Joy Reid's show The Reid Out has been canceled by MSNBC after her inflammatory social media posts and constant progressive, anti-Trump rants unsettled network bosses. The network is seeking to foster a less biased-sounding liberal news network and recover from bad ratings. Reid's commitment to promoting ultra progressive causes made her an easy target for criticism as the network tries to overhaul its programming. MSNBC executive Mark Lazarus wants to change the perception that Republicans cannot get a fair shake from the network by moving to a more palatable progressivism. Reid's three-decade broadcasting career has been marred by multiple controversies, including homophobic and anti-gay remarks, and sharing conspiracies about Donald Trump's assassination attempt.
