The Joy Reid matter, Part 3

There is no debate. Joy liked, but she gets away with it cuz she's a black woman.

LOL. Can't believe she's still here.

Debate not raging on.

She has been stricken from my television.

So let it be written. So let it be done.

NBC is just trying to figure out how to get rid of her.

Mark my words, she will be off TV by Labor Day.

MSNBC did not want a big kerfuffle with her black Twitter supporters, so they are giving it some time. My guess is that when the FBI issues their final word on their investigation, which proves that Joy not only lied about being hacked, but she needlessly involved a government agency with a bullshit premise ,then MSNBC will "regretfully" let her go,

I am a total atheist in every way, but could we please bow our heads and pray to the gay gods of mythology that our resident Joy defending vicious homophobe who dishes out slurs like McDonalds hands out fries, will die in a fried chicken grease fire?

Probably. R6.

Joy's ratings sharply down

Looking at this three-week snapshot, we definitely see an erosion in viewers on Saturday post-controversy. Her show saw its demo audience drop from 263,000 to 171,000 in the 10 AM hour and 245,000 to 150,000 during the 11 AM time slot. The total audience fell from 1.28 million to 957,000 at 10 AM and 1.24 million to 965,000 at 11 AM.

Sunday, however, shows things largely remaining steady, with some minor decreases. During the 10 AM hour, the total audience shrunk from 980,000 to 881,000 while the demo went from 212,000 to 197,000. At 11 AM, total viewership was virtually the same (967,000 to 968,000) while showing an increase in the demo (198,000 to 234,000).

So is Reid witnessing viewers turning away from her show in the wake of the controversy? Right now, it is too early to say, as the sample size is still too small, and one always has to take the news cycle into account during the weekend. But we can definitely see that the past two weekends have been pretty soft numbers-wise and there has been a significant decrease in audience size on Saturday. The question remains if this is just a blip or a trend.

If it's a trend, she's gone.

Since the controversy, she has subbed in on Chris Hayes and MSNBC's flagship show, The Rachel Maddow Show. What controversy?

In fact, she subbed for Rachel tonight. She's not going anywhere.

And I haven't watched either show since they took leave.

I won't watch it until they get back.

Hopefully, MSNBC will get the message.

Putting her on more, will just make me watch less.

Yes, I'm sure your one-person boycott will be highly effective.

I suggest you check the ratings for her shitty little weekend show R13, then get back to me.

Her ratings are plummeting.

Thats what they'll use as excuse to let her go.

Her early morning weekend ratings are pretty good. 200K+ viewers in the demo is respectable. Those are similar to the numbers MSNBC generates for their pre-primetime hours (Wallace, Todd, Melber) on weeknights.

Joy's show is the highest rated show on weekends and it's not even close. She even beats out Kasie Hunt's show by a comfortable margin and she has the advantage of airing in primetime.

There’s going to be a big shake up at NBC. They’ve been keeping her on because they don’t want it to look like they’re caving to public pressure. But it’ll happen.

Joy Reid does the bidding of her corporate employer, Comcast, and she is protected. If she was doing it, and doing so efficiently, she would have been fired.

Joy’s not going anywhere. So kick back and enjoy the show.

This.

And more.

I'm now starting to warm to joy.

She’ll be gone shortly.

All you need to know about these "Joy Reid is secretly being fired" obsessives is that they're repeating exactly what sites like Washington Times, Fox and The Blaze are "reporting."

In reality her ratings are the same for Sunday 10AM and a tiny bit up for Sunday 11AM, and down for Saturday.

My dead grandma could beat Kasey Hunt in ratings. R17

She can't just have "ok" ratings.
