While opinions are divided on Joy Reid’s firing due to @joy.msnbc.com's
plummeting ratings, wouldn't these two have been the obvious ones to start with @msnbc.com?

Should have replaced the morning show with those 3.

ruku9.bsky.social•17 hours ago

No. Disagree. Those 3 are timid compared to Joy. They play the corporate game.

thejenniwren.teamlh.social•16 hours ago

🤷🏻‍♀️

Fire Joe and Mika, Trump ass kissers.

cranberryhorn.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I think Joy is Brilliant, but the mediocre (white) public can't handle that in their face.

uptowngurl.bsky.social•17 hours ago

My sentiment exactly! Haven’t watched @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social since they kissed the ring

bluepup136.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Nope never again

lorigb.bsky.social•12 hours ago

And they kept Chris Jansing & Morning Joe? 😱

lobsterlobby.bsky.social•5 hours ago

I mean no disrespect to the new hosts, but Joy Reid and Alex Wagner are, in my opinion, heads and shoulders above.

lucylady.bsky.social•17 hours ago

What. BS. My god.

wabbisabbi.bsky.social•17 hours ago

If morning Joe is still on this channel, nothing this CEO is doing can be considered " good business". It's kissing the ring. Those Dems that are replacing joy have certainly signed an agreement with the network about what they can't say about the mango moron

imstillstanding.bsky.social•16 hours ago

She will destroy the network like the new ahole running CNN did. I hope all these hard line supporters of the rule of law start a new network. We need one

kspi.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I won't watch. I don't agree with MSNBC's decision to get rid of Joy Ann Reid.

lindarn.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Yup or Katy Tur

thejenniwren.teamlh.social•16 hours ago

Oops, I meant Latina

12doglady.bsky.social•9 hours ago

This is the first I heard that Joy Reed has been fired. I'm so mad, I loved her.

foodscorn.bsky.social•15 hours ago

I’m still upset. She’s been a force needed on that network and dropping her is terrible news.

jasfine.bsky.social•4 hours ago

I disagree, replacing Joy Reid with these individuals won't necessarily ensure unbiased reporting, and their past statements have raised concerns about their own impartiality.

robertroy.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Joe and Mika got a chance to do an interview with Trump right after the election. They are journalists, and as such were professionally obligated to do the interview. If you have watched since, neither of them have cut Trump any slack.

thejenniwren.teamlh.social•16 hours ago

I haven’t liked either of them for many years.

aeliskandar.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Obligated? Put down the crack pipe. Fascists aren’t entitled to a forum.

robertroy.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Journalists go where the news is. Trump is news.

rotterdamvvg.bsky.social•17 hours ago

*Latina* is the word for females.

imstillstanding.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Sorry, I don’t watch The Weekend because I cannot stand Symone Townsend constantly interrupting everyone and talking over them. She is fine one-on-one when she is being interviewed. I will watch Rachel and Lawrence and Al Sharpton on Sunday. And hope Joy joins new network!

thejenniwren.teamlh.social•16 hours ago

Rachel & Lawrence are pretty much the only ones I watch.

myrajessica.bsky.social•13 hours ago

One would think these 2 would be the first to go. Mika is not so bad......but Joe is a gasbag who interrupts and pontificates when he should be listening.

thejenniwren.teamlh.social•13 hours ago

Agreed. He’s such an arrogant misogynist

jasondogwood.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I’m only upset because I really like Joy Reid. 😢

thejenniwren.teamlh.social•17 hours ago

I get that. There are times I am a fan, but as a Jewish woman she did a good job alienating us. Something that won’t happen with the 3 replacements.

judykas.bsky.social•16 hours ago

She was one of the few journalists who spoke up about what was happening in Palestine.

imstillstanding.bsky.social•16 hours ago

If 2 of them can get a word in. I won’t watch. I hope others boycott too. And I have 40 yrs in media. I see the writing on the wall. It’s all about controlling the anchors. Joy wouldn’t play the game. Not cutting morning joe and canceling Joy is just the start.

thejenniwren.teamlh.social•16 hours ago

Then why didn’t they fire Maddow & Lawrence the two most vociferous journalists speaking out against Trump and Elon

imstillstanding.bsky.social•16 hours ago

It comes down to advertising dollars. Don’t fool yourself thinking the owners care about the integrity in reporting. They are trying to balance between keeping the current regime happy and making money. It wouldn’t surprise me if they are putting pressure on Rachel and Lawrence too. Cashcows 4 them.

thejenniwren.teamlh.social•13 hours ago

Doesn’t matter if they’re “cash cows.” They never fail to speak out against Trump and all injustice with ferocity and facts.

bluepup136.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Agreed

merri24.bsky.social•16 hours ago

This⬆️⬆️⬆️👏🏽👏🏽

bluepup136.bsky.social•13 hours ago

I feel the same

leslieh1.bsky.social•11 hours ago

When I watched her she always tackled issues head on and was one of the best but I will admit I only watched her sparingly. I hate to hear that she alienated Jewish people.

thejenniwren.teamlh.social•10 hours ago

As a Democrat I think she’s fierce. Unfortunately, she promoted a lot of pro Palestine propaganda that fueled antisemitism. Also, she didn’t support Joe & was slow to back Kamala.

leslieh1.bsky.social•10 hours ago

I will never understand antisemitism.

thejenniwren.teamlh.social•10 hours ago

Thank you. Me either.

mrs-b-2021.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Jennifer,

Here is an awesome activist who is trying to organize protests. He has a plan, and he needs a broad audience.

You have a wider audience than I do.

Please, please check him out and make him known! He’s a brilliant comedian too.

Worth your time.

@cliffcashcomedy.bsky.social

thejenniwren.teamlh.social•17 hours ago

Do you know him? If you do, recommend to him to follow more people, especially the larger accounts. That’s part of the problem.

thejenniwren.teamlh.social•17 hours ago

I’m following him. Will put him in a starter pack and suggest him to others with bigger accounts. Thanks for sharing!

imstillstanding.bsky.social•16 hours ago

He needs to follow back. Just saying

mrs-b-2021.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I’m sure he doesn’t know this works. I sent a couple of messages explaining this fact.

merri24.bsky.social•17 hours ago

But why was she replaced? She was very successful. She spoke out against the regime.

thejenniwren.teamlh.social•16 hours ago

Ratings

truebleu.bsky.social•9 hours ago

+ Katy Tur = cringe

glamourshots.bsky.social•11 hours ago

No. Replacing JOY is a slap in the face even if, and more importantly because she is a black woman. Pitting black and brown people against each other is what the country has done for centuries.

thejenniwren.teamlh.social•10 hours ago

I respectfully disagree. In fact, her ratings have dropped significantly. She failed to support Joe & didn’t back Kamala for a while. While we are a small minority, she alienated numerous Jewish people, including me, by promoting propaganda that fueled a antisemitism.
