MSNBC bloodbath hits Rachel Maddow staffers in major overhaul that has claimed Joy Reid, Alex Wagner shows

MSNBC has reportedly informed a majority of staffers who work on Rachel Maddow’s prime time opinion show that they are being let go as part of the network’s restructuring that resulted in the cancellation of Joy Reid’s program as well as those of other hosts.

The Comcast-owned, left-leaning channel told Maddow staffers they have the option of reapplying for new roles at the network or accepting a severance payout, according to the news site Guardian.

Maddow, MSNBC’s most prominent anchor and top-rated host, will retain her executive producer, Cory Gnazzo, along with several senior producers, the Guardian reported.

However, the rest of her team, along with producers from other recently canceled shows — including those hosted by Alex Wagner, Katie Phang, Jonathan Capehart, Ayman Mohyeldin and José Díaz-Balart — will need to find new jobs either within the network or at a different company, according to the report.

“Maddow, MSNBC’s most prominent anchor”

Kinda like being the best toilet scrubber. No matter how good you are it’s still a shitty job.

MSNBC cut all the minorities and kept the white anchors like Maddow.

Only CNN is more deserving of cutbacks. With viewership cratering, hopefully both MSNBC and CNN disappear from the airwaves. It’s only fitting that the race-baiter Reid fade into oblivion where she belongs.

I hope they don’t go away. It’s my third favorite satire site, behind The Onion and Babylon Bee.

Maddow is going to spend more time in the tanning booth to make up for the losses.

The staffers can apply to jobs at other toxic waste dumps.

She spent yesterday implying her bosses were “racist” for firing Joy Reid.

“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.”

If the place is so racist, Maddow, why are you there?
