Leftist Media Meltdown: Wave of Cancellations and Cratering Ratings Signal the End of an Era

In the wake of President Trump’s resounding victory, the liberal media empire is crumbling faster than a house of cards in a hurricane. From MSNBC axing high-profile shows to CNN slashing staff amid historic low ratings, and even once-mighty entertainment staples like “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) gasping for relevance, the writing is on the wall: Americans are tuning out the endless anti-Trump hysteria and woke propaganda. As conservative voices have long predicted, these outlets’ relentless bias has alienated viewers, leading to a cascade of shutdowns and shakeups that expose the fragility of the leftist echo chamber. With Trump back in the White House, the era of resistance TV is over—and good riddance. Take MSNBC, the poster child for liberal outrage. In February 2025, the network canceled Joy Reid’s “The ReidOut” as part of a sweeping programming overhaul, sending shockwaves through the leftist ranks.

Reid, known for her inflammatory rhetoric—like comparing conservatives to ISIS and dismissing White rural voters—saw her show struggle with dismal ratings, averaging under a million viewers in key slots. President Trump himself bid a mocking farewell to the “obnoxious” Reid, tweeting that her ouster was a win for common sense. But it wasn’t just Reid; Rachel Maddow blasted MSNBC for dropping shows anchored by non-White hosts, accusing the network of caving to diversity backlash in a desperate bid to salvage viewership. The revamped lineup flopped hard—Jen Psaki, the former Biden mouthpiece turned host, shed 47% of her predecessors’ audience in her new slot, trailing even struggling CNN in the key 25-54 demo. Post-election, MSNBC’s collapse accelerated. The network hemorrhaged more than half its primetime audience, dropping from 1.8 million viewers in October to just 808,000 after Trump’s landslide.

Year-to-date, MSNBC lost 26% of total viewers and a staggering 51% in primetime, while Fox News surged 58%. Hosts like Reid speculated that her coverage of Trump and Gaza contributed to her firing, even playing the race card by suggesting anxiety over her identity factored in.

Meanwhile, Comcast’s decision to spin off MSNBC from NBCUniversal has staffers in panic mode, fearing massive layoffs, relocation, and a loss of resources. As one insider put it, the future is a “big concern,” with the network potentially needing to rebuild from scratch amid declining ad revenue and viewer exodus. Conservative commentators rejoice: this is the inevitable fallout from years of divisive, anti-Trump screeds that turned off even liberal audiences. CNN isn’t faring any better, reeling from layoffs and cancellations that scream desperation. In January 2025, the network cut 6% of its workforce—about 100 jobs—as part of cost-cutting amid plunging ratings.
Anti-Trump anchor Jim Acosta was conspicuously left off the new programming schedule, a clear sign of the purge. Chris Wallace, the former Fox host who jumped ship to CNN, was shown the door after just three years, coinciding with reports of financial woes and impending deeper cuts. The network posted its lowest-rated Tuesday in the critical demo in 24 years, and insiders predict “tears on the horizon” as Warner Bros. Discovery plots a spinoff. Management is “greatly concerned” about ongoing defamation suits, like those from Trump allies, racking up legal bills and damaging credibility. As Politico’s co-founder noted, liberal media has “never been weaker,” with CNN’s endless resistance TV failing to deliver a “Trump bump” in viewers. Elon Musk summed it up: “CNN is dying,” thanks to scandals, leadership chaos, and blatant bias.
The rot extends to leftist entertainment, where even sacred cows like late-night shows are on the chopping block. CBS announced in July 2025 that it would cancel “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” in May 2026, citing $40 million annual losses and hemorrhaging viewers.
Trump celebrated the move, predicting Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are next on the “chopping block.”
Colbert fired back with a vulgar retort, but ex-host Samantha Bee admitted the show was “hemorrhaging viewers and money.” David Letterman called it “pure cowardice,” but conservatives see it as karma for Colbert’s nonstop Trump-bashing. Late-night comedy has been floundering for years, with Colbert, Kimmel, and others openly rooting for Democrats while shredding Republicans, leading to tanking ratings since Trump left office in 2021. SNL, the granddaddy of leftist satire, is in deep trouble too. Viewership cratered during the 2024 election cycle, averaging 5.4 million—down 25% from 2020 and nearly a third from 2016. The post-election episode drew just 4.4 million, losing over half the 9.2 million from 2020, making it the season’s least-watched. Despite stunt casting like Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris and surprise cameos, including Harris herself pre-election (drawing 6.6 million), the show couldn’t stem the bleed. Critics blasted SNL’s “woke smugness,” like mocking Trump with made-up terms, and Bill Maher called out an anti-MAGA skit as “hysterical” and unhelpful.

X users piled on: ” @JonIsTheFuture ” mocked SNL’s TDS for tanking ratings, while ” @dugun59 ” predicted high ratings for Shane Gillis’ return but overall decline. Even liberal guests like Ramy Youssef used the stage for Gaza advocacy, highlighting the show’s shift from comedy to activism. Beyond TV, leftist outlets like Media Matters are on the brink. Facing $15 million in legal fees from Elon Musk’s lawsuits and Trump’s FTC probe, the far-left group laid off a dozen staff and is considering closing entirely after USAID funding dried up. X poster ”

@matt_vanswol ” celebrated, crediting whistleblowers for exposing NGO ties. The Washington Post, engulfed in layoffs and talent exodus, announced buyouts targeting veterans amid $77 million losses. NPR lost federal funding under Trump, prompting layoffs and coverage cuts.
This wave of shutdowns proves conservatives right: leftist media’s obsession with Trump derangement and identity politics has backfired spectacularly. As ” @Sassafrass_84 ” put it, legacy media sold out to woke agendas and is dying a slow death. With Fox News dominating—commanding the highest cable news share ever—the tide has turned. Americans want truth, not tantrums. The leftist media graveyard is filling up, and in Trump’s America, that’s music to patriotic ears.
