Who can deny that 2025 continues to be the year of unexpected changes in politics and media. In a shocking, but then again expected move from MSNBC, Joy Reid’s series “The ReidOut” was canceled after five years on the network, leaving a glaring hole in MSNBC’s lineup as they continue to reorganize after losing viewership after the 2024 election.

The Joy Reid era at MSNBC is over. The liberal commentator, who will be leaving her 7 p.m. weeknight show amidst a larger shakeup, was perhaps the network's toughest critic of Donald Trump, delivering blistering critiques of both the president and his voters.
