She can never admit she remembers writing all of it because that would mean she lied to the FBI. Awkward when you are covering Russia/Trump.

Watching AM Joy on MSNBC. The progressive host, Joy Reid has been under criticism by Daily Beast and other progressives for LGBTQ related comments in her many years old posts that were insensitive and that she took ownership of while other posts were outright vile that she maintains never writing. Joy opened her show with what I felt was the most heartfelt apology and a clear statement to her own evolution on LGBTQ issues that most all of us who are not part of that community have taken over the recent years. There is regrettably, a Franken effect that is taking place among us Liberals where every-time bacon grease is splashed upon one of us from the right we eat our own. That is how we kill our best soldiers. We as a movement need to adopt the attitude that we are all as human beings flawed but we learn and evolve over time to arrive at the correct place in history where we are today. Do that and our progressive movement will grow in strength and attain the goals we all want. Do it not and we will continue to eat our own, erode our movement from the foundation up and enable the right to prevail.

how i know it's astrotured is they keep referring to it as "heartfelt" and "genuine" and emphasizing how much she's taking responsibility for her actions, when she lied about it and still refuses to admit fault

This could have gone totally different if Joy owned up to it, apologized and got used to the fact that she's a mercenary and opportunist but that would tarnish the years she spent pounding sand to cultivate her perfect liberal image publicly. This is just so reflective of liberal attitude regarding money deciding which direction the wind blows in order to profit purely off of human rights. Liberals still work within this frame so its no wonder that they're met with disdain and scorn when confronted on real issues that have been largely sidelined because profiteering comes first and issues only evolve when its practical to profit off on it in this country. She is just a reminder of how liberals behave under capitalism and squirm when their livelihood is at stake instead of people, their considerations and their rights.

ya i dont think highly visible people in public are the best soldiers, if anything its the people, not a leader and that mentality only propagates because singling out people for leadership roles is good for marketability in late stage capitalism

The only way she would face any consequences for this is if people came down on her advertizers and forced msnbcs hand.

It's obvious everyone got the talking points to parrot and they will pull her out of this by sheer volume.

In the end the only thing we have is further proof that every argument made against the left is in bad faith.

It really kind of suggests that one has no real faith in their own ideology if the mere loss of one person who advocated for it publicy could apparently lead to a ideology being discredited.
