Longtime MSNBC host Rachel Maddow sounded off during a Monday night broadcast of “The Rachel Maddow Show” on the network’s major line-up changes, which saw the exit of anchor Joy Reid.

“Joy Reid’s show, ‘The ReidOut,’ ended tonight. And Joy is not taking a different job in the network. She is leaving the network altogether and that is very, very, very hard to take,” Maddow said. “I am 51 years old. I have been gainfully employed since I was 12. I have had so many different types of jobs you wouldn’t believe me if I told you. But in all the jobs that I have had, in all of the years I have been alive, there is no colleague for whom I’ve had more affection and more respect than Joy Reid. I love everything about her. I’ve learned so much from her. I have so much more to learn from her. I do not want to lose her as a colleague here at MSNBC, and personally, I think it is a bad mistake to let her walk out the door.”
 

It appears that the cancellation of The Katie Phang Show on MSNBC was news even to the anchor herself.

In a statement posted to X after the network’s massive shake-up, Phang said she was shocked to learn that her eponymous show was being taken off the air.

“I was stunned to hear this morning that The Katie Phang Show is being canceled,” she said in the statement, which she described a “personal note.”
 




Don Lemon to Megyn Kelly over Joy Reid remarks: ‘Go f‑‑‑ yourself’​


Former CNN anchor Don Lemon issued an expletive-filled rebuke of Megyn Kelly after the ex-Fox News anchor celebrated the end of Joy Reid’s MSNBC show.

On his YouTube show Monday, Lemon said Kelly was the worst person on television and called her a racist.

“Let me just say to Megan Kelly, on my 30-some years as a journalist and my 50-some years as a person of color: Go f‑‑‑ yourself,” Lemon said, a reference to Kelly’s remarks toward MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski after the two visited President Trump at Mar-a-Lago shortly after his November victory.

So, I guess they don't care about the optics. Don't the people in charge know that, the fake news station has a lock on the conservative white demographic and they can't compete with it?
MSNBC ratings are about to get worse!
