Even though her ratings are in a rapidly accelerating death spiral, MSNBC’s Joy Reid will likely continue to have iron-clad job security largely because pulling the plug on her failing show will inevitably result in accusations of racism against the network.
At least that’s the theory of Fox News host Greg Gutfeld who offered up his keen insight during Wednesday’s edition of “The Five” during a discussion about the left’s hysterical reaction to the $44 billion sale of Twitter to Tesla/SpaceX CEO Elon Musk who is an outspoken defender of free speech.
Following some choice clips of Reid’s unhinged ranting including her trivializing the Holocaust to make the point that “Twitter is not the government, they are a private company that says you’re not allowed to be a Nazi on Twitter,” as well as suggesting that Musk has a secret desire to bring 1980s South African apartheid to Twitter, Gutfeld laid it out.
“I can’t love a story more than this story,” he said. “It’s like we got a free election result, you know, in which we won and we get to see all the people who dislike us, not that we dislike them, but who dislike us, break down in public. It really is like 2016, except instead of Trump winning, the First Amendment won, isn’t that beautiful?”
“Joy Reid has built a foolproof career insurance plan,” he added. “She has MSNBC so terrified, that like they can’t fire her because she’s just gonna call them racist, too.”
“She calls everybody racist, and that’s her game, and that’s her scam,” he said, “and the MSNBC management are cowards for letting her do this but, that’s what they chose to do.”
MSNBC’s all-star lineup of left-wing kooks and Democratic Party shills is among the most toxic on cable television but few are more blatantly vile than “the race lady” when it comes to talking toxic trash about race and conjuring crackpot theories against what she seems to believe is a vast “white supremacist” conspiracy that is present everywhere in American society.
But Reid’s tiresome act is wearing very thin with the ratings for “The Reid Out” at an all-time low and dropping fast with even hardened leftists tuning out as her audience evaporates.

According to Fox News, “’ReidOut’ averaged 1.1 million viewers during the news-heavy month, a 31% decline from April of last year. She also shed 11% of viewers who tuned in last month and a staggering 51% compared to the show’s debut month of July 2020.”
“‘ReidOut’ has also lost 57% of her total audience among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults age 25-54 since the program launched in July 2020, finishing April with a dismal demo average of only 124,000 viewers. ‘ReidOut’ viewership during April was MSNBC’s least-watched month during the weeknight 7 p.m. hour among the critical demo since July 2015,” Fox News reported, citing data from Nielsen Media Research, a firm that measures television viewership.
Gutfeld just may be onto something.

Look, she’s got a shelf life like every woke/racist extremist out there does. She’ll realize it when she is so past tense, she’ll be lucky to find any job on camera.
SHE REMINDS ME OF WHAT MY BOWEL-MOVEMENT PRODUCES EVERY MORNING ! WOULD BE NICE IF I COULD FLUSH HER AS EASILY AS THOSE TURDS !! F.J.B.
I’m been saying that, since MNBC stands for champion for the black race, calling everyone a racist if they don’t agree with their propagandized narrative. To fire that black race bait would show that they are just as much of a racist as anyone else. Never mind the “truth”.
I think I agree with Gutfeld. That racist harpy has the shrunken heads at MSLSD so thoroughly cowed they wouldn’t can her even if her ratings threatened to destroy the entire network.
So don’t fire her. Demote her to a field reporter covering high school football games.
Gutfeld is more right than wrong most times. The end times are fast approaching for msmbc just like they did for cnn
That’s a fact. Worst then trying to get rid of an underperforming federal employee who happens to be Black. The can just gets kicked down to road for someone else to deal with.
Even African Americans don’t watch this ding-a-ling.
She should join the other Hags on the view!
joyless will call them racists at the drop of a hat, if her pay raise isn’t double digit at next contract, they will prove they are racists. Ratings are no measure of her “true” value to the network.
Fortunately Joy’s mother kept her nicely starched Denny’s uniform, just in case people figured out her scam.
Greg is so right, this woman never balks at calling people racists and fascists. MSNBC needs to start a streaming service, push her onto it, then cancel it due to no buyers, pulling a CNN+
No integrity. Says it all about USA journalism.
Proof that anyone opposing the Twitter sale is the enemy of the United States.
Bingo !
Exactly what I thought . She seethes with being a racist .
She’ll pull out the race card if the show is cancelled .,
And have to go back to the ghetto where she really belongs .
So? She accuses everyone of racism.
