Full Episode
Well, folks, nature is healing, and nowhere is it healing more, apparently, than at MSNBC. Now, I have to say, I have mixed feelings about this news. Joy Reid is apparently losing her show at MSNBC, and that is a loss for, I think, all of us, considering that approximately 11% of the content of the show was simply provided by Joy Reid and her asinine commentary on politics.
On Sunday, Variety and The New York Times reported that Reid's 7 p.m. weeknight show, The Readout, is being canceled and will air its final episode this week. Apparently, she is leaving the network completely as a result, which, of course, is not a shock. She's not going to want to stick around and play second fiddle. Perhaps she will join Jim Acosta at a brand new network. Ooh, maybe Jen Rubin.
There's a lot of options out there for Joy Reid, who is the kind of psychotic leftist who helped run the Democratic Party directly into a ditch. MSNBC, by the way, insists that they are going to continue with their progressive move. They are not, in fact, going to move toward the center, which, again, genius-level stuff from the leadership over at MSNBC, apparently.
They're going to move Jen Psaki, who is the former White House press secretary under Joe Biden. They're going to move her to anchor one of the primetime hours during the week. She could be named anchor of MSNBC's 9 p.m. hour, where Rachel Maddow currently is. Maddow might be moved as well. Alex Wagner will remain with the network as a correspondent. So.
The people who are apparently going to replace Joy Reid in that 7 p.m. slot are Simone Sanders Townsend, who, of course, was a press secretary originally for Bernie Sanders before becoming a press secretary for Kamala Harris. Michael Steele, the former RNC chairman who has moved far to the left, and Alicia Menendez. They are currently the co-host of MSNBC's weekend program called The Weekend.
So they are moving into the 7 p.m. hour. According to MSN.com, Sanders Townsend, formerly a spokesperson for Harris, was hired by MSNBC in 2022. Meanwhile, the leadership over at MSNBC suggests that they are going to add Politico's Eugene Daniels and NYU law professor Melissa Murray to the network's lineup as well. So they are continuing to move over to the left.
And this reflects a serious problem for the Democratic Party. They do not know which way to move. They are stuck because of identity politics and largely because of immigration. They are now stuck in a rut of their own making, and it is very difficult to break out of that rut. And so you're seeing Democrats struggle against the box, thrash against the box of reality.
Former Bill Clinton pollster Mark Penn points out the Democratic Party is more unpopular than they've been any time in his lifetime. Here he is running down the polling data.
Frankly, the Democratic Party is falling off a cliff. The ratings, which were in the high 40s, are going to be like 35 percent. And I think the basic question, who's doing better job as president, Biden or Trump? Trump is winning that with 57 percent. I think you're seeing a retrospective assessment of Biden and the direction the Democratic Party was going.
