MSNBC Absolves Joy Reid of ‘Hateful’ Writings
Breitbart ^ | June 1, 2018 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 06/01/2018 1:04:33 PM PDT by C19fan

MSNBC issued a statement Friday absolving host Joy Reid of writing “hateful” blog posts — and does not address the FBI investigation that Reid claimed to have initiated in April while claiming that a hacker wrote politically toxic sentiments on her old website The Reid Report. “Some of the things written by Joy on her old blog are obviously hateful and hurtful,” the statement reads. “They are not reflective of the colleague and friend we have known at MSNBC for the past seven years. Joy has apologized publically and privately and said she has grown and evolved in the many years since, and we know this to be true.”

Too nice to Jews? Does this dim-witted idiot even realize that Wolf Blitzer’s parent were survivors of Auschwitz? Maybe Joy Reid is getting a pass due to her single digit IQ.

THE DAILY BEAST EXCERPT-——MSNBC Staff on Joy Reid: Enough Apologies, We Want Answers

Though she apologized for a new series of old, hateful posts, she and her bosses haven’t explained her dubious claim that she was hacked. People inside 30 Rock are fuming. Multiple staffers pointed to how Reid was roundly mocked online when—amid outrage over Roseanne Barr’s racist tirade—daytime host Andrea Mitchell asked Reid, without irony, “What do you have to do on social media to get fired from a top rated show on an American broadcast network?”

MSNBC and Joy Reid on Friday both finally commented on the latest round of hateful old blog posts unearthed by various outlets. They did not, however, address Reid’s initial and unsubstantiated claim that the posts were fake.

And more than a month after the controversy began, many of Reid’s MSNBC colleagues are embarrassed by the network’s handling of it.

Neither statement mentions Reid’s thus far unsubstantiated claim that a hacker somehow inserted all of the offensive or questionable blog posts onto her site. Nor does either statement update on the alleged FBI probe.

MSNBC declined to comment for this story.

The network‘s failure to address that dubious hacking claim has irked many inside 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Several employees who spoke to The Daily Beast—on condition of anonymity so as not to jeopardize their employment—said they were largely unimpressed with the statements, noting that many questions remain conspicuously unanswered.

“Everyone in the building is laughing at the idea that it was a hacker,” one MSNBC staffer told The Daily Beast.
“It’s just a joke,” said another employee.

Other staffers who spoke with The Daily Beast expressed a growing sense of alarm about how this ongoing saga may damage MSNBC’s reputation as a news outlet.

So a vile leftist can apologize and “evolve” but not someone who plays a right winger on TV but isn’t really one? Got it.
