Rachel Maddow sounds on MSNBC-Line-Up changes and exit from Joy Reid
For a long time MSNBC-Host Rachel Maddow sounded off during a Monday evening broadcast of “The Rachel Maddow Show” on the most important line-up changes in the network, which saw the exit of Anchor Joy Reid.
‘Joy Reid’s Show,’ The Reidout ‘, ended tonight. And joy does not take any other job in the network. She leaves the network completely and that is very, very, very difficult to take, “said Maddow. “I am 51 years old. I have been working profitably since I was 12. I have had so many different types of jobs that you would not believe me if I told you. But in all the jobs I have had, in all the years that I am still alive, there is no colleague for whom I have had more affection and more respect than Joy Reid. I love everything to her. I learned so much from her. I have so much more to learn from her. I don’t want to lose her here at MSNBC as a colleague, and I personally think it’s a bad mistake to let her walk out of the door. ”
MSNBC refused to comment.
Together with Reid, the MSNBC-Shake-Up Anchor Alex Wagner, who organizes Wagner on weekdays outside Maddow’s Monday Night-Slot, saw an employee. The move came shortly after Rebecca Kutler, a former CNN Senior Executive, was named MSNBC’s new president.
Maddow called it “indefensible” that MSNBC’s “two non-white hosts in Primetime lose their shows.” She also noted that Anchor Katie Phang will also lose her weekend slot, because MSNBC closes its MIAMI operation in the midst of belt-tightering that happens in print, TV and digital newspaper activities.
Maddow also explicitly attacked personnel changes that took place behind the camera. According to Maddow, some of the “most experienced, most talented” producers of MSNBC are confronted with dismissals. In the midst of the change in the management regime, MSNBC is also busy hiring new talent, including the correspondent of the White House of Politico, Eugene Daniels. The changes revealed by Kutler on Monday also elevated the roles of MSNBC anchors Symone Sanders Townsend, Michael Steele and Alicia Menendez.
But MSNBC insiders are restless by dealing with the restructuring process by the company. The Shakeup is also because MSNBC is one of the seven linear cable channels that will soon have to be split off from the NBCUIVERSAL MOTHERSHIP to a separate company.
“They are invited to request new jobs again,” said Maddow. “That has never happened on this scale in this way when it comes to programming changes. Probably, because it is not the right way to treat people. It is inefficient and it is unnecessary and it drops the bottom or people feel that this is a good place to work. So we generally don’t do things that way. ”
Maddow’s comments come hours after President Trump focused on Brian Roberts, the chairman CEO of the parent company Comcast of NBCuniversal, and called him a “lowlife” and a “mental annoying racist” who had “long ago” on fire must be taken “.
“This very corrupt operation [of MSNBC] Is nothing more than an illegal arm of the Democratic Party, “Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday Night. “They must be forced to pay huge sums of money for the damage they have caused to our country. Fake News is an unforgivable sin! “
Maddow, who is one of the highest paid personalities of TV News, made her comments with a trembling emotion in her voice and said: “This is a difficult time in the news industry, but it doesn’t have to be that difficult. We welcome new voices In this place and some well -known voices it will be great, and we want to grow, succeed and be resilient and stay here forever. You can find good colleagues, the way to get good people and have their backs.
