MSNBC's $25 million liberal icon Rachel Maddow torched new president Rebecca Kutler and the network brass Monday after they canceled Joy Reid's show.
The anchor appeared on the last episode of The ReidOut earlier in the evening, where she declared herself 'bereft' that Reid had been fired but didn't initially criticize the network.
When Maddow - who was rumored to have taken a pay cut when signing her new contract at MSNBC - took to the airwaves later on, it was no-holds barred, with Maddow slamming the network for firing Reid and a slew of other 'non-white' anchors.
'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 said.
She added: 'I will tell you. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two – count them – two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. And that feels worse than bad, no matter who replaces them. That feels indefensible. And I do not defend it.'
Phang, Jonathan Capehart and Ayman Mohyeldin have also been given the boot from their current timeslots by ruthless new boss Kutler.
Maddow did praise whomever would replace Reid, which is reported to be Alicia Menendez, Symone Sanders Townsend and Michael Steele in the interim.
'Everybody who's going to be in anchor chairs from here on out are great colleagues and great at what they do. And you are not going to be disappointed in who's on our air and what you're going to be seeing,' she said.

LOL....these people need to learn to code.
Of course. Her work is way overvalued. If she gets axed that is instantly better financials for the people who think they can save the tarnished brand. Frankly, there are enough “news” outlets. MSNBC should die.
She could probably make more if she didn’t show up for work in solidarity with government workers.
Kutler - good name. Hope she kuts Madcow.
She just suggested that her boss is racist against non-whites. Well, now he / she has no choice but to prove that’s not true. Rachel MadCow will be gone by weeks end. Thanks Rachel.
Fire that LESBIAN !
So... in her openly racist view... non-whites should never be fired. Got it.
I don't like her, but I think she did solid work in the Harry Potter films.
Keep in mind NBC is decoupling from MSDNC so they will have to fend for themselves. This was probably a salary dump.
To their credit, I was never spat upon, which would have ended badly for them.
Rachel will find out soon enough that she is merely an employee at MSNBC, albeit an extremely overpaid employee. Her wokeness, inculcated over decades, will run headlong into economic reality. She won’t know what hit her.
If this becomes a trend I'd say, yes....
"more, more, more...how do you like it..."
Getting rid of Reid does move Maddow up on the stupidest person on MSNBC list. Maybe that’s why she’s complaining.
“Rachel Maddow throws down gauntlet with blistering rant”
WINNING!
Change is the new normal in the corporate world. The left-leaning networks are just about out of blood to bleed, and Maddow is probably day to day.
Sure, but then vanity hit and she had the distinctive scar removed.
