Joy Reid is about to make history as cable’s first black female prime-time anchor.

Back in March, Page Six first reported that Reid was on a short list — along with Shep Smith and Steve Kornacki — to take over the slot occupied by Chris Matthews until his abrupt exit from MSNBC.

Now we’re told that the deal is all but done for Reid to assume the 7 p.m. hour.

I give her about two months. MSNBC will regret this as they will not be able to replace her without the now stereotypical charges of racism.

If she is given the spot, MSDNC will be begging Matthews to come back
after Reid’s first rating’s come out.

Maddow at least has some talent and intelligence. Reid is a very silly and stupid woman.

They can appoint anyone they want, but they can’t make leftoids want to watch.

Welp. At least we know, exactly as it was with obama, the most important qualification is skin color.

Why don’t they call them “news readers” as they do in Europe. That is what they do. They read news as written on a teleprompter and get paid 10x what they are worth.
