Its about ratings, people. She just wasn’t drawing eyeballs (including mine). On MSNBC I only watch Morning Joe, Nicole Wallace and Lawrence O’Donnell. They are all wicked smart, connected to strong information sources, and make me laugh (and sometimes cry).
Bullshit! The Reidout was very good! It was Trump that had a problem with her the way she spoke truth about his inability to govern! NBC is the parent company that falls in line when Tump is criticized!
Opinions differ. I've been watching the MSNBC evening block for years & IMHO Reid's show lost its edge. I'm speculating but it feels like her producers reined her in.
You right, opinions differ, but Trump publicly stated he didn’t like her and called her a “nasty woman” because of her critical analysis of him. MSNBC did the same thing to Tiffany Cross when she start criticizing Fox News and called out their lies! MSNBC and NBC is afraid of Trump!
Easy to look at race here, but I watched a lot of MSNBC and stopped because of Reid’s extreme partisan lens. There were more reasonable journalists bookending her show. Her’s was pure echo chamber not unlike the worst of Fox—even when I agreed with her it was lopsided in its best day.
So who's next? Late show hosts? musicians? Actors? Then we will it be Christmas every day & Jesus will be reborn everyday. Amen. Like 50 First Dates, but Forever Dates. Thank God none of will be around to see it. We'll be dead by then. Thank God, like Dick Van Dyke says.
Symone Sanders/Steele/Menendez will replace her. Love Reid. Read Melissa Murray may get a future slot. MSNBC is hypocritical hot mess
Murray is a law professor, legal analyst & clerked 4 Stotomayor. Was only Black clerk at US Court of Appeals-2nd district. She doesn’t need msnbc but would be great!⚖️
Even the media wants to kiss the ring and silence the people! Well it was a good run America but we’ve finally proven we’re no different than any other country, no matter how many songs you sing…
Well there is a basic problem with your reporting right off the bat. MSNBC is not a "liberal network". Unless of course you think anything to the left of JD Vance can be characterizzed that way.
The word uppity has been historically used against Black people as a racist term. It has been used for both men and women. When I hear the word “uppity” I immediately think of racism.
You were right to call me on it. But as I wrote, all women are black, literally, actually in this world and nation. We're all being to told to shut our mouths because we're being loud and seen. As Janet Mills was told the other day. I think that this 'move' to eliminate her show was the same thing.
A "liberal network" doesn't have its premier show -- Morning Joe -- hosted by a former Republican congressman, who definitely does not consider himself a liberal.
Same with Nicole Wallace, Michael Steele and others.
Wow, I can only hope @msnbc.com understands that is middle class professionals rely on them to take a progressive stand for our future and for our kids future.
What kind of world view do you have to refer to MSNBC as a "liberal network"?
The Guardian has truly lost its' way. I supported it for years but honestly don't see the point anymore. Yes Independent journalism is important, but bad independent journalism doesn't deserve my money
Not sorry, finally I can watch election coverage and other major events without her suffering ego talking over Rachel, Lawrence, Chris, and Nicole. Always trying to push Rachel out of conversation. Love Velsie another winner.
It's disappointing. Her show is excellent. It concerns me that this may be a sign that they are dampening down their progressive content because their corporate owners are afraid of repercussions from Trump. They have some great hosts and content. It will be a real loss if this trend continues.
From Australia: Joy Reid & Alex Wagner were two of the few anchors we still tuned into, after Joe & Mika's ring kissing visit to the felon. We respected why legal analyst Glenn Kirschner left. Today, despite liking some remaining anchors such as Rachel Maddow, we unsubscribed to MSNBC entirely.
This news about MSNBC canceling @joyannreid.bsky.social really posses us off. She is one of the best voices on TV and one of the few on their network to ask tough questions to Dems. This is tragic and gross.
Who even watches MSNBC or CNN anymore? Ageism was ok to point out but not a fucking lunatic that is hell bent on destroying our country.Fuck the msm,get your info from independent journalists who are not willing to bend the knee!!!!
MSNBC plans to replace Reid’s slot with a new show co-led by three anchors – Symone Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele – who currently co-host The Weekend show.
Terribly disappointed with this decision by the new leadership. Joy is a crucial voice on MSNBC. The replacement panel doesn’t appeal in the least. Keep Joy!!
MSNBC's ratings have tanked. They barely pull 500k viewers. the network is in survival mode because if their ratings keep sinking they'll be forced to sell off the network or turn it into something else. Still a business.
The Cable channels MSNBC, CNBC, etc.) are being separated from NBC Universal (Comcast) Broadcasting (NBC etc.)!and will be under new ownership. MSNBC has new leadership and presumably are trying to boost the ratings (even though they’re higher than CNN). Expect some trial & error.
Other Joy Reid fans out there, PLEASE TELL MSNBC TO CONTINUE HER SHOW. It's a great & always educational show & I love her sense of humor. They tried to pull this shit with Lawrence O'Donnell years ago & public outrage made them reverse course. (212) 664-4444 [email protected].
💔😭 I don't understand why, unless it's because she was too truthful and did not have the same Republican has beens as other programs. I don't need to hear more excuse makers for FOTUS while DOGE does who knows what to our agencies.

I'm not sure that's how you'd define yourselves.
Then again with TFG being such a drooling racist, a out, loud & proud black woman might have drawn special attention.

"Women should be seen and not heard." Mean men say.
Don't take things literally. Next time I'll put the /S on it. Women are being downsized all over the world, this is just one more instance of it.

The 'I don't remember writing them' excuse just doesn't hold water

I don't get to watch it, but listen on Sirius while I am driving home.
