Joy Reid is leaving the prime-time lineup of MSNBC after her historic show
23 february 2025 в 23:13
Joy Reid made history at MSNBC when she became the host of The ReidOut in 2020, airing at 7:00, a timeslot previously held by Hardball for 23 years. However, now the show is being removed from the network’s evening lineup, as reported by multiple sources in February 2025.
With these changes in mind, learn more about her below.
Reid hosted a political morning talk show on MSNBC since May 2016 and often filled in for other network hosts such as Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow. In 2018, her morning show had nearly a million weekly viewers, with dedicated fans on social media calling themselves #reiders. The daughter of immigrants, Reid became known as a vocal critic of President Donald Trump and gained fame for her uncompromising interviews with his supporters.
«Our main task is to constantly remind people that this is not normal and not allow it to become commonplace», - Reid told The New York Times in 2018. «We believe that one of our duties is to keep this story in the spotlight because it is fundamentally a question of whether we truly choose our leaders».
After Trump’s victory in the 2024 elections, she sharply criticized the «right-wing» during Thanksgiving, telling The New York Post: «Make your own dinner, MAGA».
«But if you expect that 73 million who voted for a prosecutor, not a criminal, and especially 92 percent of black women who voted for Kamala, will give you a cookie for your vote, a trophy, a hug, five, you may be asking too much», - she said at the time. «If we want to eat with you, we will. But if we want a little peace during the holidays and don’t want to endure your trolling while we eat our Tofurky, accept it».
Veteran Hardball host Chris Matthews suddenly left the network on air in March 2020. Matthews was forced to leave after a series of on-air mistakes, including comparing Senator Bernie Sanders, who is Jewish, to the Nazi invasion of France during World War II.
Matthews was also accused of making inappropriate and sexist comments towards women while working at the network. «I'm retiring», - Matthews told viewers in a monologue at the beginning of the March 2 episode. «This is the last Hardball on MSNBC». This completely shocked his colleagues. Matthews hosted Hardball since 1997.
«Evening and nightly news has been the universe of white men really since I grew up», - Reid told The New York Times. «For someone who grew up as a nerdy kid, obsessed with news, watching Nightline and Meet the Press, the idea of being part of this family has always been just overwhelming».
Posts on Reid’s inactive blog, The Reid Report, suggested that Republican Governor of Florida Charlie Crist was a closeted gay man who married a woman as a cover. There were also posts condemning gay sex, demeaning lesbians, promoting offensive stereotypes about LGBTQ+ people, and claiming that Reid couldn’t watch «Brokeback Mountain». The FBI began investigating possible criminal activity on the site, as Reid claimed the site was hacked.
She apologized on air for what was found on her blog. «I sincerely do not believe that I wrote those hateful things, because they are completely foreign to me. But I can definitely understand, based on what I tweeted, wrote in the past, why some people don’t believe me», - she said on MSNBC. «For that, I sincerely, sincerely apologize». She also apologized to Ann Coulter, whom she called a man in several tweets from 2010 to 2011. «I want to apologize to the trans community and to Ann», - she said.
At the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, there is a program called Newhouse In NYC, which allows media students to spend a semester interning and attending classes in New York. Reid taught a course on «Race, Gender, and Media» at the school’s satellite campus in Manhattan. However, the journalist was not
