Joy only one completely fired. New trio co-hosts 7am & new 6pm edition “The Weekend” Sat & Sun. Capehart will co-anchor morning, Mohyeldin will anchor evening. Díaz-Balart will continue anchor Weekend Nightly News. Details extended hours for day anchors & more on Katie & Alex https://tinyurl.com/ycy8rkyx
Well, I only watch a few people on mainstream news, four in fact, now it is three. I switched to independent news after the election and this just validates my decision.
What is the rationale for firing them? Low ratings? Even though Jen is a nice person, I doubt she’s going to bring in viewers. Right now, viewers want someone bringing the anger - not sweetness. That’s a mistake.
What this feckless twit apparently doesn’t realize is that once they clear out the folks of color guess who the White Supremacists at MSNBC are coming after next? She should quit with her dignity before they cancel her show and she has to do the walk of shame with her little box of desk niknaks. 😂😂
Me too ,just recording Maddow and Joy and the weekend show . Without Joy, now I'm done . But I heard the weekend show will replace Joy ( which with two black and a Hispanic hosts) . I guess they didn't want too many blacks in primetime, with 2 being the limit smfh.
I was very proud of @maddow.msnbc.com for not only as always speaking the truth but, for standing up for her coworkers. Calling them out as should be done.
Yeah the let her walk out the door thing is lame, she was pushed out the door. With the rest of the hosts of color in prime time. I love Rachel but say it all
I can't figure out what @msnbc has in mind, but it feels eerily like "equal hours, qual representation" - which makes a net sum zero.
What I do know is that I will follow these intelligent, thoughtful people - where they land. And my ad revenue will go to those networks, podcasts, whatever.
#1 rule in internal communications is to ensure your strongest stakeholders are on board. That is Maddow. For Kutler to have rolled out new lineup & created extra chaos, uncertainty for producing staff, is a remarkable misstep. Hard to watch Maddow’s comments w/o thinking she is now a flight risk.
For those who say she's the voice we need, her audience is predominately liberal leaning. She's not saying anything that those with a thinking brain don't already know BUT if she walked out, it would make be a huge hoopla and that might be worth much, much more.
Madow should walk in solidarity. 100% there are organizations that would snatch them all up in a heartbeat. Time to build something great, like we used to do when tyranny came knocking.
You do you, that's just not the energy I'm carrying. I'm more in the meet them in the muck, spit in their faces kind of mood. They can't have anything. They don't get the word great, they don't get the American flag, and they're not getting me Lucky Charms.
MeidasTouch has already reached out, as have some of the bigger progressive podcasters. Part of me hopes Joy, Alex, Katie, and the other non-white anchors and producers will join forces with them, so we can keep their voices out there. The other part hopes that every anchor that MSNBC has just
I suspect this bloodbath has to do with the pending Paramount+ merger Trump has been threatening to blow up and NBC/MSNBC is whitewashing the network, trying to kiss up to Trump. And damn them all if that's it.
Me too (Air America)! And did you notice that Maddow REALLY rattled/upset? So did O'Donnell. And I don't get why the non-white anchors & shows were jettisoned. NBC's isn't keeping the MSNBC anyway.
I agree. She should walk out in solidarity. She probably has a contract, but if that’s the strongest she can say what she has to say, I’m terribly disappointed and have lost respect for Rachel.
Rachel is great. She is tough, hard working, smart and has truly etched her place in media, journalism, publishing. I applaud her message about Joy and others.
Personally, I wish she would have stood up and said, "That being said, I am leaving MSNBC as of this moment. Good night, my friends."
I'm BOYCOTTING white bread @msnbc.com in solidarity. Maybe with this massive cut in payroll they can get rid of their 5+ min commercial breaks, esp on @lastword.msnbc.com. Ridiculous.
I demand silence during the @maddow.msnbc.com show (the only time I do this, I swear!) If my husband starts talking, my son yells “Rachel” at the top of his lungs. Then, silence.
MSNBC is being spun off. When that happens it’s all about the #s. Double digit profits aren’t enough for these greedy jerks. They want more! Never mind these “Christians” who choose to defy a deadly sin. The definition of GREED is maga.
MSNBC is maybe one step up from complete trash. CNN was incredible in its first years. Now you must turn to independent news organizations and also turn your critical thinking up to 11. Progressive candidates only from here on. No more rank and file corporate Democrats. Let's rebuild Gov better
America's Devil has always been its economy. Such Worship of the almighty dollar. So many atrocities committed in its name. Hurt that devil, when you see it, boycott MSNBC and see how quickly its congregation becomes contrite. They bow to Satan made manifest. We boycott. Conveniences are not needs.
The new president of MSNBC who made these cancellations, what is her name? I can't remember her name, so am just calling her Trumpette. Though maybe it is Muskette?
Sorry - getting rid of Joy Reid will be good for the program. She’s dishonest an (I know it’s impossible but) she’s a racist. Bye Joy. You won’t be missed.
I don’t listen to the right or watch them - ever. I have watched joy reid however. She’s embarrassing, angry, and a racist. Good riddance. It will do the sensible, primarily economic left, which will emerge post Trump much food. Her ultra left culture warriors were no better than magat culture ones.
How long before Rachel gets the axe? You know that's Trump's ultimate goal. Personally I think it's not a matter of "if" they'll let her go, but "when".
Someone with integrity who doesn’t care about her own job…she knows she’s the only one with the ratings anyhow…and who is secure with the future after MSNBC. I suspect she’ll get a good scolding, will continue her 100 days and then quit herself to do her successful podcast. MSNBC blew it.
Wake up people! Donold & the Republican party are returning to segregation. This is the purpose for their assault on DEI. And, too many corporations are gleefully complying with their mandate to return to a 100% white, male dominated system.
This should be a #BoycottMSNBC moment for our country if I've ever seen it. Hands down. We've GOT to show this behavior is UNACCEPTABLE, and WE won't support it.
“And I can’t in good conscience work for a network who would do this. Consider this my resignation.” Mic drop. Now THAT would have had an effect on the network.
It would good if some people like Cuban, Bloomberg, Scott, Clooney and Hanks put some money together to start a streaming Liberal news operation, hiring people like Reid, Phang, and some online people like Legum and Gill.
Not enough. Does she think she’s safe as a lesbian? First they came for….come on @maddow.msnbc.com no one watches corporate media anymore. I’m glad I haven’t watched MSNBC since the election and no CNN since 2021. All garbage.
Yep. This is what totalitarian state-run media looks like. Can't trust American news media to point out all the lies and inaccuracies that our government is spewing. 😤 We must rely on other sources like the BBC or AP (when they're allowed to participate).
I wish she walked off the set. Too much to ask I guess. It’s been 10 years and no one on @msnbc.com has learned that words mean nothing. Action is what is needed.
Hmmm, let me see, was there something Maddow could have done to express her anger at management? Some sort of concrete threat or stance she might have taken? Guess not.
she lost me when she kept keith olbermann off the network even though he forced them to hire her and keep her in the first place. money turned her into a snake. i followed her from air america to msnbc. i mourn the loss but i will never trust her again. ever.
Lost me when she hyped up having Trumps tax return and then spent an hour taking about the older one everybody already knew about. At that point I knew she and her network were just like the rest, dishonest ratings whores. Tuned out the entire network after that.
also her endless asskissing of establishment democrats. her shunning of actual progressive guests. she used to be great. money and access got to her head
I wish there WERE a better venue for Rachel Maddow to appear.
Journalism on TV is all but dead. Maddow isn't perfect, but she's the best I've seen since Bernard Shaw. But, unlike a news anchor, she doesn't have to play neutral.
Her main draw: she brings receipts to her segments.
Rachel needed to admit they were fired and Joy’s firing was in direct retaliation for Trump’s infantile tantrum on Truth Social. Joy was also fired for being Black.
They weren't "mistakes". They were concessions to self proclaimed King.
Will she quit in protest?
Or will she keep working there under guise of truth and journalism.
Note to @maddow.msnbc.com Folks who want truth & justice stopped watching @msnbc.com after Joe and Mika obeyed in advance.
Where would she go. I don’t think her podcast can give her as much of a viewing audience as the Rachel Maddow show. I think she is the only one who is brave enough to speak her mind and we need her front and center in America today.
Glad she's stating what we all know. Stopped watching the news during the election results. Those that were let go were also the loudest voices against Trump
Rachel needs to move to a different network and people need to stop watching that station. Or at the very least watch only her show and never have that station on otherwise.
Good for you Rachel you tell him like it is let them fire you and they’ll lose all their viewers. All of the shows they canceled. What the hell are they gonna replace them with more four hour shows I’m not sure. Why didn’t they fire Katie Tur?
OK, now we bout to fight over Rachel!!!! 💪🏼💪🏼 I say the same thing LOL 😂
I’m so proud and glad that she stood up for Joy, Alex & Katie and their teams! That “B” Becky Kutler got her ass handed to her publicly and I was here for ALL OF IT!!!
She’s not staying either, she has one more month. After that she’s back to once a week (as of now) But kudos to her for speaking up for Joy and the rest.
I haven't watched any MSM in probably 15 years, and this is exactly why. Comcast owns MSNBC, and Blackrock is the 2nd biggest owner of Comcast. We are given the illusion of choice. This is why publicly funded journalism is so important. Fund PBS and NPR.
It is time for Joy Reid, Alex Wagner, and Katie Phang to join forces with Meidas Touch and others to put together a powerful alternative to mainstream news. Hire the best. Bring Maddow and Lawrence aboard. We need this now more than ever.
Rachel, yesterday was such a sad & disappointing day in which MSNBC’s new leadership made such egregious changes. I will miss Joy, Ayman, Alex, Jonathan, etc.
Thank you for publicly speaking the truth, and for always having your colleagues’ and their staffers’ backs.
It is very much appreciated.
Too bad she and Lawrence were fawning over Joy last night. It changed my whole opinion of them. Joy is an unabashed antisemite who constantly told Les and misrepresented Israel. She was not an honest journalist.
It looks like that’s what they’re planning on.. keeping the white right-leaning staff and getting rid of those of color who also spoke the truth. I feel the people who have been fired, will all do well, MSNBC?? Not so much.
Mistake after mistake after mistake… #SoledadOBrien #TarmonHall #MelissaHarrisPerry #TiffanyCross #JoshuaJohnson etc. I’ve been since the 1996 kick off. I’ve suffered through Imus In The Morning, Scarbrough Country, and most recently #KatyTur and #AndreaMitchell. @joyannreid.bsky.social last straw!
MSNBC is losing me as as a 10+ year nightly viewer. Today’s programming decisions are beyond the pale. It must be driven by money and the new business model and spin off. They will regret these decisions and have greatly misunderstood the moment. I hope other show hosts walk.
Maybe Maddow et al should walk out. Leave Joe and MEEKa to spew bullshit and they can bring on their alt right ass kissing buddies. That's REALLY what Msnbc is aiming for.
Exactly! While solidarity is important, figures like Maddow and others have a platform that still allows them to challenge misinformation and hold those in power accountable. Staying the course ensures that their voices remain in the fight. In times like these, we need more truth-tellers, not fewer

The clinging to all the lily white anchors isn't suspect or anything... nah...
nothing to see here
MSNBC has take the knee for their idol.
She wanted to pull away from the grueling schedule before.
She should leave MSNBC in the dust.
All these great folks should strike out on their own.
What I do know is that I will follow these intelligent, thoughtful people - where they land. And my ad revenue will go to those networks, podcasts, whatever.
ethics require actions.
I suspect this bloodbath has to do with the pending Paramount+ merger Trump has been threatening to blow up and NBC/MSNBC is whitewashing the network, trying to kiss up to Trump. And damn them all if that's it.

Could it be….
Another s**show of MSM.
Come by these days on MSM!
Maddow blaming MSNBC when she took her job back? Wut.
Blindfolds are off now.

So start saying nice things about Israel if you don't want to get fired.
