[napi21]

expired a month ago and she's been working without one. I'm so sad. SI honestly thought she would get her own show! Also just found THIS online:

January 30, 2017: There’s a seismic SHIFT in MSNBC – it can no longer be seen as the trusted source of news for African-American folk anymore.
The top brass at the network have either FIRED or DEMOTED all the top African-American news anchors – and replaced them with FOX News “ALTERNATIVE FACTS” Republican reporters.

Last week, the network announced that it was ending Tamron and Al’s highly rated Today Show extension – and replacing it with Megyn Kelly – from FOX News. Megyn has been known for using “Alternative Facts” in her reporting, especially with regards to African Americans and Latinos.

Now Page Six claims that they are firing Joy Reid, to make room for new correspondent Greta Van Susteren – another Fox News “alternative facts” Republican reporter.

1. Yeah, I think you can forget about the media from here on in.

They will bow to capitalism and Trump eventually.

[TrekLuver]

2. But Greta has a daily show...why would they need to fire Joy?

[TeamPooka]

3. Joy leaves and I will never watch that channel again. Enough is enough

even if they keep Hayes, Maddow and O'Donnell.
I'd be done completely if they get rid of Joy.

[happy feet]

19. Agreed

I'm with you. DONE. FINIT

[PearliePoo2]

4. Oh fuck...I set the alarm every Sat. and Sunday morning to watch her show!

Please let this be bullshit and not true.

[napi21]

11. So do I! I really enjoy her no BS way of interviewing. Nobody else I can think of does that! nt

[Dem2]

5. spammy whammy site

I'll wait for more facts before playing this game...

[napi21]

14. Arre these more to your liking?

18. The Daily Caller? Really?

As to the other 'source':

“They haven’t renewed her contract. She’s been working without a contract for at least a month,” an insider told us.

An MSNBC spokesperson, however, insisted that Reid “is working under contract. And the network wants her to stay.”

Not to say that it couldn't happen, but sources are important.

[Dem2]

21. not really

I'll wait, thanks - it's mostly speculation anyway.

[ecstatic]

6. That would be a foolish move. CNN, this is an awesome opportunity

Carve 30 minutes out of both Anderson Cooper & Don Lemon's snooze fest, and that's an hour show for one of the most prepared journalists on TV.

[bigtree]

7. that would be an outrage

...she's one of the smartest, most genuine journalists on television.

She's already at the back of the line on weekends.

How many black journalists with their own show, right now?

[Beaverhausen]

8. She is the best thing to ever happen to MSNBC

Smart, quick, insightful, knowledgeable and eminently watchable. WTF is their problem???

[renate]

9. leaning to the right would be profoundly stupid of MSNBC

Republicans are becoming less and less popular by the day, literally. By the hour.

Why on earth would MSNBC deliberately pass on a chance to be a source of news for people who are engaged and interested in progressive and liberal news? That would be so DUMB.

[eleny]

10. I beleive that Joy and Lawrence's days are numbered and that they are prepared

MSNBC is afflicted with right wing cancer.

[Sneederbunk]

12. Remember what happened to Phil Donahue

[Paladin]

13. Oh, yeah! Three cheers for the "Liberal Media"!

MSNBC isn't worth your time anymore.

[KewlKat]

15. we rarely miss Joy. if they let her go then where will

we find trust worthy news? If she goes, so do we.

23. +1

[demmiblue]

16. Do you have a better source for this?

I went to the home page and this was the first story:

SHOCK CLAIM: Zendaya Just BLASTED Ex-Boyfriend Odell Beckham Jr. . . .Says She ‘DUMPED HIM’ . . . Because She ‘FOUND OUT HE’S GAY’!!!

[Yavin4]

17. MSNBC loves access to power more than anything else.

That's why Joe S. is so beloved. He can get Republican power brokers on his show and get inside information from them if he treats them nicely which he does. Greta can get Republicans as well.

[uponit7771]

24. +1

[Justice]

20. I read she was offered a short term contract but did not sign it. Really wish

That they would move O'Donnell out of 10 pm - would love to see Twitty moved out and frankly Chris Hayes is just not my favorite - more light weight that Maddow and O'Donnell.

Could see O'Donnell, Reid and Maddow with 10 pm going to whomever.

[KittyWampus]

22. Reid is on over the weekends. No conflict w/new hires.
