Rachel mattow last week I don't know if
0:40
you saw it after Joy Reed was fired she
0:43
went on a
0:44
meltdown accusing the network that pays
0:46
her tens of millions of dollars every
0:48
year to spout nonsense of being a racist
0:51
Network this is a network that has given
0:53
the ball to many African-American
0:57
Hispanic Asian middle eastern hosts you
1:01
can call MSNBC a lot of things racist
1:03
ain't one of them they gave Joy Reed the
1:05
benefit of the doubt when her computer
1:07
was hacked it was actually her posting
1:10
homophobic rants on her old blog but she
1:13
was hacked and nobody believed that
1:15
except MSNBC and they didn't even
1:16
believe it they just didn't want to get
1:18
accused of racism at that point I think
1:20
so they gave her the benefit of doubt
1:22
they kept her on her ratings had been a
1:25
freef fall for years they kept her on
1:28
finally they said Hey look call us
1:29
racist if you want to we're cutting bait
1:32
we're cutting bait on this show with
1:33
this hateful racist woman who really
1:36
hates white people let's be honest and
1:38
now Rachel madow comes out and she wants
1:40
a virtue signal to her audience and call
1:43
her own network racist insinuate that
1:45
her own network is
1:46
racist well after that little diet tribe
1:50
the network Executives called her entire
1:52
staff into the into a room into a
1:55
meeting and said you're fired get rid of
1:58
her whole staff they said they can apply
1:59
for other jobs within the company if
2:02
they get them or not who knows but
2:03
they're done with the Rachel madow
2:05
show that to me means it's a matter of
2:08
time till the Rachel madow show itself
2:10
is done I want you guys to watch what
2:12
madow did last week and let me know what
2:14
you think in the comments PM hour all
2:17
the other nights except for Mondays so
2:19
that's a big change an even bigger Pro
2:22
programming change is at 700 p.m. uh 7 P
2:26
p.m. Eastern where Joy reads show the
2:28
readout ended ton night and joy is not
2:32
taking a different job in the network
2:34
she is leaving the network altogether
2:35
and that is very very very hard to take
2:40
I am 51 years old I have been gainfully
2:43
employed since I was
2:45
12 and I have had so many different
2:47
kinds of jobs you wouldn't believe me if
2:49
I told you but in all of the jobs I have
2:52
had in all of the years I have been
2:54
alive there is no colleague for whom I
2:56
have had more affection and more respect
3:00
than Joy Reed I love everything about
3:02
her I have learned so much from her I
3:05
have so much more to learn from her I do
3:07
not want to lose her as a colleague here
3:09
at MSNBC and personally I think it is a
3:11
bad mistake to let her walk out the door
3:14
it is not my call and I understand that
3:17
but that's what I think I will tell you
3:19
it is also unnerving to see that on a
3:22
network where we've got two count them
3:25
two non-white hosts in Prime Time both
3:28
of our non-white host in prime time are
3:30
losing their shows as is Katie Fang on
3:33
the
3:34
weekend and that feels worse than bad no
3:37
matter who replaces them that feels
3:39
indefensible and I do not defend
3:43
it but there's just one other piece of
3:45
it that you should know um from your
3:47
side of the TV screen you will you will
3:49
mostly see changes in terms of who's in
3:51
the anchor chair and actually
3:52
everybody's who's going to be in Anchor
3:54
chairs from here on out are great
3:56
colleagues and great at what they do and
3:58
you are not going to be disappointed and
4:00
who's on our air and what you're going
4:01
to be
4:02
seeing but one thing you cannot
4:05
necessarily see is that the people who
4:07
get our shows on the air they're really
4:09
being put through the ringer um dozens
4:12
of producers and staffers including some
4:14
who are among the most experienced and
4:16
most talented and most specialist
4:19
producers in the building um are facing
4:21
being laid off they're being invited to
4:24
reapply for new
4:27
jobs um that has never happened happened
4:30
at this scale in this way before when it
4:32
comes to programming changes presumably
4:34
because it's not the right way to treat
4:36
people and it's inefficient and it's
4:37
unnecessary and it kind of drops the
4:39
bottom out of whether or not people feel
4:41
like this is a good place to work and so
4:42
we don't generally do things that
4:45
way maybe all of our folks including
4:47
most of the people who are getting this
4:49
very show on the air right now maybe
4:51
they will all get new jobs here and I
4:53
hope they do but in the meantime being
4:56
put in this kind of
4:57
limbo the anxiety and the discom
5:00
discombobulation is off the charts at a
5:03
time when this job already is extra
5:05
stressful and difficult it is not news
5:08
for me to tell you that the press and
5:10
freedom of the press are under attack in
5:12
a way that is
5:13
really um it's a big deal for our
5:16
country it's very visceral for us here I
5:19
know that the business of the press is
5:20
not an easy thing and I know that no job
5:23
is
5:24
forever but um I think I think I'm safe
5:27
in saying for for all of us anchor who
5:30
you know through the TV please know that
5:32
what pains us the most is not what
5:34
happens to us it is what happens to our
5:36
co-workers on whom we Depend and who you
5:39
don't necessarily know but we respect
5:42
and love them and depend on them and did
5:45
I mention we respect
5:48
them this is a difficult time in the
5:50
news business but it does not need to be
5:53
this
5:54
difficult we welcome new voices to this
5:57
place and and some familiar voices to
6:00
new hours it's going to be great
6:02
honestly and we want to grow and succeed
6:05
and reach more people than ever and be
6:07
resilient and stay here
6:09
forever I also believe and I bet you
6:12
believe that the way to get there is by
6:13
treating people well finding good
6:17
people good
6:19
colleagues doing good work with them and
6:21
then having their
6:23
back that we could do a lot better on a
6:26
lot
6:27
better I'll be right back
