(5MinNewsBreak.com) – Out of sight, out of mind: NBC’s disgraced liberal host Chuck Todd is ditching the network as its ratings plummet.
Todd’s departure signals a massive shift in the lamestream media landscape, exposing the crumbling foundations of left-leaning news outlets.
NBC News is facing a crisis as Todd, one of its most prominent political journalists, prepares to exit the network.
Todd’s departure comes amid a significant drop in viewership for liberal-leaning networks, as some reports indicate a staggering reduction by half.
This exodus of viewers has led to pay cuts for many high-profile figures within these networks, signaling a seismic shift in the media landscape.
Todd, who joined NBC News in 2007 and became the host of “Meet the Press” in 2014, stepped down as the show’s 12th moderator in 2023.
His reduced visibility since being replaced by Kristen Welker has fueled speculation about his future at the network.
Sources indicate that Todd has discussed potential roles in broadcast and digital media with top editors and leaders from other media organizations.
The decline of liberal media outlets like NBC is evident in their plummeting ratings and revenue.
This downward spiral has forced networks to make difficult decisions, including pay cuts for their star anchors.
According to reports, MSNBC’s huge star Rachel Maddow is said to have agreed to a $5 million annual pay cut.
She will rake in a whopping $25 million salary, down from her previous $30 million.
Todd’s departure from NBC is not without controversy. In early 2023, he publicly criticized the network’s management.
He claimed “credibility issues” related to the hiring of former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel.
Todd expressed discomfort with NBC’s interactions with the RNC, citing experiences of gaslighting and character assassination.
This public criticism led to speculation about his future at the network and ultimately contributed to NBC reversing its decision to hire McDaniel.
The television news industry is also facing unprecedented challenges. Reduced ad revenues and ratings are leading to pay cuts and the departures of well-known anchors.
Comcast’s plans to spin off its cable properties have raised concerns about layoffs and the network’s future direction.
These industry-wide issues have hit liberal-leaning networks particularly hard as viewers increasingly turn to alternative sources for their news and information.
As Todd’s contract with NBC is set to expire this year, his departure marks the end of an era for the network’s political coverage.
The decline of liberal media giants serves as a wake-up call to the industry, highlighting the growing disconnect between these networks and the American public.
As viewers continue to seek out alternative sources for their news, it remains to be seen how mainstream media will adapt to this changing landscape and whether they can regain the American people’s trust.
