I love Joy Reid, but anymore I'm having to mute about half of her program every time it's aired.

She has so many right wing wackos and/or clips of Moron that I barely get to hear her commentary. That is a shame, and she needs to limit air time for right wing scum.

Joy is great at correcting the lies of these RWNJ and it is fun watching them have to shut up when confronted with facts

Then IF I am back on her program in time to her rebut them, I don't quite know what she's talking about. I would prefer she followed Rachel's model, and spent much more time giving us her opinion/THE FACTS, and less time with these Chump sycophants.

3. I thought EJ Dione did great exposing David Frum as a wolf in sheeps clothing

when Frum went off on how bad the Iran deal was.

“Let it be noted that never-Trumper David Frum has put forth the conservative position on Iran,” or something to that effect.

In other words, no matter how much you hear Frum bashing tRump, he is sitting in the wings salivating for the time when he will be able to come out and support tRump and his policies.

4. I resolve this dilemma by recording the program and fast forward through the right wingers

But my schedule allows for this. I don't need to watch her show when it's aired live. I'm just now watching it today right after it ended.

6. allowing right wingers to talk promotes their agenda. a truism in advertising is that you do not

repeat your opponents claims against you because that just reinforces those claims

I have to mute a lot of his program because he shows so many trump clips.

I haven't noticed that as much on Joy Reid though. I do love when she refutes some of those trumpsters! She is masterful.
