I honestly don't think Joy Reid should have a job in journalism at all

after the fiasco with her blog posts, but she certainly should be banned from commenting upon Pete Buttigieg's candidacy. She still refuses to admit she said those horrible things. She hasn't offered anything like a genuine apology. Why should any LGBT person believe s/he could get a fair shake from Joy Reid. If Anderson Cooper posted that the NAACP recruits children for immoral activity, claimed he was hacked but offered no evidence at all, and then in his 'apology' said "I still don't believe I wrote this but I understand why people believe I did." he sure as hell wouldn't be permitted to offer comment on Harris' and Booker's campaigns.

The FBI also is investigating the homophobic posts from The Reid Report. On Wednesday, Reid’s lawyer said that an FBI investigation has been launched to probe for potential criminal activity on her site,

“We have received confirmation the FBI has opened an investigation into potential criminal activities surrounding several online accounts, including personal email and blog accounts, belonging to Joy-Ann Reid,” said her lawyer John H. Reichman in a statement. “Our own investigation and monitoring of the situation will continue in parallel, and we are cooperating with law enforcement as their investigation proceeds.”

MSNBC Host Joy Reid Apologizes For Homophobic Remarks, Admits No Evidence Of Hacking

MSNBC host Joy Reid has apologized for disparaging comments against LGBT people found on her blog The Reid Report, admitting that there has been no evidence of hacking discovered.

After earlier denying authorship of the hurtful remarks, Reid came clean Saturday at the beginning of her MSNBC show AM Joy.

“I genuinely do not believe I wrote those hateful things because they are completely alien to me. But I can definitely understand, based on things I have tweeted, have written in the past, why some people don’t believe me,” she said. “For that, I am truly, truly sorry.”

https://deadline.com/2018/04/msnbc-host-joy-reid-apologizes-for-homophobic-remarks-admits-no-evidence-of-hacking-1202378775/

She made a mistake and apologized for it. It disappoints me that she did, however she came clean and not only omitted her mistake, she apologized for it.

She could have been hacked.

She's a commentator, and she will comment. It's kind of Trump-like to dismiss her point on the ground that Mayor Pete is gay, she years ago may have said something that we don't agree with, and thus attacking her instead of her point.

We're talking about Mayor Pete now and his relationship with the city's cops and how they treat black people - has nothing to do with Reid's decades-old possible gaffes.

despite the fact that her view on LGBT and Tony Perkins of the AFA views on LGBT were barely distinguishable as recently as 12 years ago. This isn't her opposing marriage equality. She literally accused adult gays of recruiting teens. It is that message that let many, many, many gay teens suffer all alone because adult gays were afraid to help them. And she not only hasn't apologized for this, she lied about it and still refuses to admit she did it. No way, no how, someone who had views of blacks or Jews or Latinx or any other group that were indistinguishable from a known hate group and refused to even admit having posted them would be anywhere near the table to comment upon our candidates.

The fact is everyone of the candidates & the commentators on MSNBC have decades-long careers where at one point or another they may have expressed opinions which are unacceptable today.

eg: 1973 Joe Biden would not have been supportive of marriage equality. 2019 Joe Biden has a different opinion. But you have no ire available for him.

Thu Nov 21, 2019, 02:08 PM

but she didn't. She said "I still don't think I wrote this but I understand why you would think I did" Now to be fair, I don't know how I would have reacted to a real apology. I personally know gay men whose lives were ruined by that very mindset. I know of others who tried to commit suicide because adults were afraid to help them. Again, if Anderson Cooper had a blog where he said black people are rapist and thieves in the 1990's he would be unemployable, no matter what apology he offered.

Thu Nov 21, 2019, 03:48 PM
Nov 2019

I quoted it directly not once, not twice, but three separate times in this thread. I watched it when she gave it in real time and have watched the video since. Not once, does she say I am sorry for writing these posts. If you can find those words in that video, fine but they are not there, they weren't there when she said it the first time, they aren't there now. When one's entire defense is I was hacked and didn't say it, then one can't claim "I don't remember writing these posts but I can understand why you would think I did" is an apology. She literally posted that gay men are child molesters. She then lied about doing so and to this day hasn't acknowledged having done so. Why on earth should I accept that as an apology? I bet my next paycheck that if Anderson Cooper had posted on a blog that black men are rapist and murderers, said he was hacked, and then his apology consisted of "I still don't think I wrote those posts but I understand why you think I did" you wouldn't accept him being able to offer commentary on MSNBC.

DSC is against Tulsi Gabbard due to earlier homophobic statements and when I pointed out Democrats easily forgave Joy Reid DSC was consistent in that she thinks Joy Reid should have lost her job not for blog posts but for the hacking excuse.

ethnic minority I love the Joy Reid of today. Her show brings up perspectives that minorities can understand and I often find myself thinking, that after a week of watching MSNBC, she still comes up with a fresh perspective and she gives voice to minorities.

Another thing I like about her show is the incredible diversity of guest speakers. And God, help me, when I see all these ethnic guests in one place I find myself thinking, where have you all been hiding!

Yes, there are times when minorities use their political power in a way that might undermine other progressive ideals, such as the time when they gave their support to an issue that was anti-environmental in return for gains that were closer to home; but we are all learning and, hopefully, overtime, we will learn better to work together.

Sat Nov 23, 2019, 09:26 AM
Nov 2019

If I had to cut everyone out of my life that made comments about minorities that offended me, I would be living on an island by myself. I live in Central Florida and my core circle of friends and extended family members are not evolving. So, yes, steadily I am separating myself from the worst of them. Here, people just assume I have to accept their racism as an accepted pov (Because it is -- around here.) At best, people think they are being racially sensitive when they don't talk about racism at all.

Frankly, most of them are more accepting of gays than they are of minorities because we have members in our family who are gay.

I am just waiting for the day when one of them opens their eyes and realizes that when they dehumanize latin americans, they are also hurting me. Wow. That would be huge. They think that they are racially sensitive because they see me as "white." One of them. But I am more than that.

And, yes, I understand your hurt and your pain. But I also know that we need people like Joy Reid, who have the ability to evolve. To see the pain they have caused and to apologize and be a better human being.

However, I don't fault you for your anger and I don't feel my intention is to stop your criticism of her. I just wanted to bring balance to this argument so it doesn't turn into a call for a boycott.

I think back to some of our greatest activists and the mistakes that made them targets to conservatives, like Jane Fonda. So young and fell into that trap, not seeing what we all see today. I hope that we are better than the conservatives when it comes to recognizing someone's ability to change.

Surprise, I don’t watch it. I don’t like gory movies - surprise, I don’t go to see them. I don’t like boring books, so I don’t read them. It seems so easy and apparent to me.

The only thing that banning her from commenting on Pete in the age of twitter would do is make Pete look even worse to prospective black voters.

You really want to censor or cancel a rather prominent Black pundit with a highly watched show, tons of connections, and an active twitter account? You don't have to like her. You don't have to think that she's genuine at all. I thought that she was spot on about Pete last night on MSNBC, however regardless of that, this is just a dumb potential scandal for supporters of a candidate (Buttigieg, Harris, Booker, Klobuchar) polling low among black voters to court.

Jesus, what a mess.

The last thing that the Buttigieg campaign needs is every prominent black journalist, local and national, vocally coming to Joy's defense because MSNBC prevents her from speaking about Pete or they just happen to fire her months after deciding not to.
Things like this spread like wildfire and whether or not his campaign or supporters had anything to do with it will not matter when that ball starts rolling and every prominent black site reports on it. My grandmother doesn't know who Buttigieg is, but a scandal like this that ripples through the black media community would get to her faster than a Buttigieg mailer ever will. It would be on Bossip, MadameNoire, and Lipstick Alley within minutes of occuring.

Just don't give her the ratings and hope no one prominent in Buttigieg campaign decides to pick that fight. It's not worth it.

cow of theirs. Many who praised her to the sky when she was attacking Sanders twisted themselves into knots of utter logical disconnects and out wilful denialism defending her when her homophobic posts came to light. But THEN, when she had a go at Biden, all of sudden she was a 100% proven homophobe and an unfit pundit.

Situational ethics runs deep. I have huge issues with utter and blatant hypocrisy but it is here for the duration, unfortunately.

here are some great examples btw

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287135099#post93



Also, (ironically), a DU post (posted here 3 hours after she (Reid) put it up on her blog) from February 2007 (when she was a nobody in terms of national exposure, a small Florida blogger) instantly put paid to her 'I was hacked' bollocks:

the post

https://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=221x48020



and

here is an internet archive of it, they are an exact match

https://archive.is/pMYl8




That particular archive page ignores the robots.txt script blocking that Reid's tech team put up after she got caught (another sure sign of guilt btw). Her team tried to then get Internet Archive (aka The Wayback Machine, the biggest and best known one) to remove all her archives, and they refused, so she then had her tech team put up the blocking scripts from her end so when you try and see her deleted blog, it blocked you. Someone must have taken her to court and won, or IA allowd the override of her team's suppression attempt and now even The Internet Archive displays snapshots of her homophobic posts.


here is a snapshot taken the same day she put that post up

100. If she still is claiming she did not post it, then she is flat out, 100% lying and THAT really

profoundly damages her overall credibility. I do not know if she still is denying it. Even the fact she did lie and deny it at one time damages her immensely, but if she has finally come clean now, that is a start to help repair her reputation.

finally come clean.) It is a terrible look, and I really liked her and I would have instantly forgiven what she posted ages ago. People change and evolve, it happens a billion times a day on the planet. But with her ludicrous doubling down, she is done in terms of me ever trusting her for shit again.
