MSNBC’s new network slogan should be.. “MSNBC – The Fake News Home of Gay-Bashing Homophobes & Liars”
MSNBC Stands Behind Gay-Bashing Homophobe Liar Joy Reid After Helping to Cover-Up Reid’s Anti-Gay Posts & Lies
“Joy Reid has apologized for writing anti-LGBTQ posts on her old blog, but she still has not answered important questions about her honesty and journalistic integrity. It is striking — and disturbing — that Reid’s colleagues and her employer aren’t demanding answers about her seemingly contradictory statements on the alleged hacking. In her initial statement, Reid said a cybersecurity expert had ‘identified … unauthorized activity’ on her blog that resulted in numerous ‘fabricated’ posts. But on Saturday, Reid said her hired experts couldn’t prove it. If the (MSNBC) network can’t be trusted to seek truth in its own organization, how can it expect its viewers to trust it to seek truth from the highest levels of the government?” – Huffington Post Writer Hayley Miller
MSNBC helped Joy Reid cover-up the latest round of gay-bashing anti-gay homophobic posts that Reid posted to her personal blog, and spread lies about the origins of Reid’s gay-bashing anti-gay homophobic posts to try and mitigate the damage to the MSNBC network.
- Joy Reid claimed that the Wayback Machine Internet Archive had been hacked to edit her posts that had been archived on the website.
– This was a lie and proven to be completely false. - Joy Reid claimed that her blog had been hacked, and that someone had been posting these gay-bashing anti-gay homophobic posts right along-side her own real posts for years.
– This was a lie and proven to be completely false. - Joy Reid and her lawyer claimed that they had proof that Reid’s website had been hacked, and content changed.
– This was a lie and proven to be completely false.
Joy Reid has been proven, on multiple occasions, using her own words, to be a gay-bashing anti-gay homophobe, and a compulsive liar, but MSNBC has decided to stand behind lying skank Joy Reid anyway – That’s definitely NOT integrity!
It would be one thing if there was some question whether Joy Reid was telling the truth or not, but Joy Reid’s laughable claims have been completely debunked and proven to be falsehoods of a completely untrustworthy liar, which were designed to deflect the anger and backlash that Reid should rightly receive.
Now that I think about it, Joy Reid fits right in at MSNBC – the network and their gay-bashing anti-gay homophobic-supporting employees are untrustworthy liars, specializing in spreading fake news, and cannot be trusted.
In case you were curious about Joy Reid’s future at MSNBC, the network’s PR team proudly touted the ratings ‘win’ of her weekend show in an email sent out Tuesday. A network spokesperson also told Mediaite that MSNBC’s executives remain supportive of Reid, and her show will continue on its current schedule.
That’s despite Reid’s bizarre and nonsensical response on that very show this weekend to a trove of anti-gay posts that were unearthed from her now-shuttered blog The Reid Report, posts she initially claimed were fabricated and inserted into her website by a nefarious hacker who wanted to tarnish her reputation. And that’s despite those hacking claims being presented without a shred of viable evidence.
When Mediaite first reached out to MSNBC for comment on a number of homophobic posts unearthed from Reid’s blog, the network released a statement from Reid in which she claimed that an “external party accessed and manipulated material from my now-defunct blog, The Reid Report, to include offensive and hateful references that are fabricated and run counter to my personal beliefs and ideology.”
“Now that the site has been compromised I can state unequivocally that it does not represent the original entries,” she added, dumping mud into the waters.
While our requests for evidence to support these claims were met by the network with silence, NBC eventually circulated a statement from Reid’s cybersecurity expert, a consultant named Jonathan Nichols. Also released was a letter from Reid’s lawyer claiming the FBI was investigating the alleged hack.
The cybersecurity expert’s statement was quickly called into question for the dubious nature of much of its claims. Shortly after its release, The Daily Beast — a website that employs Reid as a columnist — published its own thorough and damning investigation of the statement.
The investigation, carried out by cybersecurity reporter Kevin Poulsen, challenged Nichols to provide evidence to support his conclusion that Reid’s blog was hacked, as well as claims some of the anti-gay posts circulating online were manipulated screenshots. Each piece of evidence he provided was examined and dismissed.
Eventually, Reid’s lawyer conceded that the Internet Archive, a website which took contemporaneous screenshots of Reid’s blog, was not hacked, as previously claimed.
“That means the supposed hacker was posting alongside Reid for years,” Poulsen wrote. “That’s an extraordinary claim, and so far the bits and pieces of evidence offered for it have not stood up to scrutiny when they’ve been specific enough to test.”
