Why Joy Reid Leaving MSNBC Is BENEFICIAL For Black Culture | EP 069

Is Joy Reid Leaving MSNBC Is a Net POSITIVE For Black Culture?

Joy Reid’s MSNBC exit raises bigger questions about Black voices in mainstream media. For years, networks like MSNBC and CNN have shaped Black on-air talent into hyper-emotional, echo-chamber-driven commentators rather than independent thinkers. This episode breaks down how cable news has turned Black journalists into performative activists and why their coverage is often limited to race-related topics—never global or national issues. Is this the end of mainstream Black media as we know it? Or an opportunity for real, independent discourse?

✔️ The formula that turned Black journalists into characters
✔️ Why mainstream news only calls on Black voices for race-related stories
✔️ How independent Black media can break free from corporate control
