Becky’s Purge
Rebecca (Becky) Kutler, the new MSNBC programming chief, axed longtime anchor Joy Reid. Kutler came from CNN to MSNBC about two years ago. President Trump often finds Joy Reid’s reports on him irritating. Trump had this to say about Reid’s firing on Truth Social. “Joy Reid. Based on her virtually nonexistent ratings, she should have been ‘canned’ long ago, along with everyone else who works there.” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Trump also tried to kick in the back of “Lowlife Chairman of ‘Concast,’ Brian Roberts, the owner of Ratings Challenged NBC and MSDNC, has finally gotten the nerve up to fire one of the least talented people in television, the mentally obnoxious racist Joy Reid.”
Tonight, Joy Reid ended her almost 5-year run of “The ReidOut.”
The Trump/Musk DOG(E) Cut Reach Private Companies.
Kutler also fired Alex Wagner. Wagner had been substituting for Rachel Maddow four nights a week since August 16, 2022. Maddow was the MSNBC Primetime goose that laid the golden egg. She was on five weeknights. In 2022, then-MSNBC President Rashida Jones gave Maddow a $30 million raise and allowed her to work only one night per week.
That move was ass backward. There are reports that since MSNBC’s downward rating spiral, Maddow has agreed to a $5 million annual pay cut.
In August 2022, Ms. Jones replaced Maddow with Alex Wagner. Ms. Wagner was a great guest and commentator but not a Rachel Maddow. The only MSNBC host who sucked more than Wagner was Jen Psaki. Psaki is President Joe Biden’s former Press Secretary. But old Ginger kept her job during and after Becky’s purge. Ratings are claiming Jen Psaki has better numbers than Alex Wagner.
Will Becky spare Al Sharpton from her blade of death? Sharpton’s show has low ratings, and although Sharpton frequently criticizes President Trump, Becky may spare him for now. Sharpton is a known rabble-rouser. Cutting Sharpton would give him more time to march on MSNBC. Al Sharpton makes a substantial part of his living by scamming and selling smoke from Cloud Nine to Black people. Most of them buy the smoke. Sad.
Rashida Jones Out With Joy Reid Out
Rashida Jones proved to be an “Inclusion” hire. She was cute but dumb and lacked the acumen to make sound business decisions. ESPN sports anchor Steven A. Smith once said that when he wakes up in the morning, he “thinks of ways to make his boss money.”
Rashida Jones took the opposite route. She woke up thinking of ways to misspend her bosses’ money. Plus, Rashida Jones continued to allow Joy Reid to speak unbiasedly about the war in Gaza. Knowing that her boss, Mark Lazarus, was taking notes.
In 2022, when they instructed Rashida Jones to hire Rebecca Kutler as her second in command, the antennae-less Jones did not figure she was training her replacement.
That tactic is par for the course in black-and-white relationships in America. Ms. Jones’ head had become numb from drinking white wine. Nonetheless, Becky got her. Good job, Becky.
Several Factors Led To Joy Reid’s Firing.
Several factors led to Kutler putting the axe on Joy Reid’s neck. (1) Trump’s return to the White Office. (2) Low ratings. (3) Joy Reid attempted to give a voice to the plight of the Palestinians in Gaza. (4) Ried continues to make up false stories about Kamala’s loss. (5) Her continued slight against White men. (6) Joy Reid continues to hammer President Trump and his policies.
Kutler replaced The ReidOut with a Panel Show featuring former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland Republican Michael Steel. Steel will co-host with Simone (Mammy) Sanders and Alicia Menedez. Menedez and Sanders host a weekend show (The Weekend) on Saturday and Sunday with Steel. Since Trump won the 2024 presidential election, the viewership of MSNBC and CNN has collapsed. The “Weekend” show, unremarkably, allegedly has good ratings.
It may be time to question Neilsens. Has Neilsen become like the polls that showed Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump? Or has “shadow banning” skipped the YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter membrane into mainstream media? “Connections and favors rule the game.” — Beyond The Gates. CBS show.
Simone (Mammy) Sanders served as national press secretary for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign.
Major cable channels adjusted their lineups after Trump returned to the White House. The exception is Fox News. Fox News, the leading cable News channel, increased its ratings after the 2024 election. Viewers who fled CNN and MSNBC—some of whom have returned—felt betrayed and lied to because of Kamala Harris’ loss to Trump.
One former Harris campaigner, a Chinese woman, has been traumatized by the shellacking. The last appearance I saw with her was on News Nation — a month ago. The host, Natasha Zouves, could see that her guest was suffering some mental distress.
Hopefully, they offered that lady some help. She really believed the bullshit the Harris campaign was shoveling was absolute. Sad.
Fox News Remains Afloat. The Empire Built On Sand / Bigotry
Fox ‘News’ remains afloat despite its reputation for mass communication lies. Most Fox hosts are known as liars. Their siloed audience lives, breathes, and survives on the lies and propaganda they dish out daily. President Trump said MSNBC should pay the American people for telling lies.
After all, Fox News paid for lying. How much does Fox ‘News’ owen African Americans for all the slanderous and libelous things propagated against them?
“President Trump blasted MSNBC, saying the leftist network should pay “vast sums of money” for the “unpardonable sin” it has done to the country.”
It’s not as easy for Reid to lie and propagandize as YouTubers. Corporate Media answers to a higher authority. They have advertisers that they respond to. Some associates question why Joy Reid wasn’t more radical in her approach to Black issues.
Broadcasters act within the scope that corporate sponsors and their customers will allow.
Mainstream media cannot outright become proselytizers of hate, of course, except Fox News. Fox News owes reparations to African Americans….just like they paid reparations to Dominion for telling one lie about their voting machines.
BCT is overflowing with DEI in management. And it’s not the Black women. Black women have degrees. Several Black and White men have upper management experience and military experience. However, two are just sitting there collecting a paycheck for doing nothing. No military, no college.
One day, a guy was cutting the grass, and the next day, someone from Miami-Dade County promoted him to Superintendent. The guy from Miami-Dade had a position created for him to justify a pay raise. The guy is one step above functional illiteracy. The Director needs to ask this guy to write a BCT transportation report.
It is an outright scam. The taxpayers aren’t getting what they bargained for. This guy sits there all day and does nothing. He commands no staff. He literally cannot prepare a report on anything. There are Latinos with military experience and college degrees, yet the County promotes a Latino with no college and or military background. The place is sinking fast.

It is crucial to be forward-thinking but not a forward person. “Be kind to everyone you meet because each carries his heavy burden…” Plato.
