Joy Reid and Alex Wagner Axed From MSNBC Lineup in Major Network Shakeup
Variety ^ | February 23, 2025 | Brian Steinberg

Posted on 02/23/2025 5:19:37 AM PST by Twotone

MSNBC‘s evening line-up may soon look quite different from what die-hard viewers have come to expect.

The NBCUniversal-backed cable network is expected to move the trio of Symone Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele to its 7 p.m. weekday slot Tuesday through Friday, according to two people familiar with the matter, and the group on Mondays will lead two hours, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The move will have direct implications for Joy Reid, the anchor who currently fills 7 p.m. She is expected to host her last show on MSNBC this week.

What’s more, Alex Wagner, who has hosted weeknights at 9 p.m. save for a Monday night led by Rachel Maddow, is expected to be named a contributor, according to three people with knowledge of current talks. Wagner, who has been working as a correspondent across the U.S. during the first 100 days of the new Trump presidency while Rachel Maddow anchors each day at 9, is unlikely to return to her weeknight slot, these people indicated. Jen Psaki is expected to take over at least one of the hours, according to one of these people. MSNBC is also in talks with Eugene Daniels of Politico and Melissa Murray, a law professor at New York University who specializes in the regulation of sex, marriage, caregiving and reproductive rights that would have them join the network in unspecified capacities, according to one of these people.

People are real tired of immature, rabid broadcast personalities-passing themselves off as journalists

Al Sharpton probably has a Diddy Freak Off tape or two in his possession .

Remember, Jamie Foxx was Diddy’s camera man at the Freak Off rape fests. . Sharpton probably got a hold of a tape.

Joy was so entertaining to watch.
A real garbage fire. We’ll miss that. How could anyone be so stupid, a good example for our kids of what they don’t want to grow up to be like.

Clearly, MSNBC is a racist and misogynist organization, and the four people still watching the channel should boycott.

Steele is a bigger Yeti than Reid! He isn’t going to help their ratings any.

She had the gall to say over and over, “Kamala Harris ran a FLAWLESS campaign.”
