2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumhighest praise for Joy Reid from MSMBC..... she held a smug, lying
republican congressman's feet to the fire just now.
she would NOT let up, and was clearly prepared with the facts to dispute his BS. it just ended, and if this will be repeated as part of tweety's show (whose time slot she filled), it's must see TV
she was the most impressive advocate for the truth I've seen in long, long time
her marshaling of facts in the face of invidious, kneejerk partisanship was very heartening, something I've not seen ANYwhere else.
anybody else see that?

(41,832 posts)My husband said she would get fired "just like those great ladies... Melissa and Alex"
He's an old coot, but he had a little crush on Alex Wagner.
Back to Joy. Unlike some, she will counter back when they sit there and lie.

(28,795 posts)msnbc is very user unfriendly, to my crap computer, anyway
couldn't find anything on youtube, and msnbc wouldn't load for me
check the shows for tweety reruns....that's when it'll be on again, as she was subbing for him
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)Just found it and watched. She was great. Specifically, she didn't let him get away with lies. Let's see how long she lasts... This guy, who expected the usual MSNBC play-along with anything related to HRC, probably went straight to MSNBC management to complain.

(36,066 posts)average citizens' priorities so that she herself wouldn't have to push her producers to prioritize coverage to be more progressive.
Even if she didn't, his rant about poor coverage on today's report on veterans' services should still have that effect on the newsroom.
Reid is a pleasure to listen to, is fastfast with the followup questions and isn't havin' any bs.

(7,814 posts)it makes clear who is following facts and who is fabricating. She is good, and by that I don't mean she can match the lying, confusing, polarizing, low rhetoric of the gop...she stays above that.
...interview with Desjarlais.
