I agree. MSNBC needs to get rid of all of the GOP rethreads from Fox...we don't want them

1. + 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

[lsewpershad]

31. Plus one more

[yeoman6987]

34. It's possible joy was asked to do a show and said no

Her schedule now is awesome for her. I'd love it.

[spanone]

2. K&R...

[Skittles]

3. I ABSOLUTELY AGREE

[50 Shades Of Blue]

4. Totally! I can't change the channel on Greta fast enough! She's so gross.

[Tarheel_Dem]

5. I know Greta was a purely business decision, but I can't imagine she attracts enough deplorables....

to make her show profitable. Joy had a daily show @ 2pm, but it was cancelled. Perhaps an evening slot would be the perfect fit for her.

[notdarkyet]

23. I've watched her. Not impressed. Love Joy.

[Leghorn21]

6. A DUer suggested they trade her to Fox for Shep - I'm down wid dat! But yes, MORE JOY,

for the love of God!!

[Cha]

7. That would make so much sense.. but m$m is not

known for that.

[AgadorSparticus]

8. Hell yes!!

[elfin]

9. Of course, she is FABULOUS

But then, she would outshine Toad, Tweety, Hayes, and Kornacki in the weekly afternoon and evening time slots.

So embarrassing to those men, whose agents may have more clout with the network.

I never watched cable news on Saturday -- until she was put in that time.She is my favorite - even over Rachel and Lawrence.

[StevieM]

10. I love Joy Reid. But I like Chris Hayes a lot too.

I don't think Chris Hayes has a lot of clout. His ratings were low for awhile and it seemed like they were looking to replace him. They just didn't know who they were going to put in his time slot. Then he won an emmy and then his ratings went up. So he bought himself some more time.

[elfin]

12. I am OK with your assessment -- I don't dislike him -- but still think Joy is better.

He has a book out now, which will give him more heft.

[moonscape]

35. I also really like Hayes. n/t

[iluvtennis]

13. Agree, never thought to watch Saturday morning news until I discovered Joy early last...

...year. Joy, Lawrence, and Rachel are my favorites!!! Chris Hayes seems nice enough, but I just don't connect with him. And Tweety just rubs me the wrong way.

[lindysalsagal]

11. Gerta's gotta go.

I just don't like her.

[redstateblues]

14. Hiring Greta shows you how out of touch the MSNBC suits are

No MSNBC regular watchers are watching her-and no Faux watchers are watching her. Her ratings are cratering-that's why she is being heavily promoted. Her show is on it's last gasp. Go Joy!! She is the real deal.

[TeamPooka]

15. For one extra hour of her a week she would not be able to do the extra long segments she gets

to do on AM JOY. Because format rules the daily shows.
I like her half hour long panel discussions a lot.
She has more editorial leeway on the weekend show.
MSNBC lets her do whatever she wants there.
Breaking news interrupts the daily shows all the time.
I can take her there or leave her where she is now and still be very happy.

[iluvtennis]

22. I do like the extended panel discussions - get lots of great insights and...

....got exposure to folks I didn't even know before, e.g., Malcolm Nance, Toure, Naveed Jamili, Jonathan Capehart, Karine
Jean-Pierre, etc, etc.

[grantcart]

16. Greta should take over MSNBC Locked Up series and she

will be able to interview her old friends soon.

[Frustratedlady]

18. Bingo! eom

[colbertforpresident]

17. Absolutely

Greta is a waste of a timeslot.

[rurallib]

19. they need to dump Greta, move Tweety into her slot

and let Joy lead in the evening.

[Adrahil]

20. Abso-fuckin-lately! NT

[yortsed snacilbuper]

21. k$R

[grandpamike1]

24. Greta

Have been watching CNN, and not MSNBC for that reason. Joy is one of the best in the business, and as of now, other than Maddow, they are getting their lunch eaten by CNN.

[moonscape]

42. Actually, MSNBC is beating CNN in all the Primetime evening slots n/t

[sarcasmo]

25. MSNBC really screwed up with the Greta hire.

[JHan]

26. She's sharp and can smell BS from miles away.

[iluvtennis]

29. Agree...Very smart -- does her homework, is always prepared, is well reasoned, and will call BS...

...Harvard educated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy-Ann_Reid

[RKP5637]

27. I've been thinking the same thing!!!! n/t

[TNNurse]

28. I will not watch anyone who came from Fox.

What were they thinking? I watch Joy whenever I can.

[Enoki33]

30. Absolutely agree. What the heck were they thinking. The stench of Fox

still clings to Greta. I will not watch her.

[msdogi]

32. Greta was a big mistake

Irritating manner (and voice) Joy would be such an asset to a daily lineup

[bellmartin]

33. I think we're typical MSNBC evening fans at my house

On days with interesting news especially (which is most days now), we tune into MTP Daily. We can't get it off the channel fast enough when it's time for Greta. We may go to CNN, maybe local news, maybe turn it off. We may then come back for Hardball, or maybe not for some time.

If the excellent and delightful Joy were in that slot instead, it would be must-watch. Lots of evenings, we wouldn't leave until after Lawrence or even after the 11th Hour.

Surely that matters to execs?

Please, bring us JOY!

[moonscape]

36. I'd love either Joy or Ari for that slot. But honestly,

when it comes to Greta, I'd rather watch a test pattern.

[iluvtennis]

39. LOL...watch a test pattern

[Greybnk48]

37. Greta is boring, and is reeking with right wing stank.

(My favorite slur that I learned on here). I LOVE Joy Reid's straightforward, suffer no fools attitude. Greta is a terrible fit. Hopefully she won't last long.

[Tatiana]

38. I think I understand why they brought Greta on now...

and why they won't get rid of her even though her ratings are not-so-good.

She is a wingnut and she is still booking top-tier Republican guests that probably would not go on the other MSNBC primetime shows (e.g. Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow, or Lawrence O'Donnell). She books the guests and they still speak quite freely with her, from what I can see (just like when she was on Faux). I have also noticed hosts like Hayes and O'Donnell using clips of her interviews with Republican guests to prove the Republican's corruption.

I still think her show is atrocious and I refuse to watch or to give her a chance. But, in the grand scheme of things, I guess she serves a purpose.

[StrictlyRockers]

40. OMG, Joy is so much better at this than Greta ever was or will be.

Please, media godz, MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!

[titaniumsalute]

41. Greta is awful

And she is the weakest link in ratings during her slot.

[CrispyQ]

43. They need to ditch Greta & Tweety.

Greta cuz she's a right wing shill & Tweety cuz he's in love with his own voice. Put Joy in one slot & give Ali Velshi the other.

[Yavin4]

44. MSNBC loves hosts that can get Washington insiders

Cenk said as much when he left. That's why they love Joe Scar. He can get Republicans on his show, and that's why they love Greta. If you notice, she gets high ranking Republicans like John McCain.

[CK_John]

45. Greata brings a large wealth base with her.

[NewRedDawn]

46. Crooked face Greta & Kornaki

should both be shown the door. Despise both & wont watch them never! Saw 1 show of Greta & all I could stomach. Watched Kornaki during the election season. No more!

[sellitman]

47. Look who owns MSNBC

We are lucky there are any liberal hosts. I'm amazed they are still some left.

Love her though.
