MSNBC says it has decided not to renew a contract with paid contributor Joan Walsh, and the news caused an uproar on social media by some of the network's top talent.

Walsh says on her Twitter account she learned of the New York-based network's decision Friday while baking pies with her daughter. MSNBC hosts Chris Hayes and Joy Reid have tweeted in support of Walsh.

Reid called the network's decision 'short sighted' and added 'Given the momentousness of next year's anniversaries: the women's march, the King and RFK assassinations ... we need to be at full strength as media entities, and Joan belongs in the mix.' While Hayes tweeted Walsh is 'indispensable.'

Within 24 hours, however, the contributor shared she was picked up by CNN. 'I'm thrilled to tell you I'll be heading to @CNN in the new year. Thanks to everyone who made this happen. A Christmas miracle,' she tweeted.

Beloved?

“Can Dems Turn Protests Into Political Power?”

Yes, they can - just not in the way they intend.

[MayflowerMadam]

Never heard of her.

At first I thought it said “JOHN Walsh”, and thought it was a little sad. But JOAN. Never mind.

[newfreep]

Before PMSNBC, she was with Slate, the leftwing communist rag.

Yeah, PROVE you were baking those pies, Joanie! Like the MSM did to Sarah in the WH briefing room.

[polymuser]

Yep, par for the adolescent adult children they are. Everything ‘s great drama, the worst ever whatever, a catastrophe, the end of civilisation as we know it, an uproar.

[Thibodeaux]

she is beyond the expiry date

[jacknhoo]

Neither have I, heard of her.

She looks angry in the image posted above. Hopefully, she was in a better mood while baking pies with her daughter, though.

I imagine we’ll see more angry Marxists in 2018 and 2020.

Trump killed both of them, of course.

[mad_as_he$$]

Video of her making pies or it didn’t happen.

[Lisbon1940]

She came from Salon, and before that In These Times.

YAWNNNNNNNN!

[Oldeconomybuyer]

So this hack is moving from MSNBC to CNN. From one sewer to another sewer.

[ought-six]

Never heard of her.

[xp38]

40 plus years ago.....I remember where I was when I heard the news :)

[Rome2000]

I have no idea who this imbecile is.

[VideoDoctor]

If I LIE I DIE... Honest.. WHO in the hell is Joan Walsh???

I haven't had MSNBC on in ten years and WHO Joan Walsh is a mystery to me.. and I'm sure it'll stay a mystery since I NEVER frequent CNN..

[COUNTrecount]

Blackberry pies???

She;s a racist.

“Walsh says on her Twitter account she learned of the New York-based network’s decision Friday while baking pies with her daughter” Just tears at my heart to hear this. I’m sure she’ll be scarred for life.

No worries, mate! She can seek advice and solace from that renowned counselor & cookie baker, Hillary!

Walsh refuses to seek guidance from White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
