Rachel Maddow's anger at MSNBC bosses seems to have failed spectacularly, because five million viewers fled the news program in a huge grinding of 22 percent ratings.
The Rachel Maddow show fell from 2.3 million viewers to 1.8 million viewers since the election of President Donald Trump won the elections.
The star did it Even worse with younger viewers aged 25-54, losing 29 percent – or almost a third – of the group advertisers give the most, as reported by Fox News.
She lost a quarter of her audience, or 24 percent, in the first two months of 2025 compared to the same time last year – which shows that viewers are although Joe Biden is no longer president.
Despite the overall decline, the Maddow show still managed to win his time slot last Friday and most nights last week, only on Tuesday when President Trump delivered his address to the joint session of the congress.
This disaster comes after Maddow had an angry collapse with network bosses about expelling Joy Reid and other 'non-white' hosts.
The host of $ 25 million a year broke out at MSNBC's new boss Rebecca Kutler Live in the air and said it was 'disturbing' that 'non-white hosts in Primetime lost their shows'.
Katie Phang, who is Asian -amerikan and Jonathan Capehart, who is black, also lost their primetime shows.

Maddow also said it was a 'bad mistake' to let Reid walk out the door and claimed that the dismissal or relegation of her hosts would harm the network.
Influential media newsletter Puck emphasized how Maddow's own enormous salary could help considerably expand the ranks of MSNBC.
The network will dismiss 125 producers – many of whom work on the Maddow show – but will rent 110 again.
Her program, the Rachel Maddow show, usually reaches around 2.1 million viewers per night.
Maddow closed a $ 25 million deal a year, so she only had to organize one show a week on Monday evening.
She agreed to take a wage reduction of $ 5 million last year, reducing her enormous salary from $ 30 million to $ 25 million – that would still be equal to the combined income of at least 250 production employees who make each of her evening shows possible.
She agreed to cover the first 100 days of the Trump presidency after he won his second term and return to her one team a weekly role in April.
And although her reviews are good, media -insiders have suggested that Maddow might be trying the patience of her bosses.
Puck emphasized how Reid's replacement will be a trio that consists of Symone Sanders, who is Black and Alicia Menendez, who is Spanish.
Maddow did not report this ethnic diversity while she implies that her bosses are racist.

Even her colleague liberals called her to resign.
Bluesky users quickly call on Maddow to place her money where her mouth is and to resign, or see the risk as a hypocritical that squirts hot air.
“Rachel Maddow will have to resign from MSMBC (and $ on the table),” a user wrote this week, months after Maddow had secured her five-year-old re-up.
“She will not be able to keep the credibility on that platform,” the liberal spectator continued.
'I hope she makes a really progressive network. America needs new media channels and she is the star. '
“So, resign if you are so furious,” noted another more impossible user, who cleared the way for a even more completely throated request from another angry progressive.
“The only appropriate reaction to this development of white liberal/lefts who claim to oppose the redeign of the country is to prove it by leaving all regular media networks,” they wrote.
