breaking News: The More You Reid, The Less You're Gonna Like! - News Paper

MSNBC host Joy Ann Reid with Rachel Maddow. The right wants to take down Reid. They are outraged by her anti-LGBTQ comments. The same bigots that hate her, hate the gay community.

AM Joy celebrates two years on the air.

The MSNBC show is a hit among weekend viewers. The host is an African American woman who took on issues from the left. She battled Republicans, Democrats and yes, Killer Mike. She has a following of 1.2 million on social media.

She is also controversial and the right has long complained about the "double standard."

In light of the controversial remarks on her old blog dissing conservatives with homophobic dings, should Joy Ann Reid face a boycott like Laura Ingraham and Sean "Softball" Hannity?

Yeah. Joy Reid should be boycotted for her comments. It was wrong that she used homophobic remarks targeting conservatives.

Nope. Joy Reid may have said ugly remarks in the past, but she wasn't attacking the LGBTQ community. She was dissing Republicans and conservatives who supported hateful agendas.

I don't know. If she was forgiven by those she dissed, why should we get upset over it? Some never apologize for their comments. I'll wait til something is done by her bosses before I respond.

I don't know. Joy Reid and some on MSNBC said things in the past. But if you're supportive or objective towards them. That's your right. You can change the channel or block rhetoric on social media.

The conservatives are targeting Joy Ann Reid of MSNBC for her past comments against anti-LGBTQ conservatives and Republicans.

Reid had used homophobic comments to target Republicans and conservative agitators in the past.

The Internet Wayback Machine has unearth The Reid Report, a blog created by the progressive agitator back when she was a South Florida commentator.

Now the right is hoping advertisers boycott her show AM Joy in response.

This is a retilation tactic by the fans of embattled assholes Sean "Spitball" Hannity and Laura Ingraham. Both right wing carnival barkers are facing backlash. Ingraham attacked Parkland survivor David Hogg. It earned her a boycott that cost her 45 sponsors.

The spitball lost 20 sponsors after he ran the Seth Rich kookspiracy, defended Roy Moore and failed to disclose ties to Michael Cohen, Donald J. Trump's troubled lawyer.

Reid claims her old blog was hacked by nefarious activists. She called upon most of the postings being misleading.

Reid was a harsh critic of Charlie Crist, the former governor of Florida who was then an anti-gay Republican. He since changed his way and now became a Democratic lawmaker. His predecessor is MSNBC commentator David Jolly, a former Republican lawmaker who left the party.

Reid has been on fire taking on Fox News for conflicts of interest. The minions of Spitball Hannity and Roger Stone are all over this.

Mind you, I changed on my views of the LGBTQ community. I work with them.

There are friends, co workers and family members who are LGBTQ.

Reid who is not anti-LGBT credits her mentor Rachel Maddow for her success.

While many of the comments targeted Ann Coulter, Spitball Hannity, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Mike Pence and others, Reid's post are fucked up.

The LGBTQ community should respond appropriately to her. Matter of fact, Reid will likely respond to the critics. Obviously, she controls the blog and should take full responsibility for it. I don't want to say too much about it. Reid had addressed it.

She even apologized to Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL) for the past remarks.

Yes, people hacked my blog before. They have altered things. I had my images superimposed on stupid shit.

The folks at Wayback Machine said the excuse is bullshit.  They want her to own up to the past postings and move on.

The folks at PFLAG resinded the award that she was presented. They do thank her for the support but the past comments have made them nervous.

PFLAG National—the nation’s first and largest organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people, their families, and allies—today has rescinded its Straight for Equality in Media award to political analyst Joy Reid.

Said PFLAG National president Jean Hodges, “When we extended our invitation to Ms. Reid to honor her at our 45th anniversary celebration, we did so knowing about the blog posts from the late 2000s regarding Charlie Crist. We appreciated how she stepped up, took ownership, apologized for them, and did better—this is the behavior and approach we ask of any ally. However, in light of new information, and the ongoing investigation of that information, we must at this time rescind our award to Ms. Reid.”

So any thoughts to the controversy?

Should Joy Ann Reid face the same fate as Laura Ingraham and Sean "Softball" Hannity?
