MSNBC is pulling the plug on Joy Reid’s show, “The ReidOut,” as part of a major shakeup, Fox News Digital has learned—and I can’t stop laughing. Honestly, there’s no one more deserving of cancellation. Well, maybe Rachel Maddow… and pretty much everyone else at MSNBC. According to the report, “The ReidOut” has been struggling to hold viewers, averaging just 973,000 in February 2025—a sharp 28% drop from the 1.3 million it pulled in during the same month last year. Reid has become notorious for her relentless anti-Trump rhetoric and a string of controversial moments. After the November election, Reid claimed...

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...

MSNBC host Joy Reid’s show has been canceled as part of a major overhaul by the network’s new president Rebecca Kutler, according to a report. The 7 p.m. program hosted by Reid, 56, will be replaced by a new panel show featuring co-hosts Alicia Menendez, Michael Steele, and Symone Sanders Townsend, the New York Times reported Sunday. A final episode of Reid’s show, “The ReidOut,” will air sometime this week, bringing to an end a mainstay of MSNBC’s lineup for the past five years, as per the NYT’s report.

A trio of MSNBC programs hit all-time viewership lows last week as the network continues to struggle on the heels of President-elect Donald Trump’s Election Day victory. "Alex Wagner Tonight," "Inside with Jen Psaki" and "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell" all hit rock bottom last week despite a busy news cycle that included the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the ensuing manhunt for his killer, a slew of news related to Trump’s Cabinet picks, the fallout from President Biden announcing he would pardon his son, Hunter, and Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad being ousted from power. "Alex Wagner...

The day after the election, an NBC News chart circulated on Instagram highlighting exit poll data showing that, roughly, the more education you had, the more likely you were to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris over President-elect Donald Trump. Some liberals used the occasion to look down upon the icky dummies who were too stupid to know they shouldn’t vote for Trump. Yet Trump’s victory was both definitive and diverse. He won broad swaths of the electorate, making significant gains in New York and California and winning over larger percentages of Latino voters and young voters than in 2020....

Black supporters of Donald Trump in Philadelphia shared their reasons for opposing Vice President Kamala Harris with MSNBC in a special election episode of Alex Wagner Tonight. Wagner spoke with members of the Black Republican Club of Philadelphia in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania. Members offered a myriad of reasons for supporting Trump over Harris that ultimately boiled down to her record and qualifications. “She’s a woman of color. I’m not putting her down because of that, and I’m not putting her down because she’s a woman,” Crystal Canty told Wagner. “I’m not a feminist so I’m sorry, but...

MSNBC host Alex Wagner was left in shock after speaking to a group of black women in Philadelphia who told her they were voting for former president Donald Trump, not Kamala Harris. Harris has failed to lock up the black women in Philadelphia thus far. In the video, the ladies said that their reason for voting for Trump had nothing to do with race or sex but rather distrust of Harris. They also said the fact that Harris has been vice president for the last three and a half years has proven she is unable to fix the problems she...

Ta-Nehisi appeared on NSNBC - Alex Wagner Tonight, Oct 9, 2024. He tells of his trip to Hebron (which is a hot place with frictions usually after a radical mosque sermon or an Arab terror attack). That a soldier asked him for his religion, when he replied he didn't have one, he asked him about his parents', when he replied that they were Christian, he let him pass. MSNBC's Wagner plays dumb and asks him a leading question, 'did you think this was racist?' He replied, oh yes. Obviously, he didn't want to get what asking about his religion has...

On Wednesday night, former President Donald Trump had hoped to be facing off against Kamala Harris during a 2024 presidential debate hosted by Fox News. But Joe Biden's taciturn vice president was a no-show, much like she's been over the past nearly four years of his administration, instead of doing the job she was hired to by the American people.

JD Vance had a surprisingly awkward time ordering two dozen donuts and chatting with the workers at a local shop, not only illustrating his basic weirdness but standing in cringey contrast to the naturally friendly Tim Walz at a Runza in Nebraska. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is evidently distressed by the surge in support for Kamala Harris and appears to be wearing out his welcome even on Fox.

NEW YORK (AP) — MSNBC on Monday solidified its prime-time lineup by appointing Alex Wagner to fill Rachel Maddow's time slot four nights a week, Tuesday through Friday. Wagner, who has worked at CBS News, as a co-host of Showtime's “The Circus” and as an editor at The Atlantic, is on her second stint at MSNBC. She rejoined MSNBC in February after hosting a show on the network a decade ago. Maddow will continue to work in her 9 p.m. Eastern time slot on Monday nights, MSNBC said. It's an important move for the liberal-leaning news network and its president,...

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) questioning of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson was “awkward.” Guest-host Alex Wagner said, “Claire, what of the drama starring Lindsey Graham, written by Lindsey Graham, lighting and costumes by Lindsey Graham? Lindsey Graham brought the fireworks, the drama, this afternoon when he took his moment to question Judge Jackson to unleash a litany of complaints about how conservatives have been mistreated in hearings and otherwise more broadly in society and stormed out of the hearing. What did you make of that performance

Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “All In” that the upcoming vote in Congress to sanction Russia for their invasion into Ukrainian territory will expose if Republican lawmakers are “appeasers” of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Guest-host Alex Wagner said, “President Trump’s comments today calling Putin’s moves genius probably haven’t helped anything. You are really convinced that next week when you guys are back in session, Republicans are going to play ball with Democrats and effectively work to further the Biden foreign policy agenda, the national security agenda?”

The Evening Campaign Update Gee, I wonder what tipped them off? – I kid you not, this is an actual, real tweet put out by New York Magazine today: New York Magazine ✔ @NYMag Joe Biden is at his best when he’s neither speaking nor appearing in public. Will his campaign have to abandon its most effective strategy? @zakcheneyrice writes https://nym.ag/2YnBChC Tara Reade Is Making It Harder to Hide Joe Biden That doesn’t mean his campaign will abandon its most effective strategy. You know what that “most effective strategy” the author is talking about happens to be? HIDIN’ BIDEN! I...

And now, a word from Joe Biden’s basement. – Some would call this ‘mixed messaging.’ Others would call it vacant eyes and an inability to form words into coherent sentences. But the Democrat Party wants you to believe it’s all just totally normal. Trump War Room - Text TRUMP to 88022 ✔ @TrumpWarRoom Joe Biden: “We cannot let this, we’ve never allowed any crisis from the Civil War straight through to the pandemic of 17, all the way around, 16, we have never, never let our democracy sakes second fiddle, way they, we can both have a democracy and ......

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) The Creepy Plagiarist strikes again. Joe Biden’s biggest problem…well, ok, his biggest problem is that he can’t keep his hands off of women and children in inappropriate ways…Joe Biden’s second biggest problem is that his mind has always been an empty vessel waiting to be filled by the ideas of others. The simple fact of the matter is that Joe Biden has precious few original thoughts, and the few he does have invariably end up blurting out of his gaping mouth at inconvenient moments. Like the time he said that all 7/11...

Alex Wagner of Showtime’s “The Circus” has released an op-ed urging Democrats to view former Vice President Joseph R. Biden as a “vessel” and an “idea” if they want President Trump defeated at the ballot box. The writer penned “Stay Alive, Joe Biden” for The Atlantic this week, which serves as a blueprint for realizing a Democrat as the 46th commander in chief.

Two days before the South Carolina primary that would reverse his political fortunes and redirect the course of the Democratic nomination, Joe Biden’s campaign for president announced a hastily planned event in McClellanville, South Carolina. The national campaign press was alerted that Biden would enter full battle mode at this stop, that the proverbial gloves were about to come off ahead of the kill-or-be-killed primary on Saturday, and no one would want to miss this one.
