began her plans for world conquest in between drinking bouts at the University of Virginia.
NASCAR racer Danica Patrick showed early signs of being a speed demon. At age 10, she began racing go-karts in her home state of Wisconsin. After turning 16, Patrick moved to England.
She claimed it was to further her racing career, but one has to imagine it may have been to get as far away from Wisconsin as humanly possible. As of 2012, Patrick was the second woman ever to compete in both the Indy 500 and the Daytona 500.
Successful child actors strike me as enigmas. First of all, I am initially amazed at the parental commitment required once they decide to submit their offspring to such a lucrative yet slightly exploit
