Joy Reid’s evening news show on MSNBC is reportedly being canceled in a major shake-up; Wagner, Capehart, Mohyeldin, Phang also out!

[3rdWorld]

She’s one of the few anchors I enjoyed watching on MSNBC. In hindsight though, there were signs. Wish I could remember the segment (I’m sure there’s more than one) but she basically called out MSNBC for their coverage of Trump in the 2024 election and maybe Comcast as well. She also doesn’t beat around the bush or do the pro-Israeli apologist routine like most of the rest of the anchors do.


Even the anchors I like (Ayman, Hayes) get put into late timeslots. And as I was writing this post I find out they get rid of Ayman…They stuffed him into a bullshyt time slot but he always called out the hypocrisy of the Democrats and the pro-Israel crowd anyways. I was surprised a few times that they let some of his segments air on MSNBC.

Should’ve gotten rid of that baboon Nicole Wallace and Ari Melber instead of Reid and Ayman.

You see the Koon brigade in here in full effect celebrating her job loss..

Didn't hold anything back.

Just like the Democratics.....Start talking about Black people then add every other race/minority/gender to piggyback lol

 

[African Peasant]

Black tears don't draw sympathy

That's because she's bringing in ratings and money, which is the only thing that matters at the end of the day.

If you're going to talk your shyt and go that route, then you better have the numbers to back it up.

Like @Tribal Outkast said, trending on social media and sound bites mean nothing if people aren't actually watching the show.

Yep, that's the bottom line for these corporations. If Reid's show was doing big ratings wise, her show wouldn't have been canceled. MSNBC is basically Maddow's like it was for Keith Olbermann during the Bush era.

Lester HoIt is stepping down as anchor of 'NBC Nightly News' after a decade​

Lester **** in studio in New York in 2018.

Lester ****, the anchor and managing editor of “NBC Nightly News” for a decade, announced Monday that he is stepping down from the long-running broadcast at the beginning of the summer.

**** will continue to be a fixture at the network with a full-time role at “Dateline,” where he has been the principal anchor for almost 15 years, according to a memo shared with network staff Monday.

NBC News did not immediately name ****’s successor.

**** was named anchor of “Nightly News” in June 2015 after steering weekend editions of the news broadcast for eight years and co-anchoring “Weekend TODAY” for 12 years. He has served as principal anchor of “Dateline” since September 2011.

“A smile comes to my face when I think that with Nightly News, and Dateline, I have now anchored two of the most successful and iconic television news programs in broadcast history,” **** wrote in a note Monday to “Nightly” and “Dateline” staffers. “As a 20-year-old radio reporter on the police beat chasing breaking news around San Francisco, I could never have imagined my career path would unfold in the way it has. What an amazing ride.”

In his 10 years at the helm of “Nightly News,” **** covered the defining events of the era, including the political rise of President Donald Trump, the Covid pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Oct. 7, 2023, attack in Israel and the war in Gaza.

In recent months, **** co-anchored the network’s coverage of election night, traveled to Iran for an exclusive interview with President Masoud Pezeshkian and helmed a “Dateline” special about the devastating 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.

****’s interviews with world leaders regularly made headlines and set the news agenda. He spoke one-on-one with Trump, former President Joe Biden, former Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Barack Obama, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other key figures.

**** frequently traveled to areas hit by deadly hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires and mass shootings.

“He has led the network during some of the country’s most fraught and challenging times in the past decade,” Janelle Rodriguez, executive vice president of programming for NBC News, wrote in a message to staff. “Quite simply, Lester is the beating heart of this news organization.”

He has been named the “most-trusted television news personality in America” two consecutive times, according to polls from The Hollywood Reporter and Morning Consult. “Nightly News” is consistently a top television show each week, averaging around 7 million viewers.

**** also anchors “Nightly News: Kids Edition,” an Emmy-nominated digital newscast geared toward informing and educating children.

****, who joined NBC News in 2000, took the helm of "Nightly News" from veteran broadcaster Brian Williams, who exited the show after drawing intense criticism for embellishing the details of a helicopter attack in Iraq. **** was named permanent anchor of the flagship program on June 18, 2015.

**** arrived at the network after more than a decade at the WBBM-TV station in Chicago, where he served as the afternoon and evening news anchor. He started his television journalism career as a reporter at WCBS-TV in New York in 1981. The following year, **** moved to Los Angeles to report for KCBS-TV (then known as KNXT) before heading back to WCBS in 1984.

He has received various industry honors, including Emmy Awards and, in 2019, the esteemed Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism.

Damn! He was very good in that gig.

 

[richaveli83]

Why doesn't bet and TV one scoop these black anchors up and make a news program and stop showing Martin and these reruns every damn hour

BET doesn't give a damn about educating people. Been like that for decades.

These shows are dying. People just hate Joy because they’re told to hate her based on chopped up clips on Twitter/X. Well guess what happens when it’s time to try to save money? You cut salaries of people who aren’t bringing in the numbers. I haven’t seen so much press on Joy Reid. It’ll be interesting to see what she does out of this.

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

Didn't hold anything back.

Good for her ..I didn’t like Joy’s show or Alex Wangs show but it’s good to see Maddow standing up for em


Maddow can do that because she knows she’s bulletproof there.

 

[Big Boss]

People gotta stop jumping out the window for a political party.

Cause you look crazy riding for people who could care less about you.

I wouldn't have cried on camera

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

Yes.

They’re all ass.


Ain’t no way in hell ppl are gonna front like Johnathan Capehart show was good .


The only NBC shyt that I think is a bad decision so far is Lester **** stepping down. Bro was solid .
