Lefty MSNBC superstar Rachel Maddow staged an on-air tantrum after the cancellation of her colleague Joy Reid's "The ReidOut" over the alleged racism of the move.
Maddow lashed out against her network after the firing of anchor Joy Reid, stating, 'Both of our non-white hosts in primetime are losing their shows... That feels indefensible and I do not defend it.'
However, the article calls into question her commitment and suggests that if Maddow truly believes in equity, she should quit and start a new network.
The piece critiques the focus on diversity in journalism, arguing that Maddow's complaints highlight both her frustration and potential hypocrisy regarding the representation of non-white journalists.
