I should have added that Joy Reid has given some voice to critics of the US-Israel crucifixion of Gaza. That’s also probably part of her axing.
I refer in my talk to this recent PSR:

Sanders’ Iowa City speech two days ago:
“Bernie Sanders Warns Iowa City About Rise of Oligarchy Power” — a darkly amusing title for the video from Forbes. I remember John Edwards campaigning here and across the state against billionaire and oligarchy rule in 2007. Edwards used to talk about “the two Americas”: the one percent and the ninety-nine percent (for real, four plus years before Occupy that was his language). I remember an Occupy Wall Street encampment three blocks from my house in IC in the late summer through the early winter of 2011. I remember speaking out against One Percent domination of the US in Iowa City’s Ped Mall that fall (2011). I remember the escalated corporate takeover of the Democratic Party in the second half of the 1970s - something you can read about here (look for the chapter with “Cartlerland” in the title) and here. Here’s my own post-Occupy book on US capitalist oligarchy back in the day: They Rule: The 1% v Democracy (2014).
