On Sunday, MSNBC ended Joy Reid's show -- The ReidOut -- after its ratings tanked 60% following the election. For years, the network was willing to overlook her racist, homophobic, Trump Derangement Syndrome rants until the juice just wasn't worth the squeeze.
The freak-outs came yesterday, along with the accusations that MSNBC is just plain old racist and misogynistic.

And MSNBC bought it.
They were shills for the Democrats and now they’re gone.
