Now-former MSNBC host Joy Reid’s last episode of “The ReidOut” aired on Monday evening, but before that, soon after the host learned she’d been canceled and canned, she had a rather amusing on-camera meltdown, with full waterworks. I don’t know about anyone else, but I think we should all go out for a drink and celebrate.
On Sunday, Reid popped on an episode of “Win With Black Women,” which is a popular podcast, where she discussed the news of her firing before ultimately doubling down on the highly controversial positions she’s taken over the years that likely contributed to her downfall.
“I’ve been through every emotion from, you know, anger, rage, disappointment, hurt, you know, a feeling that, you know, guilt. You know, that I let my team lose their jobs,” Reid said during the interview. “But in the end, where I really land and where I’ve landed on today is just gratitude. Just pure gratitude and gratitude — not just because people would take the time to get on a call like this or to take care of me, but also that my show had value and that — I’m sorry — that what I was doing had value.”
The former talking head for MSNBC then issued an apology for springing a leak on camera, going on to say that sometimes her instinct was to feel guilty for going hard on issues she felt were important.
“Whether it was the Black Lives Matter issues of a young baby or a mom or dad that was killed, or when we opened up people’s eyes to the fact that Asian Americans were being targeted and not just black folks,” she elaborated on the program. “That – or went hard for immigrants who’ve done nothing but come to this country like my parents did and try to make a life and defended them.”
“Or whether we’ve talked about what the president is doing that is subversive to the Constitution, that is injurious to our liberty, you know, defending books that people find inconvenient, you know, that Nikole Hannah-Jones put into our spirit that we need to understand 1619 as the real founding of this country,” Reid’s ramble continued.
“Whether it’s talking about any of these issues and, yes, whether it’s talking about Gaza and the fact that we as the American people have a right to object, to have a right to object to little babies being bombed,” the now unemployed Reid said.
Notice that she failed to mention anything about the Israeli children who were murdered in cold blood on October 7th or in the months since that vicious, horrific attack took place.
“And where I come down on that is, I’m not sorry. I am not sorry that I stood up for those things because those things are of God,” she said defiantly.
The reason Reid was fired was due to the fact that people no longer trust the mainstream media networks. This past year was a great awakening for many, many Americans. Propagandists in the news have been exposed. Trump won in a landslide and that was a dropping of the hammer on legacy news outlets.
Since then viewership has tanked and with it went advertising dollars. MSNBC can no longer afford all of its talking heads and anchors. Reid’s show obviously wasn’t worth keeping around, so they let her go.
Guess what she did had no value after all.
