Then things got worse for the hopelessly biased, TDS-riddled outlet, after parent Comcast announced it would spin off MSNBC into a separate entity, along with other Comcast-owned outlets CNBC, Oxygen, E!, Syfy, and the Golf Channel. MSNBC’s on-air hosts were visibly shaken, with top “talent” Rachel Maddow reportedly taking an annual, $5 million pay cut.
MSNBC has only itself to blame for its uncertain future, and at the top of the list of its predicament, in my not-so-humble opinion, sits Trump-loathing, racist extraordinaire, Joy Reid, host of “The ReidOut.”
My headline tells the story. Make that one on a long list of stories about Reid’s bitter, delusional show.Â
Look, when you compare opposition to so-called “gender-affirming care” — which includes hormone shots, irreversible mutilation of minors’ bodies, including double mastectomies, and castrations — to… wait for it… Nazism in 1930s Germany, you’re more than a bit off your Trump-hating rocker. Here’s Reid:
Targeting trans people isn’t new. It is an age-old tradition which Nazi Germany did with brutally violent ends in the 1930s. While the Supreme Court refuses to do anything about weapons of war in schools, today they seemed inclined to uphold Tennessee’s ban on gender affirming care for minors.
Yeah, I got nothin’.

Reid kicked off the ridiculous segment by spewing a list of radical-leftist grievances against Trump and the Republican Party:
America’s dealing with many issues, from grocery prices to gun violence, which is the number one cause of death for kids and teens, but the one issue that Republicans successfully exploited in this year’s elections was their fear of the transgender community. Republicans spent at least, get this, $215 million on anti-trans TV ads with the most prominent coming from the Trump campaign itself.
Uh-huh. And Kamala Harris blew through more than a billion dollars comparing Trump to Hitler and his followers to Nazis. How’d that all turn out, Ms. Reid? She then attempted an analogy that was far from analogous:Â
For context, in the 50 states, transgender adult Americans make up .5, not 5, .5 percent of the population, or 1.3 million Americans out of, like, 320 million. There are a little over 300,000 transgender youths in America. That’s 1.4 percent of all young people between ages 13 and 17. That would be the numerical equivalent of the Republican Party targeting the entire city of Phoenix, Arizona, population 1.65 million, because they don’t like the desert landscape.
The point?Â
It would take just one so-called “transgender” athlete (a biological male)- to seriously hurt, or God forbid kill, a female athlete in a women’s sporting event, and I’m talking about accidentally doing so. Sorry, Ms. Reid, we’re still unconvinced.
Finally, Reid showed two headlines without commenting on their context. Then again, comparing not giving hormones to to Nazi concentration camps is beyond absurd.
Then again, we’ve known that Joy Reid is beyond absurd for years.
