Some of MSNBC’s biggest stars are – in extraordinary on-air fashion – rebuking management’s decision to cancel Joy Reid and Alex Wagner’s shows and lay off their production staffs.

On Sunday, Reid addressed her MSNBC show's cancellation during a Win With Black Women Zoom call, saying she had experienced "every emotion" including "anger, rage, disappointment, hurt" and also "gratitude" for support received since the announcement was made.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow called out her network for dropping her soon-to-be former colleagues such as Joy Reid, Alex Wagner, and Katie Phang. Maddow also noted that the network's primetime lineup will become much more white.
