"The news channel has nixed or demoted their most progressive anchors, all of whom are people of color. These are the hosts who have drawn the most ire from Donald Trump’s online warriors, according to Dave Zirin of The Nation (2/28/25). They are also some of the few who were willing to air the network’s rare criticism of Israel. In their stead, MSNBC has elevated Democratic Party apparatchiks and a center-right never-Trumper. "

@JaniceOCG racism is Republican
@noplasticshower
I have to disagree. There are many in both parties. Just yesterday, 10 voted to publicly humiliate #Algreen. The Dems deal/respond to Black colleagues differently. How many speak/spoke out/up for #Crockett #Coribush or #bowman ? If #Raskin had ranted, there would have been a band of Dems walking right behind them. They are even afraid of the brand of protest that raised democracy & justice to a whole new level of seriousness in this country.
To be accepted, they require diff
@JaniceOCG you are not disagreeing, you are expanding what I was saying. I stand by my statement and also agree with yours.
@noplasticshower
In review, I can sign on to this as a "further".
@JaniceOCG I have seen and heard people blaming the journalists. Blame the network because the journalists are not the ones at fault here. Both most of the ones that stayed and most of the ones that have been discarded are excellent journalists. They just work for a company that has always been a bit conservative and is now turning fascist.
@wbpeckham
Absolutely agree. These journalists of the article, I have little argument about whether they have done the job. However, #GE believes it has no accountability to the ppl who have been faithful to the network. We can call them on it.
I stopped watching MSNBC when they fired Joy Reid.
Racist shits.
@Edelruth
Me too and it is so hard not to watch Rachel and Vali and Lawrence . . . I think to myself, "Oh well. Reading is better for your brain."
