2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Joy Reid is doing what all journalists should do. [View all]
She interrupted a GOP guest, Amy Kramer of Women for Trump, who spewed misinformation, and gave facts. In one instance the guest claimed GDP was falling, and Joy told her it is rising. Amy whined about unemployment and Joy asked her if she knew what the black unemployment rate was under Bush and Amy admitted she did not, etc.
Great job! But it's sad that this is not the basic behavior expected of everyone.
