Joy Reid deserves everyone’s support. The most destructive and insidious hacker in journalistic history is on the loose, ready to snatch another career. Reid, who hosts “AM Joy” on MSNBC, is somehow hanging onto hers. On Saturday morning she addressed the controversy relating to a stack of homophobic posts that piled up on her long-shuttered blog, the Reid Report. “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 and have written in the past why some people don’t believe me,” said Reid on “AM Joy.” Who are these disbelievers? What more evidence could they possibly demand to prove that Reid was wronged by some bad actor who spent years inventing a new form of hacking just to create the impression that she wrote a few more offensive things in the 2000s than she was willing to admit to? Isn’t that what hackers do these days? When has anyone ever made up a claim about hacking anyway?

Stalinists lie. Always
It is completely unfair to hold Leftist agitators to ANYTHING they said yesterday or last year or last century.
History begins anew every day.
What we’d call an Orwellian nightmare is actually a Stalinist nightmare.
Stalinists lie. Always
Are these people kidding me ?
Seriously ? An entire publication has come to her defense ?
Oh yes, it was “the worst hacker in the world. Oh wait, this hacker only hits journalists! Yeah ! That’s the ticket ! It’s only Journalists!”
i read the article..i think its satire and the author is mocking Reid and msnbc...
anyone else believe the same??
This entire article is facetious. It is a jab at Reid. Read the entire article.
No we must not! Get a rope!
see my comment just above yours and see the final paragraph, “When we asked MSNBC for an official statement, we got no such thing. And when we asked Nichols whether he’s still working on Reid’s hacking, we received no response. These people have no time for silly press inquiries. They have a perpetrator to track down.”
Who hacked the Washington Post? /S
Yes, you beat me to the post. Another example: Two people questioned the claims of Reid’s “expert” that there appeared to be tampering. They went deep into the archives for originals.
“But hey, what do Nelson and Poulsen know, anyway? The former is merely an Old Dominion University professor with deep knowledge of digital preservation; the latter is merely a longtime journalist with a clear writing style, loads of technical bona fides and what you might call a practitioner’s appreciation of hacking. “
Wasn’t this article sarcasm? I can’t tell any more. Seems the writer is a gay man, making fun of the liar Joy.
Although the article is from the Washington Post, it’s making fun of Reid’s claim that her posts were hacked, even though they sound pretty much like other statements she admitted to making around the same time period.
Something about Reid’s face just says ‘evil’ to me. She makes my skin crawl.
Lead to another article by Eric Wemple:
“Perhaps Joy Reid can thank Brian Williams
If you’re under fire for misleading the public at MSNBC, you have at least one comrade in arms. “
She is a black liberal female tax cheat of course the Wapo would rally around a pos like her
This is SATIRE, folks.
HOWEVER. if it were later in the month I couldn't get past the firewall and would walk away with only the headline, which supports Joy Reid. Clever.
I think it was DjT who just recently commented that headlines leave the greater impression.....or maybe it was TV graphics that leave the impression despite the commentary which people may or may not catch.
Good for Eric Wimple.
If it was another paper besides WaPo, maybe
Uh, no.
The article is a send-up, dripping with sarcasm. It’s pretty good!
