What did Rachel Maddow say about her MSNBC bosses?
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to The Megan Kelly Show. Oh, we have a lot to talk about. The fallout from Joy Reid's firing at MSNBC continues. She signed off from the show for the last time last night. I mean, you know, we are going to miss her in our own special way. And her now former colleague, Rachel Maddow.
never one to not be the center of attention if she can find a way of injecting herself into a story, decided to deliver a monologue aimed directly at her bosses. And this is the theme of what we saw. I looked it up today just so I would know the actual definition. Merriam-Webster, sanctimony, affected or hypocritical holiness.
Wikipedia describes sanctimony as a feeling or display of moral superiority. Here's another one for you. Self-righteous from Oxford. A certainty, especially an unfounded one, that one is totally correct or morally superior. I give you Rachel Maddow. We will kick it off with SOT7.
In all of the jobs I have had, in all of the years I have been alive, there is no colleague for whom I have had more affection and more respect than Joy Reid. I love everything about her. I have learned so much from her. I have so much more to learn from her. I do not want to lose her as a colleague here at MSNBC, and personally, I think it is a bad mistake to let her walk out the door.
It is not my call, and I understand that. I will tell you, it is also... unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two, count them, two non-white hosts in primetime, both of our non-white hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Fang on the weekend. And that feels worse than bad, no matter who replaces them. That feels indefensible, and I do not defend it.
and I do not defend it. It feels indefensible, and I do not defend it.
Okay. She really is one of the most annoying people on television. She oozes sanctimony and self-righteousness. And here's the real capper. She took her boss's faces and rubbed them in shit last night. That's what she did. I, you, the guy who oversees, she's got two bosses now, right? All right. She's got the first boss who's new. I've got to look up her name because I don't remember her name.
What's her name, Steve? Rebecca Cutler, okay, who answers to a different boss who's above Rebecca Cutler. His name is Mark Lazarus. His current title is prospective chief executive officer of SpinCo. That's Comcast plan spinoff of MSNBC, basically. He's responsible for the company's networks. Well, Rebecca and Mark, do you have any spines whatsoever?
Are you actually going to let an employee, that's what she is, Rachel Maddow, Talk about you, your company, and your decision-making this way. Mr. Lazarus, do you have any testosterone? Do you have any testicular fortitude to stand up for yourself as a professional and executive, never mind a man, and tell this woman, you're fired too.
