What I love most about Joy Reid

[malaise]

You do not get to talk rubbish and lies - she will silence your sorry ass and give your the facts.

Ask Tony Binion (add)

1. If only there were more like her. She is a breath of fresh air in a stinking pool of

lies and deception.

[forgotmylogin]

12. And she's so positive and upbeat

even when speaking the hard truth.

[bresue]

2. Yes, she is.....

I added a thread...because yours was not up yet...

She is rocking!!!!!! The best ever of any interviewer so far!!! And what we need right now to hear!!

[malaise]

3. She deserves two threads

Idiots must be called out publicly and he's a lying idiot.

[calimary]

20. Hell, she deserves two timeslots!

And why not? Ali Velshi and Stephanie Ruhle have more than one show. Combined they get three hours a day, Monday through Friday. And there's still somehow no room for Joy Reid, full-time?

I'd say start complaining on @msnbc

Joy Reid is THE BEST interviewer in the news business. She does not suffer fools. She does not allow the "Gish Gallop" to continue, where some CON starts running off at the mouth and filibustering their wrong-wing talking points. She doesn't even allow a guest to try to slip in phrases like "the democrat party" or "my democrat colleagues" or "the democrat bill." I've seen her stop the conversation cold and gently but firmly correct the offender - "now, c'mon. We don't say that here. It's 'Democratic Party'..." etc. I REALLY love and appreciate that. That's bothered me for YEARS.

That's another thing I fantasize about doing, in my fantasy job as News Chief at MSNBC: imposing a new rule. Thou Shalt NOT Allow Guests To Get Away With Saying "Democrat Party" And/Or Other Such Derivatives. Obey this or lose your show.

23. Agreed

4. Health market in the US has not been a free market for the last 70 years...

Health care has been able to dictate prices to the consumers...and we have no negotiating powers as consumers! Talk about monopoly! Where are the anti-trust laws? Where are price controls to make it fair to the consumers?

5. Joy knows of what she speaks. She won't dodge a debate. nt

[Hieronymus]

6. Joy Reid is the best. She knows her stuff and shuts up those who don't know or lie.

[hedda_foil]

7. I lo e the way she shuts them up by talking to them like their strictest teacher..

You know, that teacher who won't let anybody get away with sloppy thinking... the one who embarrassed them for spouting unsupported nonsense. That's why she can shut them up without anybody yelling or gish galloping over her.

[malaise]

8. It's hilarious to watch

It's almost an art form

[FM123]

21. and she is a master artiste

[bresue]

9. Now she is ripping apart bible thumpers

who extort and steal from people hiding behind religion to con millions out of their money

[Greybnk48]

10. I love her! She does not suffer fools or liars. n/t

[stopbush]

11. These RW bs spewers are not used to being confronted for their lies.

Experience has shown them that the MSM will let them say anything, unchallenged. If a contrary voice is offered, it becomes a he said/he said false equivalency.

Joy will have none of that. She is prepared to take on the bsers on live TV. Obviously, her research team knows each bser's spiel, and she uses that to drive their lies under her feet.

13. Listening to NPR this morning. They let some SOB tell lie after lie about the ACA

and said nada.

And I was thinking "go on the Joy Reid show you lying SOB."

[PatSeg]

14. This is what people

were attracted to during the election season, finally someone who would shut people down, who were spouting prepared talking points, instead of answering the questions. She is sharp as a tack, though I wish she wouldn't talk so fast at times. It can be exhausting, sometimes less is more.

[mimi85]

15. I really like Ari Melber, however

I wish they'd given Greta's spot to Joy. She really deserves a weekday spot. BTW, adios Greta! I can't believe anyone thought giving her a show was a good idea.

[Mickju]

16. Agree

[eleny]

22. I have a different take on this decision that I'd like to share

Joy Reid is so smart, her personality so enthusiastic and her debating skills so keen that a 2-hour slot is a better framework for her. I believe her approach is too big for the confines of a one hour broadcast. Two hours gives her the time to have effective roundtable discussions and to bring back certain guests so they can talk about new topics and help her tie them together with what they discussed earlier in the program. What's better than longer discussions with Malcolm Nance on two segments.

I was sorry to see her replaced Monday to Friday. But her approach blossoms in the two hour format. Now she can even catch her breath during the ads.

I rarely get going early enough in the morning to catch her show live. So when I watch the recordings and breeze through most commercials I get an in depth C-Span feeling. It's an education and a treat. This morning's offering was so good I may watch it again this evening. Her analysis was on fire during the health care segment.

JR has made the weekend important viewing because otherwise I'll lose out on some of the best analysis and skewering of right winger talking points.

17. She is great!

Certain people should be afraid to go on her show.

[mountain grammy]

18. I listened to that this am.. she was great, as usual!

[H2O Man]

19. I have the highest

respect for her.
