@msnbc at the behest of Rashida Jones, Jessie Rodriguez, and their translucent bosses did this the last time Trump became President. There's nothing like using minority talent as the fall guy. That network found a way to keep Katy Tur and Joe & Minka? How and why?
Joe and Mika bring in the bucks. Katy Tur is flakey. I like her. And I'm excited to see Jen Psaki go full time, as she continues to prove redheads can wear orange.
I’m sorry, more progressive? Joy, Katie and Simone are the epitome of progressive. This is why we all need to boycott MSNBC. Not progressive, kissing ass more like it
So, if an executive order is not law, and constitutionally, it is NOT, then I believe that all people of color and gender that are terminated because of being erroneously claimed as DEI hires have unlawful termination lawsuits that they should pursue. I may be wrong. I am not a lawyer.

A little misleading as the weekend hosts got a 5 day prime time slot. They are severing from NBC so they do need to free up more field correspondents for reporting.
Totally agree! I am embarrassed of our country. I am a white grandma and I’ve taught my kids better. They have friends of all races. Why wouldn’t they? Our grandchildren have more friends of color than white. US white supremacy is a stain on America, and to the world.
Same here, it's infuriating. The misogynistic men who go along with it are despicable, but THE WOMEN ARE EVEN WORSE!! If they think they're special because they're drinking the Kool aid and spouting the MAGA party line, they're even stupider than their male counterparts.
Joy Reid is the reason I started watching MSNBC, and she's one reason that I've hung on to it for so long. All I can say to @msnbc is the leopard will eat your face, too.
I am also an old white woman, who is sick of other white people's s***.
I am beyond over it. 🤬
I feel like I should apologize to every black person I see; I don't know how they stand it.
And yes they say they do it in the name of Jesus. Sorry I never read "thou shalt be a racist" in the Bible.
If this doesn’t finally open everyone’s eyes that the corporate media has been sold out to people who are bowing to the white supremacists. Felon47 is a racist & openly hated @joyannreid.bsky.social
I love Rachel & Lawrence but I will not watch MSNBC again.
She's white, albeit so utterly incompetent, but she's white. It boils down to whiteness and the amount of melanin pigmentation--or lack thereof--you carry on your skin.
That always made me curious - why do Caucasians fetishize dark skin so much that they spend hours lying on the beach to make their skin dark and then disdain those whose skin is naturally that way.
#WeNeedJoy @maddow.msnbc.com
Rachel Maddow WHERE IS YOUR SUPPORT for Joy Reid? So many of us will never watch you again if it does not come forth. Please don’t disappoint. STAND WITH US!
This isn't a bloodbath. This is a brain drain. The three of them, each present, an intelligent, necessary news format that all of us eagerly await. Katie Phang is someone I assumed would be given a bigger role.
It won't even matter. They suck. They're not going to pry viewers from fox. The maga that don't like fox go over to Newsmax or OAN. They only hate watch msnbc.
The people that normally would watch won't now, because they are getting rid of well liked hosts.
Sorry-clarify. Blocked them here & removed them from my channels/library on Sirius. Don’t know if you can actually block an entire channel. Regardless, I won’t hear ads running on Sirius app. I’ll subscribe to remaining hosts’ podcasts/substacks that rpt news & I won’t be supporting Morning Joe.
They're kinda just rolling over and shutting down their own network at this point. They're losing their demographic with all this BS and there's nobody to replace us, they're all loyal to Fox/OAN/Newsmax.
But they keep Joe Scarborough. The man who loves to kiss his own ass, blow his own horn and pat himself on the back day after freaking day. Cares little about anything else.
This is really cruel. All people of color and they are gone. I agree they could have Joy Reid is an excellent journalist, along with Ayman, Jonathan and Katie.
MSNBC is a big target. If all of these voices spread to the winds and keep talking (and don't need to worry about editorial control), they may spread further and will be harder to squelch. The rest of us need to support them wherever they land.
If it wasn't for @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com, @maddow.msnbc.com & @nicollewallace.bsky.social, @msnbc.com would never see the pixels inside my tv. Here's hoping my 3 favs walk off in solidarity and all of them find a way to create an independent news network we can watch regularly.
Those are the 3 that I watch. I DVR and skip commercials. I used to watch Joy Reid, but found her hard to watch last year. But I am pissed she was fired.
Aaron Parnas and the Meidas have become my ‘go to’ news sources. The only MSNBC commentators I watch are Nichole, Rachel and Ali. The knee bending, boot licking morning crew sicken me.
Lawrence O‘Donnell is fantastic! Ayman, Katie, Joy are/were great. @msnbc.com will live to regret these inexplicable decisions. Fortunately, I can watch German television news and prefer to as it’s waaay better and factual!!
So many great diverse voices now on Substack. Ex WAPO and NYT people. Jim Acosta from CNN. Jen Rubin and Marc Elias. Consider supporting these voices. Wonderful to see them when there’s no boss like Bezos or new MSNBC pres looming over them.
Ideas of where? Is it a bit like Bluesky? We start out hopeful and then things get hijacked? Thankfully, have not yet run into the Nazis, but don’t doubt you that they are there. Will be vigilant.
More victims of @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social @msnbc.com that is why I turned off MSNBC TV and Radio. Sorry folks but I had to turn off the channel
Because ‘Why Not’.
Because it’s offensive asf! Also why make the assumption they were hired because of their race? Why is this the question only asked of Black and pOC. No one asks if the white person got the job because they were white.
It's not me,cabron
Anti dei claims they got their job because of their colour
I don't know did this one get job because they are coloured
But for sure I see they are fired because of their colour
Racist scums
She’s a go along to get along girl. She will not stir the pot. She was not loyal to Biden at all during the Summer when he was forced out. I stopped watching her back then. I don’t trust her.
I’m so torn. I want to stop watching but Rachel is only thing I watch currently. As much as I respect and admire her, unless she speaks out against this current purge tonight, I’m done.
Calling the anti-truth streaming platform “Truth” doesn’t mean there will be an ounce of truth in it. Still frosting on a road apple. (Credit: Scott McNealy)
Write to MSNBC, and tell them how you feel pronto! Don't be afraid to use profanity...
Tell them to dump Morning Joe.
Gads, that 'show' is horrible!
Have done this several times already.
I've been done with corporate media since the election. @msnbc.com was on my TV 24/7...WAS...now they can 🖕🏽and I got rid of @corporate.comcast.com @xfinityx.bsky.social (same company)
cable too!!
This is horrible.
They can’t possibly have MAGA 1/6/21 defending hosts lined up for the daytime and weekend shows?
Cable news is becoming harder to justify keeping right now.
Boycott msnbc ffs. Why is anyone still watching msm after finding out the oligarch bosses determine the narrative. They helped get us here. I'll follow joy wherever she goes but eff the rest who will let this happen.
This is what happens when you have the rich controlling the companies in the mass media. Besides Trump supporters made it clear. They only want to hear one side, truth doesn’t matter, and it only has to be Trump side. Just like Hitler.
Not surprised at all… the bloodbath is just beginning. Let’s see what happens when news outlets start shutting down if they don’t bow to President Musk and his puppet. USA needs 2/3 years under a harsh dictator to truly understands dictatorial state of shit.
"Between 8-11 p.m. MSNBC struggled to attract an audience of 734,000. During the day, the network only managed to draw in 45,000 viewers, and just 63,000 during peak night hours.
This indicates that the network lost nearly half of its 25-54 viewers compared to last year"
But isn't that why people are complaining about these show hosts being fired? Bec weren't they the ones standing up to Republicans?
Or are you calling Joy Reid a milquetoast?
I am absolutely not saying the people fired deserved it. It does sure look like they got fired because they aren't white. I won't be surprised if it's revealed that there was pressure from the administration to remove them.
I stopped watching MSNBC when the anti Biden campaign started after the June 2024 presidential debate. I knew then how fake MSNBC really is. It's better than Fox, but still propaganda nevertheless.
I haven’t watched since the election. No plans. I like Rachel and Lawrence and will follow them wherever they are, but between the ring kissing and the drug commercials, MSNBC is unwatchable.
Same here. She completely betrayed all and is being rewarded for it. But, as Chris Rock once said “It’s alright, because it’s all white”. The network should be Beyond ashamed.
You are NOT force fed to watch anyone.
I too completely disagree with the whitewashing of MSNBC as well. And my parents are going to be passed. I need to hook them up with meidastouch somehow.
It feels like so much progress has been lost this year. Skin color literally matters zero so why do we white people keep allowing our brothers & sisters to be treated this way?
This is the controlling media process in the coup. Expect successively more control. In step with, successivelly more brutal crackdowns. Putin has done the same in 25 years. Patel has not hired his front line goons yet. So, things are still calm.
I was talking to a friend over the weekend and predicted all 3 of them would lose their shows. I also mentioned several others but won’t mention them here. Hint: all of them are POC.
I’ve been done with MSNBC for several years. Couldn’t stand Nicole Wallace. So many of these hosts continuously interrupt their guests or take like 5 minutes to ask a f**ing question.
Stop with the identity politics garbage. These hosts were not very good to begin with...and if it was all about minorities being fired wouldn't Maddow have been involved also? Let's have more news and less opinion stuff on all of these channels.
Stop watching cable news, no matter who is on it. The entire premise of it is based on feeding you bullshit and talking about it 24/7. None of these people even believe what they say on air.
The question is, who do we turn to? Who can we watch who will give us truthful reporting? I’m serious. I wanna know. CNN was co-opted long ago and now MSNBC. And yet, there are at least three lying, RW propaganda networks thriving. I think we’re screwed.
Watch and join Meidas Touch Network. I boycott all legacy media. I selectively watch some clips like Lawrence and Rachel.
I read Guardian and BBC. There is truthful media.
What an absolute crock of sh*t! So, I guess the new woman in charge at #MSNBC is following #FatAssFrumpBoy's "let's get rid of DEI hiring" despite the fact that she would be one of them too except she's a white woman. This is just pathetic and senseless!
Well it looks like I will not be watching any MSNBC other than Rachel & Lawrence. Looks like they have been bought out by Trump too. How come joe & mike are still there????? It’s a travesty what is happening to your country. ❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I stopped watching when @mehdirhasan.bsky.social show was cancelled. I value diversity, and I learned and appreciated the perspective of voices I had not heard enough of.
Yes! This👆 I will follow those voices who aren’t scared to speak truth to power. Sign me up to whichever streaming service picks up @joyannreid.bsky.social and the other non-white voices that we want and need to hear!

and the DICKtator who is all of that.
I love Rachel & Lawrence but I will not watch MSNBC again.
After the Industrial Revolution put the workers inside factories, a tan would show that you could afford to go lay in the sun or vacation.
I don’t have any explanation for the disdain.
Rachel Maddow WHERE IS YOUR SUPPORT for Joy Reid? So many of us will never watch you again if it does not come forth. Please don’t disappoint. STAND WITH US!
You get her bio.
Radical changes to MSNBC broadcasting, eliminating diversity, an agenda to bring in conservative shows.
It all points to a slow elimination of all liberal hosts, until all that remains is MAGA propaganda.
Trump is ecstatic.
The people that normally would watch won't now, because they are getting rid of well liked hosts.
Maybe I’m having a what the fuck is the truth, nervous breakdown!
🤮
Hopefully they will do something now that they aren't captured.
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
@msnbc.bsky.social
Because ‘Why Not’.
I'd love to see Ayman reunite with Mehdi Hassan at Zeteo.
Capeheart will probably just be a Morning Joe contributor. Bleh.
Anybody think MSNBC has the balls to fire Sharpton?
Sorry Rachel.
Mika and Joe get to stay and polish Trump every morning?
But for sure they lost their job because they are coloured

If nothing else we could start a local pamphlet-type sheets like the long ago Common Sense.
She is definitely part of the mainstream media that is responsible for Trump.

#Krasnov owns MSNBC now too.
It’s a purge and it will continue
#fascism #racism #bigotry
They should all livestream their own shows now
I read Guardian and BBC. There is truthful media.
We deserve news outlets that are independent, unbiased and untethered to the oligarchy.
CNN 553,000
MSNBC 1,281,000
Total Prime Time Viewers per network
CNN and MSNBC already had low viewing numbers since 2020, but have lost half its viewers since the election night.
MSNBC is surrendering to MAGA.
