Joy Reid’s departure from the leftist echo chamber known as MSNBC is like a breath of fresh air, or perhaps the sound of a pin dropping in a room full of crickets. After five years of spewing divisive rhetoric on her aptly named program, “The ReidOut,” Reid has finally been shown the door, and not a moment too soon. This firing comes as part of a broader shakeup orchestrated by MSNBC’s new president, Rebecca Kutler, who seems to recognize that the network’s leftward spiraling is not endearing it to viewers.
In a twist that could only be described as deliciously ironic, Reid’s firing coincided with Black History Month, a time when one might expect programming focused on unity. Instead, viewers were treated to the relentless race-baiting and vitriol that “The ReidOut” had become known for— and, apparently, the audience had had enough. Since Donald Trump set the political landscape ablaze, Reid’s ratings have plummeted by a staggering 50%. Nielsen Media Research’s numbers reveal the show’s grim fate, drawing just a dismal 778,000 viewers in mid-February compared to the 3.4 million who tuned in to Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” in the same time slot.

Reid’s failure to connect with the crucial 25-to-54 advertising demographic was even more shocking, attracting a mere 59,000 viewers—a number that might make some consider a life of duck herding instead. Meanwhile, Laura Ingraham was drawing nearly six times that demographic. Could it be that the viewers are finally waking up to how far left the media has strayed? Reid’s obsession with disparaging Trump and white Christians has only pushed viewers towards shows that offer a less toxic alternative.
Prior to her ouster, Reid was raking in a hefty $3 million salary, which suggests either deep pockets on the part of MSNBC or an exceedingly poor business model. Despite her lavish paycheck, network executives recognized that a pay cut was in order—or perhaps it was time for the proverbial ball and chain to be removed altogether. With ratings in freefall, the only mystifying question left is why it took so long for Reid to be shown the exit.
The reaction from social media has been nothing short of jubilant. Many celebrated Reid’s unemployment as a beacon of hope that audiences are rejecting the ongoing anti-white sentiment and orchestrated racial division. Even Donald Trump couldn’t resist the opportunity to weigh in, mockingly referring to Reid’s historically poor ratings and wondering how her unemployment didn’t happen sooner.
In an era where mainstream media increasingly dysfunctions as an arm of the Democrat Party, the public starts to see through the fog of propaganda. With issues like rampant illegal immigration, inflation, and crime transforming American life for the worse, Reid’s dismissal may symbolize a small victory against leftist narratives that serve only to divide. One can only wonder if Reid’s ouster is a sign that networks may actually begin the arduous journey back to some semblance of journalistic integrity.
