MSNBC has officially axed The ReidOut, and predictably, the left is in full meltdown mode. Joy Reid, the network’s 7 p.m. ET host, is out, and naturally, the usual suspects are crying racism. Because when a black liberal gets fired, it obviously has nothing to do with actual job performance, right? It must be some grand conspiracy to silence voices of color.
Or—hear me out—it could be that Joy Reid’s ratings were so low even MSNBC couldn’t justify keeping her around anymore.
Rachel Maddow’s Ridiculous Woke BS
Leading the charge in the left’s latest round of fake outrage is none other than Rachel Maddow. The same Rachel Maddow who has cashed in on endless Trump hysteria is now crying foul over MSNBC’s very logical business decision. Maddow slammed her own network, calling Reid’s firing “a bad mistake” and trying to spin it into some grand racial injustice.
But here’s the kicker—Maddow is crying racism over the firing of arguably the most racist person on television. Joy Reid’s history of inflammatory and outright racist remarks is well documented, from her attacks on white people to her shameless race-baiting tactics. The irony here is so thick you could cut it with a knife. Maddow is out here virtue signaling about racial injustice, all while defending a woman who made a career out of stoking racial division.
Let’s get real—Joy Reid’s firing was about ratings, not racism. If MSNBC truly wanted to purge non-White voices, why are they replacing her with Symone Sanders-Townsend, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez—two black hosts and a Latina? Maddow conveniently leaves that out while she grandstands and clutches her pearls over MSNBC supposedly “silencing” diverse voices.
Maddow Blasting Her Own Network – Fire Her Already
Imagine working for a company, collecting a $25 million paycheck, and then turning around and publicly trashing your own employer for making a sound business decision. In any other workplace, Maddow would be escorted to the door for insubordination. But because she’s the golden child of left-wing propaganda, she gets to run her mouth unchecked.
News flash, Rachel: You work for MSNBC. If you have such a problem with their programming decisions, feel free to pack up and take your conspiracy theories elsewhere. The fact that she’s being allowed to undermine her own network in prime time is mind-boggling. MSNBC should have fired her yesterday.
Follow the Money: It Was Always About Ratings
Reid’s defenders want you to believe she was a victim of corporate America’s evil, racist overlords. But let’s take a quick trip down memory lane, shall we?
Joy Reid’s show never pulled strong ratings. In fact, it consistently underperformed, even in the left-wing echo chamber that is MSNBC. Viewers were tuning out faster than Joe Biden at a press conference. Let’s put it this way: MSNBC gave Reid every chance to prove she could carry a prime-time slot, and she still couldn’t keep up.
For comparison, Fox News hosts routinely trounce MSNBC and CNN in the ratings war, and even other MSNBC hosts managed to do better than Reid. When the numbers don’t add up, no amount of DEI corporate guilt-tripping can keep a failing show on the air.
The Hypocrisy of Liberal Media Elites
It’s rich watching millionaire leftists like Maddow, who reportedly rakes in $25 million a year, weep for the “little people” while sitting on a mountain of cash. If Maddow was really so broken up about the firings, maybe she could take a pay cut and fund Reid’s salary out of her own pocket? Oh wait—that’s not how liberal elites operate.
Instead, they perform faux outrage, scream about injustice, and then cash their checks while their former colleagues pack up their desks.
MSNBC’s Real Problem: No One’s Watching
Reid’s firing isn’t the real story. The bigger issue is that MSNBC is struggling to maintain relevance in a post-Trump era. For years, networks like MSNBC and CNN thrived off 24/7 anti-Trump hysteria. But now, with Trump no longer in office, they’re left scrambling for content.
Even MSNBC’s golden goose, Maddow, had to scale back her show to one night a week because, let’s face it, there’s only so much Trump outrage you can manufacture before it gets stale.
Meanwhile, the real reason networks like Fox News continue to dominate isn’t because of racism, sexism, or whatever new buzzword the left is pushing this week—it’s because people actually want to watch their content. Crazy concept, huh?
Final Thoughts
Joy Reid wasn’t canceled because of racism. She was canceled because she wasn’t good at her job. Plain and simple. The left’s never-ending obsession with making everything about race is exhausting, and frankly, most Americans aren’t buying it anymore.
And let’s not forget Rachel Maddow—who, instead of minding her own business, is trashing her own employer while sitting on a $25 million salary. If MSNBC had any spine, they’d show her the door next.
MSNBC is learning the hard way that no amount of progressive virtue signaling can make up for a sinking ship. Maybe next time, instead of pushing identity politics and radical nonsense, they’ll try focusing on content that people actually want to watch. (Spoiler alert: They won’t.)
