Is Joy Reid gone?

[LiberalFighter]

I noticed a day or two ago but didn't think anything of it. Today I checked to see what the guide would show for the 7:00 pm hour. It was The Beat with Ari Melba. Hope joy comes back very soon.

2. if joy comes back will ari melba be toast? hmmm nt

[True Dough]

5. Melber toast, but close enough!

That's a scorching hot joke right there!

3. I noticed it too, but if that's the case, I'm done

I will not support MSNBC anymore although I still have some favorites left (Nicolle, LO, Rachel).

Melissa Harris Perry, Tiffany Cross, and Joy Reid?

Three strikes = done. I know people who were already done after Tiffany was fired.

4. At beginning of his show , he said he would be on for two hours

I am assuming it is for him to provide coverage of what is going on in Gaza

And Joy gets a long weekend

Joy's Twitter says she will be back on Monday and to watch Ari's 2 hours special tonight

[LiberalFighter]

12. Glad to hear.

I only watch the last half hour of Members show cause nothing else. I catch that part because local news in first half hour. Then watch first half of Joy until Jeopardy comes on.

6. She might be travelling to Philly with Rachel for a special event.

MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, and Joy Reid are all coming to Philly

Three of MSNBC’s most recognizable hosts will be making Philadelphia appearances over the next few days.


Three of MSNBC’s most recognizable hosts — Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, and Joy Reid — will be taking time out of their hectic cable news schedules to head to Philadelphia over the next few days.

Hayes, who has hosted All In on MSNBC for a decade, is headed to the Fillmore on Monday for a live taping of his podcast, Why Is This Happening? Joining him on stage will be two guests — author Naomi Klein and Reid, the host of MSNBC’s The ReidOut.

7. Thanks for the reminder! I need to dvr that!

[elleng]

8. Likely

[lapucelle]

9. Naomi Klein...

[blogslug]

13. Perhaps you mistake Naomi Klein with her doppleganger, Naomi Wolf?

Ms. Klein just wrote a whole book about it

[lapucelle]

14. Nope. During the 2016 general election, Klein amplified narratives that helped elect Trump.

Wolf, however, is even worse.

10. Thanks - good to know.

[iemanja]

11. Did she defy MSNBC on the Gaza issue?

Because I read they just got rid of all three Muslim anchors, at least temporarily.

[lapucelle]

15. Where did you read that? Who are the anchors? N/T

[iemanja]

18. I read it on DU

in another thread, but another poster says the news is unreliable. ETA, this is the post: https://democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=18362100

Evidently one of the anchors has since appeared on MSNBC.

It came from Twitter, so I shouldn't have repeated it as fact.

[lapucelle]

21. There's a lot of agenda-driven misinformation afoot.

[LiberalFighter]

17. It appears to be a highly unreliable source.

[GreenWave]

16. Back on Monday, but the dickheads keep taking over Ana Cabrera

Blabbermouth Joe this week and Jose Diaz. Then they put on a sausage fest on folks, rarely a woman.

I want to hear a woman's perspective on the Middle East as their voices cannot be ignored.

[Liberal In Texas]

19. Probably taking some vacation days.

Instead of putting a B-stringer in her slot, they probably thought giving Ari 2 hours with the Israel/Hamas situation now would be a good idea.

[moondust]

20. Maybe flying to Israel.
