Um, Phil Griffin, call your office because you might want to actually do something this time about AM Joy host and MSNBC favorite Joy Reid.
Early Wednesday evening, BuzzFeed News reporters Joseph Bernstein and Charlie Warzel published a piece revealing that she had published a March 22, 2006 item on her website, Reidblog, that encouraged readers to check out a 9/11 truther documentary called Loose Change 9/11.
Bernstein and Warzel note that easily-debunked, conspiracy theory-laden documentary “was produced in part by Infowars’ Alex Jones, alleged that the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center were in fact planned by the American government.”
Here’s the full transcript of Reid’s post (thanks to the Wayback Machine):
I might have posted this before, but there's an updated version of a documentary now called "Loose Change 9/11." The fundamental question is: do you believe the official story of 9/11? If you do, great. If you don't, then everything that happened after that is called into serious question. Even if you're agnostic, or you tend to believe that al-Qaida attacked the World Trade Center and Pentagon and that the government had no warning such a thing could happen, it's worth taking a second look. Here's the link.
Let’s reiterate Reid’s second-to-last line: “It’s worth taking a second look.” Are you kidding me?
The BuzzFeed News reporters stated that “[n]either Reid nor MSNBC responded to requests for comment.” They added:
The “Loose Change” post isn’t the only skepticism on her blog about the attacks that killed 3,000 people. In a March, 2006 post titled “Flashback: September 30, 2001,” Reid’s blog notes that the US government identified the plotters suspiciously soon. It then repeats common truther questions about the collapse of building WTC 7, which was not hit by an airplane.
(....)
MSNBC and representatives for Reid have both pointed to an ongoing federal investigation into the hacking allegation to defer more questions about the host’s claims.
One has to wonder if Reid will chalk this up to same homophobic, time-traveling, Web hackers who, according to her, planted posts on Reidblog that contained homophobic smears. They were of similar tone to old tweets questioning the sexuality of former Bush campaign aide Ken Mehlman and columnist Ann Coulter.
Reid apologized in December 2017, but then asserted this past April that, after more posts were found, she was the victim of cybercriminals who concocted these attacks and placed them on her now-defunct blog.
Of course, there’s been zero evidence to bolster Reid’s claims but she maintained on April 28's AM Joy that “I genuinely do not believe I wrote those hateful things.” After addressing the controversy, she deflected to a liberal panel where one guest suggested that, if Mike Pence were President, gay people would be in concentration camps.
However, Reid keeping her job wouldn’t be all that shocking. 9/11 Truther Touré has held jobs as a contributor/correspondent for BET, CNN, MTV, and MSNBC (where he co-hosted the now-cancelled show The Cycle).
Ex-NFL player Donte Stallworth was a one-time CNN contributor, former Huffington Post writer, and has frequently appeared on MSNBC. He now claims he no longer thinks the U.S. government (or anyone else besides al-Qaeda) was behind the September 11, 2001 attacks
And, last but not least, there’s Rosie O’Donnell, who’s hosted her own syndicated talk show and co-hosted ABC’s The View.
Tucker Carlson showed off Reid’s blog from 2005-2008 tonight on his show. WOW, honestly she sounds like a Conservative, says she watches Lou Dobbs on a daily basis, and said that illegals come to this country for the freebies. She hit the nail on the nail on the head what happened to that Joy Reid I would have been her #1 fan
The only thing “loose” about Joy the Clown is a few screws.
Tucker Carlson just had a segment about a blogger some years ago, quoting things that actually made sense, and it was Joy Reid!
A Crocumentary now called “Loose Change 9/11”.
Any bozo who believes this is an insensate, sub simian, one eyed, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody who was abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselfs in recognition and disbelief of what they had done.

I have to say I now do an eye roll whenever the right and FreeRepublic deem Buzzfeed and Bernstein to be accurate. Of course when he reports dirt on a twitter darling of the right, everyone pulls their knives.
Truth is Bernstein is judicious in his sourcing, and this is why there are many on the right who chat and leak to him. I recall posting a very accurate piece he wrote on Posobiec and his rape Melania stunt... everyone blasted it, except it was the whole truth as many of us on the internet had seen the original chats. When he exposed Milo’s mess, FR pulled the articles.
So, here we are: Bernstein and Warzel reporting on the darling of the left Ms Joy, who it turns out based on her early writing and posts has more in common with infowars and the christian right. I’ll wait five more minutes, and then we can all hate on Bernstein again...
They won the white house pretty simple
This kind of stuff still goes on.
This is from 2015

She’s on MSNBC where no sanity is allowed. MSNBC - Much Shit, Now Brain Collapses
Now that Joy Reid has a TV show and is pocketing serious money, she could not possibly recall the hate she harbored for “those” people (smirk).
Have you heard? NBC has tapped Joy Reid to host a townhall on the subject of bigotry.
Sounds to me like NBC is using the same strategy ABC used on Roseanne.
First you elevate then you decimate.
Is Joy Reid headed for a fall?
