RACHEL MADDOW CALLS MSNBC RACISTS FOR FIRING JOY REID

RACHEL MADDOW CALLS MSNBC RACISTS FOR FIRING JOY REID AND OTHER MINORITY HOSTS. Rebecca Kutler has been officially named president of MSNBC, after dropping her interim title following Rashida Jones' departure last month.

MSNBC announced that Kutler, 45, was officially promoted on Wednesday, February 12. Mark Lazurus, who is head of the Comcast spinoff company, told staff in a memo earlier this month. Since taking charge, Kutler has successfully stabilized the network's ratings following a major post-election decline.

The recovery has been largely attributed to the network's star anchor Rachel Maddow making regular primetime appearances during Trump's first 100 days back in office. Most recently as president, Kutler canceled Joy Reid's evening show amid the network's plummeting ratings. Also this week, the network axed another three of its stars' shows after nixing Reid's program.
