Turns out that what we see and hear on NPR, PBS, etc. is an intentionally toned-down version of just how liberal they really are. Makes you wonder what they'd be like if they let their true progressive flags fly: a live feed of Cuban government TV, with occasional features from Venezuelan Public Broadcasting? On MSNBC's AM Joy today, Maria Hinojosa said: "The government supports the Corporation for Public Broadcasting that supports public media, which is independent. Although oftentimes kind of bends over backward to show that they're not too progressive, precisely because they don't want to be caught on that...

And on today’s episode of “Lefty Celebs Say the Darnedest Things,” Mark Ruffalo is using his pull to gin up support for anti-Semitic professor and ex-CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill: Criticizing the actions of Israel is not anti-semitism. Since when is advocating for human rights a fireable offense? Join us in standing in solidarity with Dr. @MarcLamontHill....

A number of old posts from Joy Reid’s blog “The Reid Report” have disappeared from the “Wayback Machine” internet archive as of Friday afternoon.... TheDC linked to the two archived posts from blog.reidreport.com, “Blitzer’s bias,” and “The flag bearers” on Thursday, however the links were no longer functional by Friday afternoon. Trying to search either post gives the message “Page cannot be displayed due to robots.txt.”

Yesterday Ed Morrissey wrote about Joy Reid’s support for a 9/11 Truther film and I wrote about her Photoshop of Sen. John McCain as the Va. Tech shooter. Both items were uncovered from her old blog, the one she recently claimed was hacked. The hackers must have been busy because yesterday the Federalist also uncovered several blog posts suggesting Reid is not a big fan of Israel. In one post she agreed with former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when he suggested Israel should be moved to Europe: I hate to admit that Mr. Amadinejad has a point … but...

NEW YORK — Michael Lucas, a gay pornographic film actor and director, is calling out what he says is “hypocrisy” and a “double standard” in the entertainment industry. Lucas charged “two sets of rules” are being evidenced by the swift firing of Roseanne Barr over racist remarks while NBC has remained silent in the face of liberal MSNBC host Joy Reid’s alleged and admitted anti-gay comments as well as significant questions about Reid’s claim that her controversial blog was hacked. Speaking to Breitbart News in an interview, Lucas labeled Reid a “lying homophobe.” Lucas is founder and CEO of Lucas...

Joy Ann Reid‘s old, supposedly hacked blog that was first reported on by Mediaite is apparently the gift that keeps on giving, as BuzzFeed News dug-up an old post today in which the MSNBC host likened Senator John McCain to a mass shooter. The October 2007 post, which was published on the now-defunct Reid Report, is titled “Baghdad John Strikes Again” and features a picture of Virginia Tech shooter Seung-Hui Cho but with the head of McCain squarely edited on top of his. “Republican presidential candidate John McCain told workers of small weapons factory that he not only wants to...

Conservatives on Twitter lashed out following the swift cancellation of Roseanne Barr's hit ABC program after here racist tweet, citing a double-standard in entertainment for those who are conservative or support President Trump. The right-leaning critics took particular aim at ESPN’s decision to hire Keith Olbermann and MSNBC’s continued employment of Joy Reid. Both have made provocative comments in the past. ABC canceled Barr’s show after she wrote a tweet that referred to former Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett as a product of the “The Planet of the Apes” and “the Muslim Brotherhood.” Olbermann was recently hired by ESPN for...

On her MSNBC show AM Joy, Joy Reid lined up her supporters on the radical gay left to change the subject from her anti-gay blog posts from a decade ago to the usual MSNBC hysteria. Brandon Wolf of the Dru Project repeatedly attacked the "homophobic psychopaths" in power and even suggested if he were ever president, Mike Pence would "have us all in concentration camps hoping to pray away the gay." BRANDON WOLF: I just want to cut through it all and keep it very real with people about what we’re up against. We have homophobic psychopaths running the United...

The host says she doesn't think she wrote the posts, but admits they don't seem to have been hacked. 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. "But I can definitely understand, based on things I have said and have written in the past,...

MSNBC host Joy Reid has tried to douse the controversy surrounding homophobic posts that an Internet archive search found on a blog she managed more than a decade ago by claiming hackers had manipulated the blog to insert offensive material. In a statement Monday to Mediaite, Reid claimed an “unknown, external party” accessed her now-defunct blog and added “offensive and hateful references that are fabricated and run counter to my personal beliefs and ideology.” Reid claimed she discovered the hacks after she began working with “a cyber-security expert who first identified the unauthorized activity.” But Reid’s claims have been met...

The LGBTQ advocacy group PFLAG on Tuesday rescinded the Straight for Equality in Media award it had given to MSNBC host Joy Reid, owing to her past writings about gay people. Reid had apologized in December for comments she made about then-Republican politician Charlie Crist, but in recent days other posts from her blog "The Reid Report" have come to light. In these posts, Reid expressed qualified support for basketball star Tim Hardaway saying he "hates" gay people, although Reid has denied authorship of these posts. PFLAG National bills itself as "the nation's first and largest organization for lesbian, gay,...

10 years ago when she was a relatively unknown journalist in Florida is immaterial. She's said worse things since becoming a national fixture at MSNBC (none of which landed her in hot water with her network). A small sampling: After President Trump won the election, Reid declared that rural Americans are "the core threat to our democracy." She attacked Rep. Steve Scalise while he was fighting for his life after being shot by a Bernie Sanders supporter. Reid falsely claimed that Trump was hiring minority actors for his rally in Phoenix, Ariz. She dismissed the murderous MS-13 as "a gang...

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...

They say doctors make the worst patients. Seems they have no problem diagnosing others and proscribing solutions, but fall short when it comes to following the advice they dispense. Liberal pundits suffer from the same problem – they love diagnosing others but don’t like it when it comes time to take their own medicine.Joy Reid is the latest liberal to be exposed as not living up the standards she insists other achieve. The MSNBC personality is quick to accuse anyone who doesn’t share her progressive views of being a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, an Islamophobe – you name the...

In a 2007 blog post, MSNBC host Joy Reid attacked TV host Rosie O'Donnell using misogynistic and fat-shaming language and defended future president Donald Trump. After Reid apologized for old homophobic blog posts in December 2017, her blog "The Reid Report" was effectively taken off of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine thanks to an exclusion request added by the website's operators. But a mirror of the Wayback Machine operated by the Library of Congress remains unaffected, and several of Reid's posts are still visible on that site. In a January 9th blog post, Reid weighed in on the celebrity feud...

RUSH: So I’m just watching CNN. The Drive-By Media is going bonkers today over the nomination of Ronny Jackson to head up the VA. Now, for those of you who don’t know, Ronny Jackson’s a White House physician, and he’s the guy that gave Donald Trump his last physical and raved and raved and raved about Donald Trump’s health. And the Drive-Bys and the Democrats immediately began to attack his fairness and integrity, veritably accusing him of lying about Trump’s health, accusing him of making it up, accusing him of being partisan. ow his nomination to be head of the...

Joy Reid has falsely implied that the accusations of sexual misconduct made against Bill Clinton by, among others, Paula Jones and Juanita Broaddrick, have been "adjudicated" at great public expense to be false. On her MSNBC show this today, Reid said: "Was Donald Trump careful when he and his friend Roger Stone brought the accusers of Bill Clinton — something that was adjudicated into the tens of millions of dollars by the American taxpayer -- he brought those women to one of the debates just as a way to troll Hillary Clinton. I don’t think that he was being careful...

Often-misinformed MSNBC star Joy Reid is under the impression that international criminal gang MS-13 isn’t a major issue and the only people that have even heard of the thugs are regular viewers of Fox News. During Tuesday’s State of the Union address, President Trump kicked off the immigration portion of his speech by detailing the horror of two teenage girls who were killed by MS-13, an international crime gang comprised mainly of El Salvador immigrants, while their parents were in the building. “Two precious girls were brutally murdered while walking together in their hometown,” Trump said. “Four men associated with...

> SNIP < Reid's comments referred to Trump's mention of the gang in the State of the Union -- the part of the address where he acknowledged the family. Another pair of parents who also had a child that fell victim to MS-13, Evelyn Rodriguez and Freddy Cuevas, were in attendance and received recognition. "He gives a speech tonight, in which he makes it sound like the biggest issue in the United States, the biggest threat is MS-13, a gang nobody that doesn't watch Fox News has ever heard of. So he makes it sound like they're the biggest threat,"...

MSNBC host Joy Reid is known for her outlandish and ugly statements full of factual errors, but last night during the State of the Union she took things to another level. During President Trump's speech, Reid said American institutions like church, police, the military and the National Anthem are all from a bygone era that should be forgotten
