From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.

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.

Same for @joyannreid.bsky.social and Alex Wagner.
Wherever they resurface - I'm already a multi-SubStack subscriber - I will be there.
We all will be there.
Boo fucking hoo and the only thing funny about Reid is how she can't walk past a lamp-post without saying "race". Fuck you.
The Leek sounds funny to me because you could just have interviews with all the leakers in Washington.
A new academic study will illuminate this point 20 years from now.
(While I think she's a great person, admittedly I haven't watched any shareholder driven media since November, including MSNBC)
I love Maddow, I enjoyed watching Joy too.
They should get rid of Morning Joe not Joy.
Is every company bowing to this malignant White House OR doing what they CHOOSE?🤔🤔
I DID chuckle about that because that’s an OG move right there! I’m here but not down with your 💩 !
Independent media is where it's at now.
Miedas Touch offered her a job. I think she will be independent and successfully get millions of viewers.
They are doing this job for money and status, not for the betterment of society.
MSNBC is owned by conservatives, they would not employ someone who genuinely spoke truth to power in a way that brought real accountability and justice.
It is time for genuinely principled people to show their principle. Maddow should quit. Immediately.
If you disagree, then you are complicit. And you disgust me. Period.

I will NOT miss Ayman as his show became Al jezeera with constant often fake crap against Israel. It was gross.
Ratings don't care about color, or niceness, or smartness.
Fuck this whole government. Do. Not. Comply.
Am I the only one who dislikes Jen Psaki?
I recall Capehart show being 2 hours both Sat & Sun but I could be wrong. I am thinking Katie's show was also 2 hours, but could be wrong there too.
Is it really just ratings???
To both of them, if that happens ,you can join Meidas Touch .
You both and Joy will be welcomed with open arms .
@joyannreid.bsky.social & @katiephang.bsky.social ROCK 4EVA!
I'm tired of seeing people with the ability to force change with leverage just choose not to while saying it should be done in other instances
I can't get over that, and honestly I'll never watch her.
lets get Air America back on the Air ...
(short wave, VHF, pod-cast, new web presence)
picked out the first six talents I'd like to see
Rachel Maddow as well if MSNBC gets ... adventurous 😎
btw - Ayman is bottom middle
all online !

Rachael especially, I love her.
"The place for in-depth analysis, political commentary and diverse perspectives to #UnderstandMore."
Such Bullshit.
#MSNBC #NBC #MSNBCisSpineless #MSNBCisWhite
I think that’s ppl need to understand.
and i doubt Rachel offered up her 25 million to save her *dear friend* either lol.
Rachel saved her job back in the day when Joy was exposed as a homophobe, anti-Semite, etc but not this time. just terrible ratings. embarrassing content.
Secular talk
The majority report
That's where I get most of my news. I have yet to see anything they report be factually wrong, if they misreport they correct it
