MSNBC Under Increasing Pressure to Fire Joy Reid Among Increasing Talk of Rittenhouse Lawsuit

(Kyle Becker) MSNBC’s Joy Reid finds herself once again on the hot seat amid growing talk of a potential Kyle Rittenhouse lawsuit against the serial race-baiting cable news host.

The Rittenhouse trial was the ultimate litmus test of whether Reid could rescue her show from careening off the rails into low-ratings oblivion. She failed in flying colors.

There are too many ignorant and racially inflammatory statements uttered by Joy Reid in her fact-free reportage on the Rittenhouse trial to recount here. One particularly repugnant example is Reid pointing at the exonerated young man as the reason that Critical Race Theory exists (or doesn’t exist, depending on the day).

“Earlier today, the teenager accused of murdering two men and wounding a third in Kenosha, Wisconsin last year took to the stand in his own defense,” she said. “The circumstances are almost built for an actual CRT course. The white now 18-year-old faces an almost entirely white jury of his peers, with the exception of one black man, and then there’s Judge Bruce Schroeder, who has barred the prosecution from calling the people Rittenhouse killed victims.”

Kyle Rittenhouse was being treated, understandably, for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after he shot and killed two white career criminals named Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, whose father Reid even hosted while glossing over the latter’s criminal history.

Reid recklessly spun the Rittenhouse case as a racially significant trial that was a throwback to the Jim Crow era, when the facts of the case showed it was more about a young man who felt obligated to defend his family’s community from destructive rioters.

“It’s stunning, Katie, this feels like those cases in the 1950s where it was in and out, in and out, you know, somebody white male killed someone and they were in and out, fast and acquitted,” Reid said. “That’s how it feels to me.”

Radical BLM agitators had descended upon the Kenosha community after the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Federal prosecutors did not bring charges against the police officer after Blake was seen on video brandishing a knife. The facts did not stop Reid from inflaming racial tensions in that case, either.

The relative odds of prevailing in a defamation lawsuit or in procuring a hefty settlement thus go up substantially if a media figure can be shown to have knowingly espoused falsehoods to further a narrative that villainized Rittenhouse.

“That was exhibit A, B, C, D, and E right there,” Concha said. “The next chapter in the Kyle Rittenhouse story are likely multiple defamation lawsuits against not only several media outlets but also MSNBC in particular and a host named Joy Reid, who we had the pleasure of hearing.”

“As for Mrs. Reid and multiple contributors calling Rittenhouse a racist, a white supremacist and, most importantly, guilty until proven innocent… I have got four words for you: ‘Covington Catholic Nicholas Sandmann’ – who sued CNN for what, $275 million, and forced them to settle,” he added.

The specter of a defamation lawsuit is adding to reports that MSNBC executives are coming under increasing pressure to fire Joy Reid. Former Mediaite editor Jon Nicosia reported the word he got from an insider source:

The report fueled reaction that spanned from those who would approve of the job termination to those who will believe it when it happens:

The incredulity springs from having seen Joy Reid in hot water on numerous occasions prior. After past ‘homophobic’ posts on her blog were unearthed, Joy Reid initially claimed that they were the result of a ‘hack.’ Then she had to make a weird ‘confession.’

“I genuinely do not believe I wrote those hateful things, because they are completely alien to me,” she said on AM Joy. “I hired cyber-security experts to see if somebody had manipulated my words or my former blog. And the reality is they have not been able to prove it.”

Bizarre and dishonest. Then there is the awkward fact that C-SPAN’s political editor Steve Scully was placed on indefinite leave after making a similar ‘hacking’ claim when he was exposed getting presidential debate coaching from Never-Trumper Anthony Scaramucci.

“The ReidOut is having its worst quarter ever, even as its far-left host has generated headlines for attacking conservatives, flip-flopping on the COVID vaccine, and using the chaotic troop withdrawal from Afghanistan to take a shot at the United States, while defending President Joe Biden at every turn,” Fox News media reporter Brian Flood noted.

“Joy Reid is the perfect encapsulation of how partisanship can harden into pure hatred in one’s heart for each and every human being who doesn’t think and vote the same way. It’s almost demonic in the way she speaks about the tens of millions of Americans who lean right and engages in both a cartoonist and dangerous level of incitement,” NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck told Fox News Digital.

Joy Reid’s inflammatory race-baiting may be MSNBC’s “brand” right now. But her demonstrable lies may wind up costing the network tens of millions of dollars, and that’s where the network’s inexplicable loyalty to the host may come to an end.
