I like Joy Reid and enjoy allot of her outlook and commentary, but, man, she takes as many swipes

[Nexus2]

at Democrats as Mehdi Hassan.

[FakeNoose]

1. I think she considers it "tough love"

[Nexus2]

9. Very possible, considering that one of her favorite sayings in "scaring it caring". [nt]

[malaise]

2. No one takes swipes against Dems like Medhi (unless you're watching Fox and RW nutters)

He annoys me big time and his pompous tone makes it worse. I switched to Cooper when he tried to cut off Congresswoman Madeleine Dean as she was showing the difference in values between ReTHUGs and Dems using Cuomo, Trump, Gaetz et al

[spooky3]

3. I agree, malaise. I thought he would grow on me, but he hasn't.

[Me.]

7. I Never Watch Mr. Rant-A-Thon

after a couple of look sees

[underthematrix]

4. As someone who watches her show religiously, I find I enjoy it best on mute.

I expect her to get better as her program matures. I just have to be patient.

[Deuxcents]

5. I might be different on this issue

Sometimes a kick in the butt can be a good thing. I watch not to tickle my ears.. I watch to be informed and maybe a different view to inspire. I don’t always agree but it does get me thinking

[chillfactor]

6. Of the afternoon and evening lineup on MSNBC..

Joy is my least favorite.....I often mute the audio when she is on.

[Raine]

8. I gave up on Joy long ago

I tried to like her but I just don't and I guess I never will so I avoid her show.

10. Criticism of Democrats doesn't phase me much.

If I think that it isn't warranted, I ignore it. If there is some validity, I look for what the critic's expectations are and whether they are reasonable.

Reid has some good qualities to her reporting and she can also be hyperbolic.

[Paladin]

11. Joy Reed is a step up from Ari Melber.

But that, of course, is a classic "Damning With Faint Praise" comment.

MSNBC could do with a nice, thorough house-cleaning. Ditching Chris Matthews was a good start, but there's still lots of room for improvement.
