I will give you though that repugs toss out so many lies it's hard to keep up.

I think she HAS to cherry pick the biggies and let the rest go.

She repeatedly said "That's not true" and when he just talked over her repeating the same lie she not only corrected him, she threatened to shut him down. And I've seen her do it again and again, far more than any other person on any network.

A Trump surrogate implied Jesse Jackson supported Trump because Trump had rented Jackson office space in Trump Tower years ago. Joy smelled bullshit, and had her staff get Jackson on the phone right as the show was on air. Jackson was on his cell phone, and it was hard to hear, but he confirmed that, although he appreciated Trump renting him office space, he is not a Trump supporter. HA!

I missed the primary coverage due to a long vacation but was told she was pretty anti-Bernie.

Commenting on her fairness is probably a good topic for a thread you could start.

lies she's going to call you out. Doesn't care who you are stomping for. She and Reverend Al are all I watch on MSNBC now. I lost respect for everyone else on there because they let their conservative guest walk all over them
