Rachel Maddow scolds her bosses at NBC News/MSNBC for the deliberate loss of Joy Reid ...
A word to the not so wise: Fall on the sword, stage a walk out OR just don't shit where you eat!?
Never one to let a crisis go to waste the afore mentioned Ms. Maddow took to last night’s Comcast/Xfinity Owned and Operated Airwaves to excoriate NBC News/MSNBC Execs for the recent ouster of one Joy-Ann M. Lomena-Reid -- her now once and former colleague at MSNBC after Reid's ceremonial departure from the network earlier in the day.
The rebuke is widely being hailed as a clarion call in the second act of President Donald J. Trump and as the meat grinder of turnover throughout journalism of today continues.
But you can only rearrange, cut ties and cut salaries so much before you start to realize, or, at least you should anyways, that its past time for you to move on.
Lets also face the fact that Joy Reid is a blatantly racist person who has no business whatsoever in alleged or even supposed objective journalism or calling herself a journalist she got her start in the public eye, after all, from her run as the Florida Campaign Chair for Barack Obama's 2004 presidential campaign. Things for her went from there, and she’s been, by my count, hired and fired or outrightly quit the fledgling network a whopping five times since her career there, largely, began in 2012.
She makes no bones of her virulent hatred towards President Trump and Republicans. They could spit on the sidewalk and she’d find a way to call harmless spital from them the epidemy of racism, misogyny and bigotry! All for the sake of ratings, likes and reshares on social media. Always the almighty dollar because a girl's gotta eat, right!?
In any case though, what really sicks in my crawl isn’t Joy Reid, but rather Ms. Maddow who always likes to put herself in the middle of or in the business of others. I would to God wish that that “woman” would shut up and do the news! She is, as her colleagues are at MSNBC, an attention seeker! Look at me while I feign moral outrage over the hiring and firing and the moving around of deckchairs on the Titanic. Anything and everything for attention. Likes and clickbait.
I am still old enough to remember when a fella by the name of Keith Olbermann had his turns in controversy and the like at MSNBC and Rachel Maddow saying anything but thank you Phil Griffin (MSNBC's Chief Executive at the time) may I have a primetime slot and hundreds of millions of dollars more for my troubles, Sir?!
Yet she now wishes to feign moral outrage and excoriate the hands that feeds her for ousting a virulently-known racist and antisemitic the likes of Joy Reid? Hold my beer while I have a laugh at her and Joy Reid’s expense!
So, I say to Ms. Maddow THIS: You really wanna go there, lady? You and your handler Steve Benen really wanna go there? Fine! Then put your money where your mouth is and stage a walkout. Resign in protest! That’s what that moment from last night, the video above, sounds an awful lot like that’s really what you want to do! If Joy Reid really means that much to you, if the integra of news and journalism — at the very least left leaning news and journalism anyways — means that much to you, the relevancy of it, the DEI hiring moments of it, and the WOKE moments you and Joy Reid have had together over the years really and truly means that much to you then pack what shit you have laying on your desk and you and your people take a walk! I DARE YOU. OR, you can sit there in that anchoret chair, night after night, shut up and do the news and collect your overly inflated salary each month?!
The choice, Ms. Maddow, is yours. But the dye has been cast, by you oddly enough, starting with your little opening night editorial last night for the records and tally books everywhere, I am merely holding you to it. Have some courage! Have some conviction for once in your life! Anti up. Pony up the dough for that all important moment in cable and network news history and WALK OUT, BUT don’t continue to just shit where you eat, and not expect people like me to call your bluff, lady!
DEO VINDICE ET SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!!
Well done....
