Joy Reid shot herself in the foot with inflammatory social media posts that drove MSNBC bosses to cancel her show The Reid Out, an industry expert says.

Status News reported that Reid’s constant progressive, anti-Trump rants unsettled MSNBC bosses who are seeking to foster a less biased-sounding liberal news network during the second Trump administration.

Reid’s commitment to promoting ultra progressive causes ‘offered an easy target to attack MSNBC’s editorial stances’ as the network tries to overhaul its programming and recover from bad ratings, Status reported.

Comcast executive Mark Lazarus is said to want to change the perception that ‘Republicans cannot get a fair shake from the network’ by moving to a more ‘palatable progressivism.’

Trump has blasted the network as ‘losers,’ calling MSNBC head Brian Roberts a ‘Lowlife Chairman’ while branding Reid a ‘mentally obnoxious racist.’

Meanwhile, the writing was reportedly on the wall for Reid as early as last year, when her five year contract with MSNBC ended and she was only offered a one year extension.

On Monday, Reid anchored the ReidOut, holding a summit with her fellow MSNBC anchors as she warned that ‘fascism isn’t just coming, it’s already here.’

Reid made sure to equate Trumpism with fascism before gathering what she called her ‘superfriends’ of fellow anchors from the struggling network.

Reid appeared on the Reid Out one last time on Monday after saying she is not sorry for taking the stances she took on air and social media

She held a summit with Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell and Nicole Wallace, all of whom praised Reid and expressed how sad they were that the show was ending but refused to criticize their bosses.

The liberal pundit wept as she broke her silence Sunday after being fired from the network on a podcast.

Reid clarified that she was ‘not sorry’ despite the cancellation of The Reid Out as MSNBC looks to restructure its programming.

MSNBC boss Rebecca Kutler summoned Reid’s staff for a meeting on Sunday that quickly grew ‘tense and emotional’

‘I’ve been through every emotion… anger, rage, disappointment, hurt… guilt. You know, [ a feeling] that I let my team lose their jobs,’ Reid said during a Zoom conversation with the Win With Black Women podcast.

‘But in the end, where I really land… is just gratitude. Just pure gratitude and gratitude. Not just because people would take the time to get on a call like this or to take care of me. But also that my show had value.’

Reid broke down as she explained that she’s not sorry for having gone ‘hard on so many’ progressive issues like Black Lives Matter or immigrant rights on her primetime slot.

‘Whether it’s talking about any of these issues and, yes, whether it’s talking about Gaza and the fact that we as the American people have a right to object, to have a right to object to little babies being bombed,’ Reid went on.

‘And and where I come down on that is I’m not sorry. I am not sorry that I stood up for those those things because those things are of God.’

The Reid Out was canceled amid tanking ratings – a decision leaked early Sunday and confirmed by her bosses just hours later.

Kutler insisted in a meeting with the Read Out’s staff Sunday that Donald Trump was not a factor in the decision and the network’s changes were made based on ‘data analysis and programming strategy” that she believes will “best position MNSBC for the year ahead.’

She said the show’s cancellation was part of a ‘broader slate of programming changes that will be laid out’ on Monday.

Katie Phang, Jonathan Capehart and Ayman Mohyeldin have also reportedly been given the boot from their current timeslots, the New York Post reported.

Fellow NBCU asset NBC News further confirmed Monday that Lester Holt was also leaving his iconic Nightly News gig.

Reid’s three decade broadcasting career has been marred by multiple controversies – Following Donald Trump’s assassination attempt last summer, Reid was slammed for taking to X and sharing conspiracies, including that he may not have even been shot at all

Reid’s three decade broadcasting career has been marred by multiple controversies – with her downfall sparked in 2017 when homophobic posts she had penned about ex Florida governor Charlie Crist from 2007 to 2009, emerged.

In 2018, anti-gay remarks were found on her old blog from posts in 2006, which she blamed on hackers at the time.

Other 2006 blog posts then came to light, including one that stated ‘current iterations of Islam are largely incompatible with Western notions of free speech and expression, and thus, I’d say, with the Bushian dream of Western style democracy for all.’

In 2020 she angered many by comparing radicalized supporters of President Trump to ‘the way Muslims act’ – causing Trump to call for her firing.

Following Donald Trump’s assassination attempt last summer, Reid was slammed for taking to X and sharing conspiracies, including that he may not have even been shot at all.
