Amen.

How sorry are we willing to let ourselves feel for the network
brass?  Now instead of having Maddow and Joy Reid as attack dogs,
they are the target of the attacks and criticisims.

The sweeping overhaul at MSNBC has reached production staff after 
tearing through its lineup of anchors.

The network has already told the majority of employees who produce 
Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid’s shows that they were being let go with the 
option to apply for new roles, according to two sources who spoke to The 
Guardian.

Maddow, MSNBC’s biggest star, will get to keep her executive producer 
Cory Gnazzo and multiple other senior producers, the sources said.

The rest of her team, however, was reportedly given the option to claim 
severance or apply for new roles within the network along with producers 
for other canceled shows.

Maddow is hosting her show five nights a week for the first 100 days of 
Trump’s administration, but will scale back to Monday nights only. 
Maddow’s team also worked on Alex Wagner’s show, which was canceled in 
the overhaul. Former Biden White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki will 
take over Tuesday-Friday nights, according to the report.

An MSNBC source told The Guardian that the changes were not “widespread 
layoffs” but simply a reallocation of producers to support the latest 
changes made to the network’s programming.

MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler earlier announced massive changes to the 
network’s daytime, primetime, and weekend schedules, headlined by the 
cancellation of Joy Reid’s The ReidOut.

Other non-white MSNBC anchors who lost their eponymous shows were Katie 
Phang, Jonathan Capehart, Ayman Mohyeldin, and José Díaz-Balart.

Maddow lashed out at the network on Monday over the shake-up.

The cancellation of The ReidOut “is very, very, very hard to take,” 
Maddow said. “In all of the jobs I have had in all of the years I have 
been alive, there is no colleague for whom I have had more affection and 
more respect than Joy Reid.”

“I will tell you it is also unnerving to see that on a network where 
we’ve got two—count them, two— non-white hosts in primetime, both of our 
non-white hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang 
on the weekend,” she added. “And that feels worse than bad, no matter 
who replaces them. That feels indefensible, and I do not defend it.”

Reid expressed “pure gratitude” for her supporters in a tearful defense 
of her show.

Phang said she was “stunned” to hear of her show’s cancellation, though 
she will remain on the network as a legal correspondent with no anchor slot.

MSNBC suffered a post-election drop in ratings but has since rebounded 
to beat out CNN as left-wing viewers flock to its combative coverage of 
the second Trump administration.
