Fired from MSNBC for Calling Gaza a Genocide

Written By The Fenton Forecast

Joy Reid

On this episode of Agitation Nation, host David Fenton talks with journalist Joy Reid about her 2025 departure from MSNBC, which came largely over her coverage of Gaza. Reid discusses the text message that signaled her firing, why she believes newsrooms practice self-censorship on Israel-Palestine, and how AIPAC-aligned spending shapes Democratic Party politics. The conversation also covers Zohran Mamdani and the DSA's rise, a troubling modern echo of lynching history, and Silicon Valley's growing political power. Reid now runs an independent show and Substack.
