Part 2/8:
In her final moments on-air, Joy Reid expressed sadness and disbelief over her show's cancellation. Notably, she choked up while emotionally acknowledging the impact her work had throughout her time at MSNBC. This moment was juxtaposed against past instances where Reid critiqued others for similar displays of emotion, particularly referring to the concept of "white tears." Her emotional farewell drew mixed responses from the public and media analysts alike, casting Reid's sincerity into question and underlining the hypocrisy seen among some in the higher echelons of news broadcasting.
