Part 2/7:
Joy Reid, who had been a fixture on MSNBC for over a decade, was let go just weeks prior, triggering a wave of backlash not only from her but also among her former colleagues. Reid took to social media shortly after her firing, passionately defending the importance of her show in amplifying leftist voices and progressive causes. Her emotional response, while authentic, may not have sat well with the network's leadership.
Reid's perceived value was rooted in her belief that she contributed significantly to MSNBC's identity. Following her dismissal, Reid expressed feelings of betrayal by the network she helped establish. Insiders suggest she is now seeking vengeance against MSNBC, setting the stage for a potential public clash.
