Maybe you’ll get it if Rachel says it.

Reposted from Acyn

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

As much as I like Chris, Rachel, & Lawrence, I won't be watching anymore. Jen is a weekender, she's not that good and I could see this coming when they started t Monday night thing w/her. No thanks! Substack needs a YouTube channel. Too many good news sources doing their own thing over there.

realfakejayme.bsky.social•9 days ago

we get it - msnbc doesn't. and msnbc won't take this seriously until rachel leaves. it's not my place to tell someone how to live their life, but i'm sure she has the means to survive - she really ought to stand by her colleagues and walk out with them to make the point.

beccma.bsky.social•9 days ago

All the whites need to walk out.

realfakejayme.bsky.social•9 days ago

100% absolutely.

kindraf.bsky.social•9 days ago

Alternatively she stays but continues to publically and vehemently hammer home the point and forces the powers to either let her continue or force her out. Her being forced out for highlighting the company racism and capitulation is a bigger stand than principled resignation

kindraf.bsky.social•9 days ago

Dr Borrenpohl being dragged from the event is an image that collectively caught our consciousness in ways that can never be achieved had she walked out under her own steam, even under duress. Maddow should make them drag her off air

arts-letters.bsky.social•8 days ago

Sounds good Rachel. What I'm getting now is that the head of MSNBC is getting paid to trash it.

I'm following wherever Joy-Ann leads, and won't blink to leave MSNBC.

Losing critical thinkers is what Trump wants. It's Orwell's 1984

Bread and circuses until there’s no more bread…

egandale.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’m going to miss Rachel but I have no other option than boycotting to express my disappointment.

starlightwishes.bsky.social•9 days ago

Trump was so happy posting about this yesterday! And he HATES Rachel too. So, at some point I expect they'll ax her too. Along with the trio who are filling Joy's spot. They probably just couldn't find enough racist white men to fill all those spots at once.

samhendricks10.bsky.social•9 days ago

What is the upside for NBC??? I just do not see one. They have lost a massive amount of their audience - all people of color and most progressive white viewers. This has to be naked racism of management.

Stupid, stupid, stupid!

jenlovesobg.bsky.social•8 days ago

I suspect that Joe Scarborough has culpability in this shit show. He got @tiffanydcross.bsky.social fired.

mkoh.bsky.social•8 days ago

The fucked up, morally deprived and insecure Trump and his belly-up minions--wish them all fast demise--have placed those that don't look like them at the back of the bus; Like Rosa Parks, we all must stay in our seat and tell the hostiles to fuck-off.

hoopbears.bsky.social•9 days ago

As she calmly states in a polite voice, "This is indefensible - but I will continue to work here for these indefensible people, and will never mention their indefensible actions again"

pantheonsky.bsky.social•9 days ago

Joy for NYC Mayor! We need her voice and wisdom in power…@joyannreid.bsky.social

sparklejenn.bsky.social•9 days ago

This is terrible. I don't know what actually happened but, Joy had a great show !!! Joy's show was very informative and many times, I felt the same way about what is going on. She also had a way of making me laugh when I wanted to cry. She will be missed 😢

lindyleelife.bsky.social•9 days ago

Rachel could start her own network and take her colleagues with her.

polijunkie.bsky.social•9 days ago

I was grateful to her for saying it in so many words. That’s using your power.

chadtheripper.bsky.social•9 days ago

Maybe she just wasn't pulling the views. It's not like she wasn't controversial either. MSNBC has been terrible for a long time now.

melojam.bsky.social•8 days ago

RACISM if the firing blatant; you gotta be at the table! These fired journalists, each unique, brought perspective and DIFFERENT STORIES!

sdodds.bsky.social•9 days ago

@maddow.msnbc.com should walk. A major backer needs to come forth to build a station for a new @msnbc.com. @oprah-winfrey.bsky.social already has OWN. She could find partners.

jenlovesobg.bsky.social•8 days ago

I have been suggesting that @mcuban.bsky.social and other sane billionaires like Oprah, Tyler Perry, Spielberg, et al buy FOX and revamp it into journalism as an integral step in restoring democracy by killing the propaganda network that has brainwashed millions of white people. 🤨

blurbette.bsky.social•9 days ago

Nope.

ab9rf.bsky.social•9 days ago

the only way they'll get it is when rachel herself walks out the door and takes 80% of MSNBC's remaining viewership with her

scorpion233.bsky.social•9 days ago

I would watch her on her own YouTube channel. Lawrence O'Donnell. Same.

amithibedeau.bsky.social•9 days ago

100 days down the road, only Lawrence and Jen are worth watching 5 days a week. Rachel will be Monday only, and the rest of the programming is meh. MSNBC made a big mistake.

sdbaker.bsky.social•9 days ago

Too late. Trust is broken.

gardennuts.bsky.social•8 days ago

I get it and always have. My gramma taught me about love and it didn’t include hating people for the color of their skin. It’s just plain old ignorance.

potch-hctop47.bsky.social•8 days ago

We want Joy back! End of story.

diananicholettejeon.com•9 days ago

This. Exactly.

patnasonsongs.bsky.social•9 days ago

I’m glad Rachel said it. It’s necessary. I would like to hear her - and Lawrence O’Donnell, Stephanie Ruhle, and Nicolle Wallace - call out MSNBC for more than just Joy Reid.

caffeinatedsurf.bsky.social•9 days ago

Rachel mentioned Alex Wagner and Katie Phang.

stephwillerton.bsky.social•9 days ago

they did on Joy’s show. Agree that @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @nicollewallace.bsky.social @stephruhle.bsky.social should stick together and reinforce the same points.

displaceddaisy.bsky.social•9 days ago

She will likely be next. The media is owned and not by us.

mlbosin.bsky.social•8 days ago

@msnbc.com you will be sorry!

egod77.bsky.social•9 days ago

Bravo to her for speaking up on air and saying what a lot of us are thinking.. letting these anchors go screams of discrimination and it’s such a bad look, like bending the knee to trump

macsmom.bsky.social•9 days ago

It is so sad that you have to say that.

alenjay2.bsky.social•9 days ago

I want to know who, and why, is bowing down to the FELON administration and eliminating truth tellers on MSNBC 🤬🤬🤬

imacanadianinusa.bsky.social•9 days ago

Exactly this. 100%. Thank you, Rachel, for speaking up.

theglamourmachine.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’ll be more impressed when she resigns. And with each passing day I’ll be less impressed

sonthou.bsky.social•9 days ago

Corporate America is the (secret/not-so-secret) enemy of Democracy.

inkwrat.bsky.social•9 days ago

Got it the first time, thanks.
Also glad to see Maddow et al standing up for their colleagues and calling out @msnbc.com's despicable, cowardly capitulation.

jgwill6.bsky.social•9 days ago

The picture of Joy, Rachel, Nicole and Lawrence said more than enough. I don’t recall who asked the question of What are you willing to give up to allow a black person a seat at the table? Rachel, Nicole and Lawrence have answered. Without them walking out the door, words are cheap.

esso62.bsky.social•9 days ago

I am dismayed and disgusted by MSNBC removing diverse voices. It’s one of the reasons I’ve loved the lineup. This is not a shake up, it’s a color scrub. Bad move, bad look and most of all bad judgement removing so many talented hosts. For shame .

mykidsmombb8.bsky.social•9 days ago

Rachel may not defend it however, she certainly enables it.

rworthen.bsky.social•8 days ago

Trump is shutting down access to anyone who displeases him while major media outlets are folding to the pressure.

A lot of very talented journalists are now available for independent news organizations to scoop up. They could quickly dominate I would think.

greysky209.bsky.social•8 days ago

Being replaced by 3 non-white hosts.

Sanders, Steele and Menendez.
