Gawd I miss Joy Reid!!! MSNBC lost one of the best anchors of all time.

[BComplex]

WTF were they thinking? I looked forward to her show every single day. Total fail by the management.

[montanacowboy]

1. Same here

she was the BEST
I won"t watch ARI and I don't like Jen Psaki at all

[BComplex]

12. I'm with you on both of those others, Ari and Jen.

But Joy was brilliant AND fun!

[Paladin]

16. Yeah, I avoid Ari like the plague, as well.

I think it was that 5,783rd time he sprung an obscure rap music lyric on an unsuspecting guest, trying to make himself look cool.

I damn sure miss Joy Reed, though. Way to fire (so to speak), MSNBC...

2. I gave up msnbc after the election but I'd peek in at times when Joy was on

Now the whole station is dead to me.

[Quakerfriend]

3. Dead to me too. I think their intent is to kill it.

[ComtesseDeSpair]

4. Me too...

She was the best thing to happen to MSNBC since Rachel. Total disgrace.

[Chipper Chat]

5. Never missed her show. Planned supper around her.

She drilled right to the core of issues and didn't pull any punches. And for that she got medhihannaned.

[cachukis]

6. Truly one of the smartest. She sees what others miss.

[Mike Nelson]

7. I don't know what...

... they were thinking. Maybe she asked for more money? These three replacements are okay... these "Weekend" hosts. Still, they don't have that "host charisma" you can see/feel in Joy and others. I said several times they should cancel Joe and Mika and make the day start with Morning Joy. Nobody listens to me.

8. K&R ditched MSNBC in '12 but agree

[hlthe2b]

9. Yeah. She had a fiery way of going at the most insane news that I really appreciated.

I don't dislike Michael Steele, but he is so clearly a "place-holder" and the show is pretty boring. I'm not a big fan of his weekend show with Menendez so much when Symone Sanders joins. There just doesn't seem to be a good fit between the three of them. Sanders does better on her own. So, I'm not happy with any combination of the three or one alone, replacing Joy.

But, yeah, I DO miss Joy. Big mistake to lose her.

10. Cancelling her show was a significant loss...

for progressive voices. It's like having your childhood home bulldozed and all that's left is a vacant, weed choked lot to stare at. Sad.

[electric_blue68]

11. I wondered why I suddenly didn't hear her. Damn, I liked her a lot!

I think I had stopped listening to MSNBC (and visiting here) during the time she was fired

Good Luck to her. Hopefully we'll hear her in some other venue, form etc

[BComplex]

13. Welcome back!

We're better together, and it seems like "we're going through some things", as trump said about Marie Yvonovich (sp?)

[electric_blue68]

18. Thanks! And no kidding.

It was necessary to get away but I missed chatting w DU'rs after some days. So I'm glad to be back in that way. 👍

[TommieMommy]

14. Totally enjoyed Joy Reid 💙 miss her

[eShirl]

15. She's writing daily on her Substack!

17. Thank you for linking that joyannreid substack!

I can get a little bit of a joy fix there! It's sure not the same, though!

19. Ty for this.
