MSNBC’s Joy Reid is in trouble. The network’s rising star is trying to survive a controversy of her own doing that already has the Daily Beast suspending her column and threatens to do much larger damage to her career.
The trouble began when old posts from Reid’s personal blog, “The Reid Report,” came to light earlier this year in which she took unseemly shots at then-Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, calling him “Miss Charlie” and further suggesting that he was gay and “ogling the male waiters” on his honeymoon.
Another post read, “there are the concerns that adult gay men tend to be attracted to very young, post-pubescent types, bringing them ‘into the lifestyle’ in a way that many people consider to be immoral.”

It sure is tempting.
But why not be better than that? Why not give her the benefit of the doubt that her words were “insensitive, tone deaf and dumb” as she put it in December (before floating the crazy hacking theory).
Why not infuse a quick dose of forgiveness into 2018. She wrote some dumb and insensitive things. It’s pretty clear that she has changed her thinking. We do not have to embrace any of her current beliefs to bestow upon her the same forgiveness that we’d want if any of the “insensitive, tone deaf and dumb” things we’ve all said years ago now threatened to end our livelihoods.
Only if we embody the sacred concept of forgiveness ourselves, can we really attest to its existence.
Forgiveness requires repentance.
What is the big deal? She just based her opinions on what she observed. Can’t we handle the truth?
Absolutely yes!
However she is not gone yet.
Her show is on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
She cheered on the advertisers pulling out of Laura Ingraham’s show
Conservatives aren’t the ones calling for her ouster. We’re just watching, eating popcorn, and smiling.
Enjoy!!!
She’s ugly inside and out....
Truth. The ones screaming for her head are the same ones, that call Milo Yiannopolis, who is a half Jewish, Gay Brit “married” to a Black Guy a “Nazi”. LOL
For once in her life she was right, nothing to forgive.
HAHA!
And remember that her acct was hacked. /sarc
I agree with you on using the President Romney approach.
By the Russians no doubt.
Mueller can add this to his list.
I don't see enough regret yet. For another example, look up Juan Williams and NPR. See how he is on Fox after time has passed.
The Left needs to feel the pain of their "standards".
Juan Williams is merely playing his role on Fox.
It is obvious from her reporting that she is full of hatred and the past blog is just more evidence to me.
The libs just liked her because she was hateful to their targets and now hate her because she was hateful to their pet causes.
So, Boston Herald, it appears that you are authenticating the axiom that if progressives didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all.
Yup, you are sooooooo, Boston. After all, you folks forgave Ted when all he did was kill a young woman and lie about it.
Shove it.
Reid is such an ignorant, hateful, fool it is hard to imagine that she has any audience beyond the extreme!
I am sure that the FBI will get right on it.
Juan Williams is merely playing his role on Fox.That says as much about Fox as it does about Juan.
