On Saturday morning, five days after Joy Reid was accused of authoring a series of homophobic blog posts that were unearthed by a Twitter user, the MSNBC host apologized for the controversy but said that she still doesn't think she wrote the posts in question.
"Here's what I know: I genuinely do not believe I wrote those hateful things," she said on AM Joy. (snip)
On Monday, when Mediaite asked Reid about the blog posts, she said "an unknown, external party accessed and manipulated material from my now-defunct blog." On Wednesday night, her lawyer confirmed the FBI was investigating "potential criminal activities surrounding several online accounts" belonging to Reid.
But, on Saturday, Reid admitted that the posts don't appear to have been the result of hacking or tampering.
"When a friend found them in December and sent them to me, I was stunned," she said "Frankly, I couldn't imagine where they'd come from or whose voice this was. The reality is they have not been able to prove it."
To further get across the message, Reid convened a panel of gay rights advocates to discuss the controversy.
While she didn't take credit for the blog posts, she admitted that she's written and tweeted hurtful, anti-gay things in the past, and pledged to do better. "I looked back on some of the ways I've talked casually about sexual gender and orientation and I wonder who that even was," she said.
Reid continued: "I'm heartbroken that I didn't do better back then. The reality is I have to own the things I've written and tweeted and said."
Now that Reid has admitted that she doesn't appear to have been hacked, it's unclear what will happen to the FBI investigation into the matter.

You just keep telling yourself that, Joy.
Well, if she doesn’t believe it, she gets a pass, right?
Typical leftist thinking: The truth is whatever you believe it is.
Above all else, they are never guilty of anything.
Well, here’s the thing, Joy... you say mean things all the time. You just think it’s okay if the target is someone you still hate.
Geez, lady. Just own-up, apologize, take your lumps and move on. Stop acting like an idiot teenager
Didn’t Carlos Danger do this as well? Get the FBI to investigate a “hack”?
One of N ignorant progressive sl*ts.
Where N is a very large number.
I see what you did there. No bad.
Hope you are doing well.

Lesson 1- The Gay trumps the Black
Lesson 2- The Muzzie trumps the Gay
You're bottom rung of the Leftist totem pole (a little native american lingo there).
There’s always the substance abuse rehab angle, as a last resort.
Not bad, dam it.
I hate this spell check, keyboard and I have fat fingers.
It’s rough I tell ya.

Is it possible to believe or not believe something, and your belief to NOT be genuine?
The addition of unnecessary words like this is one sign I notice that suggests the person is lying.
I don’t identify as a homophobic bigot so I’m not one
Seems like it’s time for a trip to rehab, always a convenient excuse for bad behavior that draws sympathy instead of condemnation.
Is this a first?
A simultaneous lefitst self denunciation / exculpation.
As Spock would say — fascinating.
