I love Joy Reid

[malaise]

She's reminding us that Susan Collins wrote the IRS to look into the NAACP under Bush.
Tell them sis.
Rev Al is kicking ass today!

1. I really like her too. Calm, cool, collected and loaded with facts...n/t

[malaise]

3. And always smiling

This IRS 'scandal' is bullshit.

[hrmjustin]

2. I wish they would put her on at 8 pm

[malaise]

5. She's be way better than Chris Hayes at prime time

He was great on Saturdays and Sundays but he is not cutting it at prime time

[AndyA]

10. Joy would be perfect in that time slot!

What is it with Chris? He acts like he has to go to the backroom, or has something crawling around in his pants. He "hop sits" in his chair, like the cushion is hot and burning his buns. Then, he speaks too quickly at times which makes him hard to follow. Too animated, as well, and not doing it for emphasis the way Rachel Maddow does.

Joy is a smart person, and has none of the issues the two folks named Chris on MSNBC (Matthews and Hayes) have. She really, really should have her own show.

[Mike Nelson]

4. Me too...

...she should have her own show!

[AndyA]

6. MSNBC should give Joy Reid her own show!

Then it should move Mourning Joe to the weekends, and put Ed Schultz on in Joe's old time slot.

Oh, and slash Hardball to just one hour instead of repeating it, and tell Matthews to shut the hell up after he asks his guests a question. Also, tell S. E. Cupp to take a hike.

[malaise]

8. Nailed it

[Booster]

12. Exactly what Andy said.

[erpowers]

15. Give Her Chris Matthew's 7 pm Slot, or Give Her a Weekend Show

MSNBC could give her Chris Matthew's 7 pm time slot. There is no good reason for Matthew's show to repeat one hour after the original broadcast. Other than giving her the weekday 7 pm time slot the leaders of MSNBC could try to round out its weekend programming and give her a show on Saturday or Sunday. They could also give Goldie Taylor a show on the weekend. Giving Reid and/or Taylor a show would increase diversity at the channel.

[AndyA]

20. Giving Reid and/or Taylor a show on MSNBC would also increase the intelligence level at the channel!

Instead, they waste time on fat head Joe Scar, allow Chris Matthews to interrupt and drool for an additional hour, and allow right wing air head Sippie Cupp to open her mouth on the air, none of which do a thing for ratings. Pissing off progressives isn't going to increase viewership.

[kentuck]

7. She is good.

She should have her own show, imo.

[newmember]

9. Did the IRS do it?

[Polly Hennessey]

11. Joy Reid

She is a treasure. I listen, listen whenever she speaks.

[olivelove]

13. she's wonderful

She's probably even better not on Hardball where Matthew's ADD flusters his quests.

[titanicdave]

14. Joy Reid is fantastic

and MSNBC is lucky to have her with her intelligence and great understanding of the situation she is discussing

[JaneyVee]

16. One of the best there is.

[Beaverhausen]

17. Add me to the Joy Reid fan club

She very often brings in a point or an angle no one else has found.

[Cha]

18. Right on!

[spanone]

19. yes ms collins, that should send chills down all americans spines, right?

i can smell the hypocrisy of d.c. all the way down here in tennessee
