Conservatives say 'good riddance' to Joy Reid's MSNBC show as liberals slam network shake-up
Fox News ^ | 2/23/25 | Hanna Panreck

Conservative commentators said "good riddance" to Joy Reid's show "The Reidout" on Sunday after the network announced that they had canceled the far-left host's nightly program, as liberals criticized the network's decision.

Critics pointed to some viral clips of Reid, who has made headlines for her attacks against Trump supporters and on the president himself.

MSNBC canceled her show as part of a major shake-up at the network.

Reid’s 7 p.m. ET program will be replaced by a show featuring Symone Sanders-Townsend, a former spokesperson to Vice President Kamala Harris, Alicia Menendez and RNC Chair turned MSNBC host Michael Steele, according to a source familiar with the plans.

Former FCC chairman Ajit Pai quipped, "An unfortunate development for Joy Reid's viewer, considering the host's insightful analysis on political topics." Pai included a clip of Reid praising former Vice President Kamala Harris' "flawlessly run campaign," despite losing to Trump.

Actor Michael Rapaport also reacted to the news, with the hashtag, #joyless.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., shared the news on X, saying, "The ad execs and the board finally figured out that racism, lies, and Trump derangement syndrome will put them out of business."

Maybe she will change her name from Joy Reid, to Sad Reid. She did bring much of the criticism upon herself. She could have been more moderate in her response and make at least a feeble attempt to appear to be neutral.

She’ll be even worse now on her YouTube podcast with 12 subscribers and 3 views.

Symone and Steele are just as obnoxious.

I bet Michael Steele is supposed to be the token Republican, so MSNBC can claim to be fair and balanced.

Now the far-left media is thrilled because the openai ceo sam altman announced that his husband had a baby boy, or however the extreme far-left Democrat LGBTQPIAKABCXYZ++ crowd operates. Great, another child born into the world intentionally given the disadvantage of lacking a mother. Surely, the women’s libbers love that: Don’t need mothers, don’t need women, thanks for playing, women’s libbers.

If you don’t have solid viewership numbers. You don’t have a viable product that produces revenue. It’s not hard. US AID is no longer giving you checks. I wonder why Rogan, Carlson and Jones keep rolling out quality contact to viewers. God forbid they all are making cash. (Not a Jones fan, yet he gets it done.)

Her racism, vile personality, and bizarre appearance were why they hired her to begin with.

She has got to be one of the most racist bigoted POS’s, that has ever infected the airwaves.

She is so despicable that simply mentioning her name gets me irritated

I didn’t know that MSNBC was still on. Great news as they can now advertise themselves as “the no joy network.”
