In early December, there were whispers in the media world that MSNBC President Rashida Jones was eyeing the exits. Ratings at the network crashed after the election and have not bounced back.
Now she has done it. Jones has stepped aside as president.
Jones had only held the position for about four years.

MSNBC president Rashida Jones stepped down from her position on Tuesday, Fox News Digital has confirmed.
Jones announced her decision on a call with most of the MSNBC staff, according to a source close to the outgoing boss who said talent paid tribute to Jones on the call.

“After four incredible years at the helm of MSNBC and 11 years at NBCU, I have made the decision to pursue new opportunities,” Jones wrote to staff.
“I came to this decision over the holidays while reflecting on our remarkable journey and the many successes we’ve achieved together as a team. This has been the most rewarding chapter of my professional career and I am immensely proud of what we have accomplished, which has been made possible only by you,” she continued. “I am more confident than ever that MSNBC is well-positioned for the future.”

MSNBC blew whatever integrity they had left while covering the 2024 election. They told their audience that there was no way Trump could win, right up until the moment when he did.
