I too will NEVER watch this network again. I first started with a refusal to watch. Now it has become a deletion of the app and a block of the channel on my tv. They would keep Mika and Joe but eliminate Joy??? I’m done! Deleted the app for once and for all!
I would love to see subscribers to the streaming and cable services that broadcast MSNBC stop sending money - i.e. Comcast, Verizon, etc.
Nobody cares if we don’t watch if we keep sending in subscriptions.
Can America really do the hard parts?
MSNBC is now the same as Fox, News Max,and other Nazi media outlets. Why would any minority accept a job that replaces a minority because they are minority? The woman who fired Joy is just like "Latino(s) for Trump,voting against their own interests. NBC International and Comcast Corporation are ZZ.
It's because of the loss of viewers after the election that Joy, Alex Wagner, Katie Phang, and Jose-Diaz Balart lost their shows. MSNBC has been spun off from NBC. It's a bad idea to not have any resistance to the Right, CNN isn't going to do it.
"Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked." - T. Snyder
Oh, national security is gone 78 year old son has put us on the cliff. He voted with Russia today in the UN resolution, look it up wake up folks, your country is under siege.
That's what trump wants. He wants to gut this program so he can replace it with propaganda networks. As much as we are angry, keep watching and we must organize and pressure MSNBC AND NBC TO STOP THE ASSAULT ON DEMOCRACY. DONT FALL FOR TRUMP TACTICS. HE HAS FONE THIS FOR YEARS
you’re just not going to have corporations platforming anti capitalist ideas, unless they are completely toothless.
we are in a crises of capitalism, you’re much more likely to see capitalists just fall in line with fascists than oppose them, which is what we are seeing happen
It’s their loss not hers. Joy but I have refused to watch MSNBC for a long time now. Unfortunately there isn’t a reputable “”News” network left that isn’t compromised aside from @pbsnews.bsky.social. She’s better unfiltered so podcasting is likely the better path.
I have stopped watching MSNBC because of this. It’s outrageous. Joy is a highly professional, super intelligent news commentator with great insight and integrity. I’ll be following her wherever she goes.
Who the hay does MSNBC think will watch their network, now? It's not going to be most liberals and leftists. The moderate lane has no traffic, as much as CNN has tried to pave that one.
And the MAGA crowd won't leave the propaganda networks.
Ridiculous. She did not have the ratings and was given a long time to build an audience. It didn’t happen. We want people engaged and nothing is perfect or you can go watch fox.
Legacy media is cooked. Anyone still watching any mainstream media, regardless of journalists or reporters... is just supporting the propaganda. MSNBC has been in sharp decline since the end of Trumps last presidency. I wish Joy the best of luck.
Signed off MSM right after the election.
No tough questions or even clips OF HIS PROFANE AND FACT-FREE RALLIES that may have revealed his true colors to the magas they may have repulsed with their vile & violent rhetoric - a LOST OPPORTUNITY to show the world who he IS, but…crickets.
Screw you ALL.
And Joy is being replaced by the hosts of The Weekend, all three people of color, and then Ayman and Jonathan are moving to host the Weekend with an added evening slot so Ayman will be doing evening and Jonathan the morning.
I love The Weekend and then @velshi.bsky.social So now it will be just Velshi and my dvr'd stuff.
Idk how The Weekend staff will be received during the week. I will watch them. And Jonathan in the morning? Where?
Here's some of the recurring POC commentators on the MSNBC shows I watch:
Eddie Glaude, Jr. (my favorite new commentator ever)
Michael Steele (also a host)
Basil Smikle
Mara Gay
Donna Edwards
Alicia Menendez (also a host)
Al Sharpton
Yamiche Alcindor
Neal Katyal
Cornell Belcher
Jason Johnson
...
Eugene Robinson
Eugene Daniels
Melissa Murray
Erin Haines
Kavita Patel
Harry Dunn (was initially an interviewee but lately more like a commentator on Deadline Whitehouse)
Elie Mystal
Melissa Murray
Pablo Torre
Anand Giridharadas
Neal Katyal
💔 can’t believe the “leadership” @msnbc.com if you can fucking call them that, bowed down. I kind of assumed something like this would happen when it broke Comcast was going to sell its ownership. But fuck.
Do not hesitate with your profanity or sheer anger at who they 'let go to improve the experience'.
What a fukkin bale on democracy! If this isn't a racist move, not counting their sucking trumps teets by doing this, I don't know what is.
This is exactly what they want. For many older people, they do not listen to podcasts or YouTube. This idea would take away the last trustworthy source of news on TV. Call or write the network, but don’t punish the anchors.
I would like to offer a solution to the DNC communication problem. Hire Pete and Joy to run communications for the DNC with daily press briefings on all platforms.
Because all she's good for is getting a Dem circlejerk going. Preaching to a choir basically. If that sort of thing was enough to win Kamala would be POTUS rn.
I get most of my news from reading trusted sources. But if you are going to watch something, I HIGHLY recommend PBS Newshour. No BS. No partisan preaching. Just the news.
She and others are now a statistic. At least they can now form a podcast and say what ever the hell she wants to say with no crazy-ass repercussions from the likes of MSNBC.
Me too! But I will always watch Rachel. And I hear Alex Wagner was axed as well. Jim Acosta and Brian Stelter from CNN. I guess both networks are worried about the consequences of them speaking out against dear leader. So they want some compliant middle-of-the-roaders.
Reid had 7th most-popular show this n MSNBC and I think they were poised for a ratings bump as every other network capitulates to Trump. Even PBS has a tendency to allow Republicans to spew their talking points unchallenged to maintain "access"
Also… It is absolutely ridiculous how they literally have 5 fvking minutes of air time before they go to another damn commercial break!! Over and over and over! MSNBC is nothing but and advertising network…. If you add up the total amount of time each hourly host has on their show it’s about 25mins!
Just watched Rachel and at the end of her show she says “I’ll be right back” then to another commercial break only for her to come back and say “that’s all the time I have for tonight”🤦🏻♂️
Rachel Maddow said something about only 2 Black hosts are left...I count 4: Alex Wagoner is now a senior analyst; Symone Sanders-Townsend(?); Michael Steele(?); Al Sharpton(?).
She also mentioned Katie Phang...
Who is this new president at MSNBC?
The only thing i watch on MSNBC now is The Weekend. Love all three of these folks - AliciaMenendez, Michael Steele and Simone Sanders-Townsend. If they are cancelled, I’ll be saving a lot of money because they are the only reason I have YouTube TV.
as always, Joy was gracious and ended on a
"positive" note BUT big mistake for new management. I wish she and others that were "let go" would team with others from CNN, like Acosta, and form a news media 💙💔 I love Rachel, Jen and Lawrence and will catch their shows but no others
I'm done with rank and file Democrats. The system was rigged before. Now it's being trashed. Let's build a new government that cares for ALL people, provides a min wage tied to cost of living, #UniversalHealthcare #DayCare #Education AND Zero%loans for 1 home homeowners.
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
Trump's DEI has infested MSNBC/NBC... Look at the the other 5 faces that were also axed from NBC. All 6 are People of Color. Everyone. All of them! WTF!
NBC, MSNBC, NBC UNIVERSAL Owned by Comcast. A conservative co. I think you get it... What's happening now. 6 ankors of color... Gone.
And all at once. I can't wait to see the replacements. 🤔
MSNBC is in trouble and will likely be closed down by its corporate owners. The current anchors, stars, and reporters can create a new start-up on a non-corporate model. Jen Rubin from WPost and others who used to work there are doing that. A free press really isn't free under corporate ownership.
@joyannreid.bsky.social and @maddow.msnbc.com were the only reason to watch @msnbc.com
You can follow Maddow on her podcast and I can’t wait to see what Joy Reid will do next.
I can’t believe the firings of most of my favorite anchors. Not going to watch that channel anymore. I have been paying extra for cable news bot anymore. Buh bye
I dipped out of DISH network about a year ago, and have not had a single regret. I can find my favorite journalists on YouTube and watch them without all the speculation, repetition, and hyperbole. Best part though is no freezing dogs on chains, or bent carrot commercials!!🤣
Targeted attack by white supremicist Trump administration against so called DEI hires, so massive firings of people of color + women in previously white male dominated positions. My worry is the Muskovites have hacked into the US Treasury & will shut down Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid payments
I'm so sick and tired of corporations complying in advance and dropping DEI programs. There's only one reason to fire all your non-white on air personalities.
This isn't going to bring racists flocking over from Fox, and it's not going to bring back the Liberals they lost long ago.
The #bendingotheknee of our #cablenews networks. They can’t tell us #truth of #whatsreallyhappening only #whatshappening. This is the #endoffreedomofthepress #freespeech and the #firstadmendment. Everyone know that there will be a #morningafter and everyone wants to #survive #DEI
Show your displeasure by cutting the cord. The powers that be only understand money. Cut the supply off. Get a streaming device for shows, movies, etc. Use reliable and factual sources on the Internet for your news.
The gift will reveal itself in time. Fuck all cable news, they created the situation we’re in. Indie news media is critical right now and Joy will land where she’s meant to be so she can more fully be herself sans corporate overlords. I’m super excited to see where they all land! 👏🏼
Journalists have to make a living like everyone but they don’t need to be celebrities & expect millions. The Fourth Estate has never been a get rich scheme. Crowd funded media (subscriptions, paid or otherwise) is viable if we support it. I wish I could afford to support more than I do.
I do not believe she had poor number of viewers. Something smells. She was honest and to the point. This is so wrong! Unfortunately, I like them all. Just so disappointed in the station I could trust.
Trump has nothing to do with this.
When the most valuable demographic category (people aged 24-54) stop watching, there is low ratings and advertisers don’t buy time. Something had to happen. And it will continue.
I hope you’re right. Although I think that demographic is on YouTube or TikTok at least the 24-40 yr olds. There large boomer demographic that still watch tv which is what is keeping tv going for now - so let’s just say I hope it’s about demographics and not DEI which is born out by who was fired.
You do have a point.
I did see where CNN has a daytime audience of 66,000 and nighttime of 74,000. With these numbers, by continuing to keep Reid and the others is not sustainable for the network to stay in business. It is not NPR.
It seems that the entire tv industry is paddling water right now. I would see MSNBC’s actions differently if it didn’t appear like the removal of only what the right considers DEI hires. If we’re moving toward “real Americans” then shouldn’t we replace all the white people with Native Americans?
I stopped watching the day after the stolen election! Then! Joe & Mika from the Morning Joe Show which I was a fan of all last year, went to Mara Lago & kissed the ring! That’s what did it for me! I will never watch that show again! I do catch Rachel & Lawrence on YouTube now & then that’s my limit.
I looked forward to her every evening. I love TheWeekend crew but they should stay there. I think this is a huge mistake. I know Joy’s rating started going down with the Biden bashing and the Palestinian BS but she moved on to other things. I will miss her. 🦋
We are so pissed with you @msnbc.com .... PEOPLE OF COLOR are not invisible. @msnbc.com OUR STORIES are REAL! And REPRESENTATION MATTERS! For you to replace @joyannreid.bsky.social with @jenpsaki.msnbc.com tells our community that you don't give a DAMN about us. WE FEEL THIS! WE FEEL THIS!
I misspoke about @jenpsaki.msnbc.com replacing @joyannreid.bsky.social, but she is replacing Alex Wagner...who is a person of color. It is still very shameful of the treatment by @msnbc.com towards its employees.

I'm boycotting @msnbc.com and all of them if they don't stand for @joyannreid.bsky.social
@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @maddow.msnbc.com @nicollewallace.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social
Cancelled cable two years ago. I watch Lawrence, Rachel and Nicole on YouTube. Networks are all oligarch owned and bending the knee for access to the Felon Traitor. Better to lose access and then offer analysis of T’s surrendering our country to Putin and the oligarchs.
I stopped watching right after the election. All they became were a bunch of cry babies with not much positive energy. When I turned off all news, my mental health improved significantly. I do not miss it!
As are so many more! I find it hard to believe the news outlet owners are not 1st Amendment zealots!
Once again, billionaires are controlling our lives, our democracy!!
Why are we allowing them to?????
I hope she considers joining one of the independent media groups. I sadly haven't watched her since the far right morning "couple" rushed to lardo to suck the mushroom. Full MSNBC blackout. Would love to see her somewhere I can watch again. She is beyond excellent.

Shame on MSNBC!
we are in a crises of capitalism, you’re much more likely to see capitalists just fall in line with fascists than oppose them, which is what we are seeing happen
And the MAGA crowd won't leave the propaganda networks.
I mean, ever?
Sure as fuck no one in my household.
I can’t believe it matters.
No tough questions or even clips OF HIS PROFANE AND FACT-FREE RALLIES that may have revealed his true colors to the magas they may have repulsed with their vile & violent rhetoric - a LOST OPPORTUNITY to show the world who he IS, but…crickets.
Screw you ALL.
A grand experiment nonetheless, but a dead end.
B - lack
C - ommentators

You should run and see if they will do it!

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social
I feel the same way about Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell.
But to make lemonade out of lemons
Her replacements
I'm happy with
Upset once
Not twice
I'll take that
She’s smart..she’s strong..this is huge mistake.
She also mentioned Katie Phang...
Who is this new president at MSNBC?
"positive" note BUT big mistake for new management. I wish she and others that were "let go" would team with others from CNN, like Acosta, and form a news media 💙💔 I love Rachel, Jen and Lawrence and will catch their shows but no others
Stinky
Numb
Butt
Circus
There are real news services available that are not capitalist owned apologists to the rotten stench in Washington
And all at once. I can't wait to see the replacements. 🤔
You can follow Maddow on her podcast and I can’t wait to see what Joy Reid will do next.
I will always look for and listen to Joy Reid ❤️ More Power to her!!! 💜💕
THEY ARE PUBLICALLY OPEN ABOUT THIER AGENDA AND ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY BIG MONEY NOR BIG CORP.
