Last week MSNBC announced that was making some changes in their schedule. Among them was the cancelation of Joy Reid’s “The Reidout.”<\/em> That news was met with disapproval and disappointment from longtime fans of Reid and loyal viewers of the network.<\/p>\n

This week MSNBC elaborated on their schedule changes. And the news has both pluses and minuses. Which in itself is problematic, There is no time for minuses. These are times that demand a staunch commitment to progressive media and the voices that will resist the all too apparent march toward totalitarianism by Donald Trump and his StormTrumpers. We don’t need a press corps that mirrors the one that Trump favors in Moscow.<\/p>\n

The news from MSNBC<\/a><\/strong> reveals more of what the lineup will look like in the coming weeks. The most notable changes are the previously announced departure of Joy Reid, and moving Jen Psaki to weekday primetime Tuesday-Friday. Rachel Maddow will continue on Mondays after the first 100 days of the Trump Regime.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the current cast of “The Weekend”<\/em> Alicia Menendez, Michael Steele, and Symone Sanders-Townsend), will move to weekdays at 7:00pm ET. The old Weekend show will get three new anchors, including Jonathan Capehart. A second version of “The Weekend”<\/em> will air later in the day with Ayman Mohyeldin as one of the co-hosts. His solo show will end. As will “Jos\u00e9 D\u00edaz-Balart Reports”<\/em> and “The Katie Phang Show.”<\/em> Both of them will remain with the network.<\/p>\n

Among others remaining, Ali Velshi will expand his weekend show to three hours. Ana Cabrera, Chris Jansing, and Katy Tur will all add an hour to their weekday programs.<\/p>\n

It is impossible not to notice that all of the canceled programs were those with people of color as hosts (Reid, Capehart, Mohyeldin, Phang). However, it would be premature to conclude from that that prejudice was the primary reason for the cuts. Some of the new programming also features people of color (Capehart, Mohyeldin, Sanders-Townsend, Steele), albeit in shared roles that are not fully disclosed yet.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Trump was busy ignoring any presidential duties that he hasn’t yet delegated to his co-president, Elon Musk. He was up late Sunday night whining petulantly<\/a><\/strong> about MSNBC on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>. He raged in his hallmark infantile fashion about “Lowlife Chairman of ‘Concast,’ Brian Roberts,” “mentally obnoxious racist, Joy Reid,” “seriously failing Rachel Maddow,” and “LOW IQ Con Man, Al Sharpton.”<\/em> Then he closed his rant saying that…<\/p>\n

“This whole corrupt operation is nothing more than an illegal arm of the Democrat Party. They should be forced to pay vast sums of money for the damage they\u2019ve done to our Country. Fake News is an UNPARDONABLE SIN!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If Trump were truly concerned about biased media in the service of political parties, why hasn’t he said anything about his Ministry of Propaganda – and primary pool for recruiting his administration’s staff<\/a><\/strong> – Fox News? However, this isn’t the first time that wannabe dictator Trump has decreed that MSNBC, and other credible media, is somehow engaged in illegal activities and shouldn’t be allowed to exist. For instance…<\/p>\n
