We must rally around Joy Reid

Joy Reid deserves everyone’s support. The most destructive and insidious hacker in journalistic history is on the loose, ready to snatch another career. Reid, who hosts “AM Joy” on MSNBC, is somehow hanging onto hers. On Saturday morning she addressed the controversy relating to a stack of homophobic posts that piled up on her long-shuttered blog, the Reid Report. “I genuinely do not believe I wrote those hateful things because they are completely alien to me. But I can definitely understand based on things I have tweeted and have written in the past why some people don’t believe me,” said Reid on “AM Joy.” Who are these disbelievers? What more evidence could they possibly demand to prove that Reid was wronged by some bad actor who spent years inventing a new form of hacking just to create the impression that she wrote a few more offensive things in the 2000s than she was willing to admit to? Isn’t that what hackers do these days? When has anyone ever made up a claim about hacking anyway?

“i read the article..i think its satire and the author is mocking Reid and msnbc”

Yep, and admittedly the headline got me. Whom would have thunk that The Washington Compost would allow that to be published. Jeff “Dr. Evil” Bezos will have an Editors head in no time.

I know the article is satire, but I really DO hope the Left rally around her and continue their unbroken string of doing everything possible to sabotage themselves.
