I actually would have respected her more…if she went out like in the matrix flying through the air in slow motion across her desk…w/both middle fingers extended & the other 4 folded down to show her real thoughts! Additionally…Jen Psaki gets no🩵because she/Rachel/others should’ve quit in solidarity🤫
Rachael Maddow is in a vulnerable position as an outspoken queer woman too so I wouldn't be surprised if she gets pulled off air either. I think it's ridiculous what MSNBC is doing, but I don't see Maddow as inherently safe from the purge either.
Not interested in MSNBC. Sorry that @maddow.msnbc.com has to stay there. I only enjoy her here or on stolen you tube channels. I won’t click any sympathizers if I can help it. (Fucking Google notwithstanding: I’m an up and coming YouTuber.)
Joy Reid, fired for speaking out about Tramp and being black.
She is a brilliant woman who will be dearly missed, so MSNBC goes toward the right. Journalism is in severe peril.
Trump is in a trap and so is the United States. You have a felon for a president and he is picking all of these cabinet positions to destroy this country to help Russia you people don’t understand that he voted Russia today for the first time ever UN resolution against Ukraine. Russian asset folks.
And yes, I tried to tell everyone before the election he was a felon and they elected him. I tried to tell everyone that he was a thief a crook a no good ConMan but what can you do man we have a felon for a president.
MSNBC better get with the program. we need more diversity at this moment in time, not less. not even Jen Psaki or Maddow is gonna keep lefties watching if gonna throw out valuable voices.
It's way too late for that. Remember when the previous MSNBC news CEO wanted to hire Ronna McDaniel Romney? It's been downhill since then. Psaki is not a great representative of the 'otherside'. She is too milk toast.
what "otherside"? Psaki is a lefty. she's not progressive but further left than most establishment dems. clearly MSNBC thinks they need to value or attract center right, problem is that's not their audience. if lose what you have trying to get what you don't, that's not a win. CEO needs to smartn up
don't get me started. Harris, yes, made some mistakes, the left still shoulda showed up for her. 80 million showed up for Biden. she shoulda had 80 million at the polls. those lefties who stayed home were wrong. nobody should have to kiss your ass to make sure a facist doesn't get into office 😠
Agree totally. There was a whole bunch of people who didn’t play the voting game correctly - and it is a game. You vote to get closer to what you want - never to get everything you want. Holding their vote hostage was stupid. It was obvious the better aligned choice.
My bad for using that word. We need people who will tell the hard truth (and that is not a 'progressive' thing). Psaki is not that person. I have been really disappointed with her hosting after being such a great press secretary. She plays it too safe and asks pretty juvenile questions. Sorry.
i've had no issues at all with her commentary or questions. maybe you are expecting too much of her. can't turn a poodle into the junkyard dog you want. that doesn't mean she doesn't bring value. i've seen ppl on her show not on other shows. she knows ppl, and been inside the WH. that is valuable
Yes, she is awesome and truthful, that is why they decided to cancel her. She might be the most qualified a Harvard Grad. MSNBC is weak to allow the Orange Bully to convince them to get rid of her. Is this DEI? Black people know how to survive. She will make a come back!! Good luck Joy Blessings🙏
I haven't like her since she had the nerve to pile on Joe Biden after his debate with Trump. Biden gave her her career! And yes, her voice is annoying and she isn't a journalist.
She seemed eager to undercut him even before, feeding bubbling angst, then used the debate to go all in, a nigh gleeful betrayal. But as a host, it always feels like she's poorly reading cue cards. She's better being interviewed, but hasn't risen to the occasion nor improved as a host--Wagner has.
Wait…. but Mika & Joe are still there??? I considered those 2 the MAIN reason the ratings started to tank… they turned off A LOT of people by kissing the ring… smgdh
I will follow her and watch her podcast definitely get the ratings up so high msnbc will tank eventually or see…the racism is so obvious I wont support that network.
Capehart still has a job. His show is being moved to weekend mornings, where it originally was, and expanded to 2 hours. Phang is around til 4/19. Wagner is being demoted to field reporter.
Jen Psaki is about as annoying as anyone I've ever had to watch on television, which is why I've never watched her show. But she stays and Joy is kicked off. Fuck her, too.
Is there a war on authenticity? I didn’t get the memo. Joy is so authentic! Kamala is too. Authentic real caring people are who we all should be. More Kamala -No Trump. More Joy-no Elon.
The world needs good people who help everyone succeed not greedy money hoarding bastards like TrumpElon.
And I'm sure they do know but they don't want to say a boo because their orangegutan tsar will punish them. It clearly shows they care more about themselves than about the country. Selfish brats.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
What happens when a democrat wins the presidency will Fox fire their evening hosts. I think Fox should condemn this happening to MSNBC because it could happen to them
I’m no defender of the Joe and Mika network, but Joy Reid is being replaced by a Black man, a Black woman, and a Hispanic woman. Let’s not dramatize the situation given all the actual drama surrounding us.
And I’d watch Alicia Menendez all day over a homophobe. https://variety.com/2025/tv/columns/joy-reid-msnbc-lgbtq-tweets-1236316877/
I'm sorry but Roy reid had to go. While she is correct on certain points but her repeated use of race card is too much for anyone to handle. Compare her show with Chris hayes or michael steele who does a terrific job
Oh please explain how a black woman acknowledging racial issues is "use of race card". I guess that's why she got fired, along with Jon Capehart, Ayman, Katie Phang, Alex Wagner, and Lester Holt. That damn "race card"..
Her show ratings are very poor why because she focuses her too much race which is playing into republicans hand. I do agree others were especially Alex Wagner and Katie phang were pretty good. Don't know what's going on with NBC but it's cost cutting measures like everywhere I suppose
So she both "focuses her too much race" but also "is playing into republicans hand". Not so. She's a black person. You believe she should ignore that to be successful. I guess Phang and Wagner passed as non-racial enough.
That's my speculation .Focusing too much on race and gender too much doesn't help much instead of focusing on working class, inflation and cost of living etc. same thing with Brit hack mehidi hasan, who kept harping about gaza "genocide". Bottom line their ratings were poor, so they got canceled
I know, right? Mehdi was harping on and on about those people who kept dying, penned up in a tiny little strip of land, getting bombed every day... And black people are working class, suffer from the effects of inflation, and high cost of living too.
jen and rachel should be leaving too... they would have some nerve to continue to work for msnbc while the other hosts, people of color, are being let go... i will never watch msnbc again...
I have no idea why Joy Reid was axed from her great show other than she wasn't showing enough deference to the regime? She was too "woke?" And Alex Wagner was demoted and off her program, too. This doesn't say a lot about those at the top of MSNBC, and if not for Maddow, I would be demoting it!
I loathe Psaki, and clearly my opinion was accurate about her. This is when you stand in solidarity with your fellow journalists not white privilege opportunity hoard.
I think it's a case of unending forth and a cause for comparison. I do recall similar dilemmas in Akka, in the early 70's. Back then we used a rhetorical device called Zaberdo Conjecture. Sadly, that doesn't cut it today due to LVT.
Joy Reid is a class act. It will be interesting to see the evolution of our media and she and folks like Costa are forced out for speaking the truth.
Is anyone still relying or even watching any of the msm any longer?I’m finding very little that isn’t watered down
I think they said make the split as amicable as possible and we'll pay out what we owe no problem and have you on as a contributer, blah blah.
I would've been classy about it but don't think I'd wear the jacket. I guess I understand.
The owners of msnbc don't care if the network is profitable or not. They make a lot more money shoveling news or stories beneficial to the corporation that owns them. That's why they make the choices they do, otherwise bring Keith Olberman back even though Maddow would object.
That’s exactly who they should cut. I stopped watching them. What the hell is going on MSNBC I stopped watching CNN really thank God for Maddow and Wallace and Lawrence and the few others Jen Psaki what the hell?
Morning Joe does not let their guests speak.
By the time Mika and Joe shut up with their opinions their guests have only 30 seconds to speak.
When I watched I screamed at them to just shut up with their opinions.
When they went to Mar-a-Largo to kiss trumps ass, I was finished with both of them.
We will see you again! You will not be forgotten. You are appreciated and loved. Your task is not easy to love but you made it heart to heart. That’s special. 🫡
A little of her goes a long way so I don’t bother watching. When I’m hearing reports of our democracy’s further demise I don’t need big smiles and giggles.
This was the most beautiful sight to see. The Marines are letting the people know they hear our cries of freedom! They will not let a king rule America!Revolution! https://youtu.be/IQ1J0HCZS74?si=9zN79jKl3mVvG0xs
The extra Joy is gone now that MSNBC is a "state run media" for white people viewers only. The beautiful colors are gone & your colorful audiences will too. Next thing you know, all Fox News will be watched by uneducated, dumbfuk who will take over MSNBC & they will be the next replacement for Fox.
People have to remember as an employee , the job does not last forever, circumstances are everchanging ! Ready at all times to move forward and thank the employer for all opportunities! Look to future challenges as opportunities.
Or maybe the majority of the recipients of these kind of news identify more with Jen🤷🏻♀️. I started to watch and listening to Jen after seeing her as Biden Press Secretary, it impressed me how she handled the room with cold blood, that’s my opinion. I am a 100% latina by the way.
I feel exactly the opposite. I was telling friends yesterday that I have recorded Joy’s show for years and watch it every night. Jen Psaki just doesn’t do it for me. Can’t get into her show.
this wasn’t a criticism. I’m also just voicing my opinion and I am also a person of color. Do you always cut and run when you don’t like what someone says? How are you going to fight the injustices currently occurring in our country if you can’t take an opposing opinion? Be stronger 💙
We are good them, we simply don’t agree on that one. I am 100% latina for the record, english is my second language and to me Jen is very easy to follow.
You and @sugarandspice719.bsky.social are missing out. Jen may not have the charisma that Joy or Rachel does, but her show is very worthy of watching. Especially now when truthful and factual information is literally ammunition.
I tried to watch her but she reminds me of a Karen, she appears to be snobby and arrogant. I couldn't watch her Obama news press either. Perhaps Stephanie Rule or Rachel can help her appear more likeable.
MSNBC fkd up with this move.
Their ratings will continue to plummet.
Rachel and Lawrence can’t carry the entire network.
I hope Joy goes to meidastouch network and they kick MSNBCs ass!
The #bendingotheknee of our #cablenews networks. They can’t tell us #truth of #what’s really happening only #whatshappening. This is the #endoffreedomofthepress #freespeech and the #firstadmendment. Everyone knows that there will be a #morningafter and everyone wants to #survive #DEI

Sad that media is bending the knee, we need to support more independent voices. MSNBC forgets that people of color, we shop, we stream, we have money and maybe we need to support those that reflect all of us.
She could partially save herself by having Reid on as a guest host, every single day, making Reid a Cohost. Then Psaki could need a leave of absence & Reid is back. Then Reid gets Psaki as a guest host every day. They need to work together.
Thank you Joy for your fearless reporting. For being that person who sees the fake news and report the true news, I know you will be back. God clearly has bigger plans for you. ❤️
HTAF! WTF! This is SOO TOTALLY UNFKNACCEPTABLE I JUST FKN CANNOT! I GuaranFKNtee SNAZI Fkn Miller and it’s vile dbag band of incels threatened the MSNBC CEO There’s NO Fkn way @joy.msnbc.com @ayman.msnbc.com @wagnertonight.msnbc.com and @katiephangshow.bsky.social got axed over Joe the dbag and Ari
You're right.
She was fired because she had the highest ratings and generated the most revenue on the network.
That news channel is in the business to lose money. All charity work.
Please tell me why she was fired. You have it figured out.
Not where I read. But hey you do you.
I am sure they fired her because her ratings and revenue generating skills were the best on the channel.
Why are you so angry?
Are ya ok?
Need to talk to someone?
STFU troll, we both know why! Comcasts ceo is a greed addled multi millionaire who wears a dRed shat, and doesn’t like a mouthy Harvard educated black woman speaking TRUTH TO FKN FELONS! So fkn Save it Sped!
It’s not surprising that companies are lining up and bending the knee. History e this and if you hated history then go read/watch ‘Man in the High Castle’. It will get far worse than this.
I love history and tried to watch Man in the High Castle in 2017 during Drumpfs first term. Even then it felt like a warning and was too stressful for me. You’re 100% correct that this can and most likely will get exponentially worse.
Oh we’ve been getting warnings for a while. I used to joke that I hated the ‘Phantom Menace’ and still do but realised that Lucas wasn’t making a movie, he was sending a warning
I’ve been told to ‘go back to where you’re from’ all my life. I also care about the federal employees being fired under DEI—something Trump falsely blames on Black people like me. A portion of the proceeds from my book will be donated to support federal employees and their families. https://amzn.to/3XgJvTU

Privilege?

They should have axed her back in 2018.

It happens. No matter which side ya are on.
💯💯💯💯
Joy, taught me much with humor, grace, and fire.
What has Psaki ever taught me? Nothing. Has she ever led me to greater depths? No. Opened my mind to a new thought or POV? No.
This is a great loss. To lose Joy and Psaki stays...well, we all know why.
GIVE HER A SHOW 🙏
CORRECTING
ALL LIES PUT FORWARD BY OUR NEW GOVERNMENT.
They don’t deserve Joy
JOY IS AWESOME!

They ran to Trump to kiss his ring to save their necks.
Trump has fucked up everything nice
Cowards
Racists have a special place in HELL.

Canceling Joy Reid?
Low ratings. Low revenue.
Pretty simple no matter which side your on.
Don't over think this.
I understand losing a voice on the left sucks. But it's true.
She was fired because she had the highest ratings and generated the most revenue on the network.

Please tell me why she was fired. You have it figured out.

But are you OK with the $28 BILLION tax dollars that teump shoveled out 2018-20 to US farmers after his failed tariffs destroyed ag exports?
Now- at least $2 BILLION in sales to USAID - DEAD..
Ready for musk to offer you all pennies on the dollar for farms?
