Legal Insurrection “They’ve only had four women of color host their own shows. They’ve now fired them ALL.”
"Now that Joy Reid has been finally let go by MSNBC, some of her network colleagues and fellow travelers on the far left are reacting the only way that they seem to know how: by crying racism.
"Even Rachel Maddow, who still works for MSNBC, and Keith Olbermann, who used to work for MSNBC, are making this claim. It simply can’t be because of Reid’s horrible ratings. It has to be because of some greater failure of social justice on the part of the network that pays Maddow millions of dollars a year.
"Maddow commented on Reid’s firing during her show.
"From FOX News:
“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, there is no colleague for whom I have had more affection and more respect than Joy Reid,” Maddow said.
“I love everything about her. I have learned so much from her. I have so much more to learn from her,” she continued. “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 is not my call, and I understand that, but that’s what I think.”
Maddow went on to call it “unnerving” for the network to cancel the shows of “two non-White hosts”
in its weekday programming as well as “The Katie Phang Show” on the weekends, noting that “The Alex Wagner Show” will no longer fill in Maddow’s 9 p.m. ET timeslot for the remainder of the week, which is instead going to “Inside with Jen Psaki.” . . .
Don Surber: MSNBC suddenly is racist . . ."Now liberals reap what they sowed. MSNBC dared to fire her and now the network is stuck with the R-word. No, not that one; the other one. No, not that one either or that other one. The word is RACIST.
"Reid’s staff of about 30 flunkies also were canned. And Media-ite reported, “Most of Maddow’s Staff To Be Let Go Amid MSNBC Cuts: Report.”
"Not that I really care, Mister Wilson."
