During his recent show, Greg Gutfeld criticized MSNBC over its declining ratings and speculated on the potential sale of the network. Gutfeld humorously suggested that "MSNBC now stands for 'Must Sell Network Before Christmas.'"
Gutfeld's commentary included criticism of Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, noting their change in stance on former President Trump. He remarked that this shift highlights their insincerity and contributes to concerns among leftists about a possible second term for Trump.
Mediaite reported several challenges facing MSNBC, including a decline in ratings for "Morning Joe," a reduction in Rachel Maddow's pay, and controversy over a headline that caused backlash from conservatives online.
Gutfeld commented: “These days, MSNBC has come to stand for ‘must sell network before Christmas.’ Their post-election ratings are down 54 percent, that’s 50% more than my body fat, Walter. Hell, Brit Hume’s laxative reviews on YouTube have more viewers. And so they have slashed their budgets so low, Joy Reid had to replace her toupe to pay with a cocktail napkin. But don’t feel bad! Check out this headline that their website dropped today. Quote, Laken Riley’s killer never stood a chance. Now that can’t be an accident. If you ask me, it’s suicide by headline. What better way to kill off the rest of the network than to drop one of the most repulsive headlines of all time. MSNBC did finally change it, but the damage was already done.”
The discussion reflects ongoing debates about media bias and viewership trends within major news networks.
