R24/R26, you miss the point by a mile. Knee-jerk responses to obvious hit jobs are not helping anyone's cause.

Is she being fired for stuff she may have posted years ago (did MSNBC not vet her before hiring her?), or for maybe lying about it now? Either reason is pretty weak.

She apologized for certain comments before. She says she was hacked now. Why on earth is MSNBC even "considering" firing her before anyone has had any chance to really look into this?

This is sad because I really enjoy her show, but it is indefensible! The blind lefties here screaming, "But what about FOX NEWS jerks!?" are really as tragic as advertised. There is no place on a reasonably liberal (fact-based) network to employ a homophobe who lies about it with these sad excuses of being "hacked". She's guilty like Franken was guilty. He NEVER denied the claims, and got out before the stories finished multiplying, as they were by the day.

"The internet stuff"? You obviously haven't read the comments. Which simply described the homophobic feelings of most heterosexual men and their ideas about gay stereotypes.

Hannity and Ingraham fan the flames of homophobia and racial resentment every single day. They energize and encourage right wing voters to continue to fight against equal rights. 30 yrs of Fox News and right wing talk radio gave birth to the Tea Party and now Trumpism. Trump will appoint hundreds of anti gay federal judges who will maintain their positions for life. Fox News, Hannity and Ingraham and the rest do more damage in an hour than a blog post from 2006 stating that heterosexual men think gay sex is gross and they believe that gays are predators, could ever do within 10 lifetimes.

The Republican Party adopted a historically anti gay platform in 2016. Republicans elected a homophobic white supremacist (who stated that he would appoint anti gay rights judges to the federal courts) president. But you and the other right wing trolls care so much about homophobia that you must insist that Joy Reid be banished from the air waves, because you're being threatened by blog post talking about homophobic heterosexual men . And you're threatened by what may have been a lie. Meanwhile Fox News and Trump tell lies all day everyday. Speaking of liars, does Brian Williams still have a show? Speaking of bigots, does Roseanne Barr still have a show?

I need for liberals to grow a back bone and stop taking the bait from conservatives. Gays being used as pawn or a tool to do the dirty work of the conservatives, who hate us, does not serve out interests. None of this serves our interests. Right wing Republicans are the only winners here. And as long as liberals continue to take the bait and destroy each other with bullshit purity politics. Guess what? Right wingers will continue to dig, continue with the hit jobs and continue to win.

Hopefully this won't cause a riff with more hesitant black voter who Democrats need to win. And who were encouraged to move past some of Hillary Clinton's problematic statements and actions and support her anyway. But division is what Republicans want. Divide and conquer.

Your "questions" are based upon your misinterpretation and misrepresentation of the bog comments. However, I don't believe that black people have the luxury of pretending that bigotry doesn't exist. So if the comments stated that many whites hate black skin or many believe that blacks are criminals. Those are realities that black people know to be true. White supremacist bigotry is very prevalent. Its not like black people aren't constantly reminded of it everyday. Gays, many of whom are closeted. don't get the same wake up call that black people get daily. So perhaps its easier to be shocked, particularly if you are younger, at someone having said (over a decade ago) that heterosexual men believe that gay sex is gross and they believe that gay men are predators. Keeping in mind that Bush and Republicans were running on a platform that included a constitutional ban on gay marriage around that time.

Again this is just more right wing baiting. They did the same thing with the super predator meme. Most black people din't take the bait. They supported Clinton anyway.

I'm suggesting that anyone who is offended by the idea that heterosexual men find gay sex to be "gross", probably does. The rest of us hold no such illusions about heterosexual men.

Yes I disagree with your bullshit and you can't actually argue the facts so I must be a "frau".

I'm not sure what you are, gay, straight, man or woman. But judging by your comments. You've never experienced bigotry and you have absolutely no idea about how peoples lives are threatened and diminished by it.

[quote] No, just fight to tackle DL's bigotry. Joy should try to fight hers in the reflective time after her dismissal.

Um hm. What should Roseanne Barr and Brian Williams reflect upon as they enjoy continuing to rake in millions of network dollars? And yes defunkt blog posts from a decade ago that can no longer be accessed through normal searching are much more of a detriment that the shit that's accessible and posted all day everyday here.

by Anonymousreply 98April 26, 2018 9:44 PM

You ignore the argument (that Joy stated that she herself felt disgust at seeing two gay men kiss) and instead just copy and paste your comments over and over.

If there’s a brilliant surgeon who has helped many people, short people as well as tall people, but then a tape of him emerges in which he says he finds short people ridiculous, should he be fired?

Who's the psycho trying to get Joy fired? He/she seems desperate to try to stage a source of "movement" against an msnbc host. Sorry sweety, must straight people including your mother get uncomfortable seeing two men kiss.

Even the countless straight men that dabble into gay sex rarely kiss at first.

Joy fucked up royally when she went down the go-to "I was hacked!" narrative. Had she been upfront and apologized for the comments and gave a touchy-feely spiel about how she's "evolved," no one would have blinked.

She will be terminated for lying and that sucks because I like Joy, but she has to answer for the disgusting shit she's said.

She did apologize, and nobody has proven yet that her newer unearthed posts were or were not manipulated. So far nobody has come out and said they remember Joy Reid posted homophobic comments 10 years ago on her blog. Reid herself called for an investigation into the matter and the FBI is involved in the investigation was well.

No way this story would have had this many fervent anti Joy Reid commenters on DL if the smear campaign against her wasn't pushed by Russian troll accounts.

Everybody on here has engaged in mocking closeted gays, ESPECIALLY when they are republicans.

This is 2016 all over again, a concerted effort to take a staunch democrat down.

If MSNBC fires her, I'm done with MSNBC.

Democrats and liberals are already in short supply, and I'm tired of losing the few we have to dirty tricks. Ever since the Repugs tricked Dan Rather, we've been getting fucked by Republicans and various useful idiots willing to go along with purity politics, all while Repugs themselves are nasty hateful cheating scum who are rarely (if ever) called out on it.

There isn't an example of her being homophobic since 2009, or of her being transphobic since 2010. I don't like what she said a decade ago but I also don't expect anyone to have been perfect their entire life, especially when the entire culture around them wasn't perfect, either. There are inconsistencies in the archiving and posts themselves, and I don't believe for a second that a black woman would risk jail time and a huge public career by filing a false report with federal authorities.

by Anonymousreply 114April 28, 2018 12:29 PM

I don't see how MSNBC can fire her but keep Chris Matthews. Chris Matthews has a long history of discriminating against women and sexually harassing them. NBC inve$ted a lot of money in $hutting up all the women that Matthews perved on over his very long career. NBC worked very hard to keep Matthews aboard and they should have done the same thing for Joy.

No, R116, that's the standard that was set by MSNBC/NBC/NBC Universal. NBC also worked very hard to keep Matt Lauer and only folded because a woman walked into their office with her attorney and a recording. Up to that point, they had been fighting tooth and nail for Lauer.

I have stopped watching her show on weekends and changed the channel when she subbed for Maddow last night. Hayes, O'Donnell, and Williams all had interesting guests and covered all the bases. Williams gave Steve Schmidt an open mic and unleashed the beast and he was brilliant. His riffs on Trump and every skeevey skell in his cabinet and the spineless toadies in the Senate and the House are always impassioned and spot on. BTW, Kornacki, who was no where to be found for months has been on every day subbing for everyone and his brother. Coincidence? I think not. Also, Capehart has been a frequent guest too after being gone for ages. I'm wondering if they going to offer Thomas Roberts another chance at hosting his own show again. MSNBC execs are nothing if not woefully predictable.
