Controversy in Workplace Conduct and Media Shifts

Political commentator and television host Joy Reid has been fired from her position at MSNBC, where she anchors her show The ReidOut. The move comes as the network is restructuring its programming.

Among other changes at the network, Symone Sanders Townsend, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez, who currently co-host The Weekend, will move to a new weekday program. And Jen Psaki, a former White House press secretary under the Biden administration, was moved to a primetime weekday slot.

Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the changes afoot at MSNBC and the real reasons behind Reid’s firing, along with some of the “greatest hits” during her tenure at MSNBC.

Plus segments with foreign affairs expert John Mearsheimer on his 2015 prediction about Ukraine coming true, the Trump administration’s dramatic reversal on Ukraine policy and what a possible peace deal over Ukraine might look like.
