MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said Monday on “The Rachel Maddow Show” that her network made a “bad mistake” firing host Joy Reid.
Maddow said, “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. I am 51 years old. I have been gainfully employed since I was 12 and I have had so many different kinds of jobs, you wouldn’t believe me if I told you. But in all of the jobs I have had in all of the years I have been alive,

Watching these meltdowns is actually rather enjoyable. Still, the fact that all these “educated” people with degrees from fancy universities have allowed themselves to go so far left they don’t even know the way back is frightening.

Hopefully, Maddow is next. MSNBC needs a full exorcism.

Always a good idea to attack your boss on national TV. How would you like to LOSE that 25 million a year? No one else wants a terrorist as an employee rachel the extremist toxic feminist. You just keep on talking fool. You are the gift that keeps on giving. Hope you are off air today and forever.

Better watch out Rachel - you just might be next. Twenty five million bucks for one program a week is outrageous for a company that is on the skids. At best, you might be required to do five shows a week or take another pay cut.

She conveniently leaves out that TV ratings for PMSNBC have plunged since election day. A good chunk of the audience realized that PMSNBC has been spreading toxic waste through the airwaves, and turned it off.

Perhaps Ms Maddow would be willing to share some of her multi-million dollar salary with Ms Reid i order to help keep Ms Reid on the air.... 🤔 😜

Well Rach....if you've "learned so much" from Joyless, rest assured that you have learned the wrong things. Unfortunately you choose to be unaware.

Well dear, the network is playing the cards that you, Joyless, and other Leftists have dealt them. YOU are driving away the audience. Joyless' exit show proved she was unrepentant about the way she conducted her shows, even though it was clear that she had lost audience. And guess what, none of these networks are a charity spotlight for you Rachel, or anyone else. You are there to reach an audience, not sell your personal take on things. If the audience likes what you say, all is good. But when they DO NOT, either you pivot to meet them OR you GO. A professional knows this. Maybe a professional walks away because they know they can't meet the needs of the network and the audience.
But they don't lecture or whine or double down on what doesn't work any more.
Of course there is also the inconvenient fact that people like Joyless and you lie and distort facts, which you managed to get away with for a long time because the people you speak to desperately wanted to hear something that resonated, even it it was a lie. But now they have lost, big time, and they are starting to question things, a LOT. HOW was Biden left as President when blatantly senile. How was the wonderful Kamala found to be so clueless? Is all was well with the world, HOW was that so completely repudiated in the election and now as Trump implements his agenda.
So NO, Rachel, you don't get to have the world as you try to distort it and you have to earn an audience, not demand one, and you need to generate the money needed to pay your ridiculous salary. Your (and so many of your colleagues) attitude is arrogant beyond belief, as if YOU are a shadow government to lead the Country. No one asked and no one appointed you to that.
You can say what you want but no one needs to listen to you and your network doesn't need to put you on the air. No one needs to value what you do. You provide a service. If I went to a restaurant and ordered a steak and was served up liver, I wouldn't go back. People no longer like what you are cooking, no matter how much you like cooking it. Change up the menu or look for the door.

Rachel,
If you’re going to miss Joy so much then may I suggest that you go with her.

While it may have been the color of her skin that got Reid her job, it is the content of her character that got her fired. MLK would approve.

One sexual DEI employee defending a skin color DEI employee is not my idea of a good argument. If there were ever two people not qualified it's these two. msnbc certainly has a need to simply check boxes. The hell with qualifications, common sense and real talent. I am not against opposite thinking. But when the only argument you have is hateful rhetoric there is nothing to listen to. If I want to be abused I will go downtown to the bus station and stand outside the men's bathroom dressed as a prostitute.

Here's an idea. Why don't you quit and the two of you start your own business? You have the money. See how that goes..get advertising, pay bills, hire and fire employees.

What a conundrum for Dims! Their favorite network is racist because it fired a black wo-man. Who was herseff a racist. But if she was th' only racist at MSNBC, does that mean that MSNBC isn't racist any more? In other words, if you used to watch MSNBC you were a racist, but if you watch it now you aren't a racist. Are you are racist if you fire a racist?

It plainly boggles the mind that Ms. Maddow provides $25 million worth of service to her network per year.

We can only hope and pray that Rachel is the next to go. Even if we don't watch her, it is a shame that she is allowed to voice her toxic opinions where anyone might hear them.

Question for Maddow. Suppose I'm a boss and I have an employee is underperforming. The employee is female and an ethnic minority.
Could you tell me the manner in which I can fire that employee without drawing an accusation of racism or sexism?
Because I have to tell you, if the first thought in your head is, "I do not want there to be a way to do that", then we've got a pretty serious problem, don't we?

PMSNBC's mistake is that they did not clean out MadCow's stall when they were shoveling out the other ones.
