2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumTHANK you, Joy Reid!
I am certain that the media's recent discovery of their backbones is largely due to Joy Reid's fierce fact-checking and always polite but firm "I don't have time for your bullshit" challenges to lying liars.
It's really nice to see them trying to do better the last couple of days. Let's hope it lasts.

(1,779 posts)Joy is very delightful, and sure is worth watching on the Weekend. Great for her and for the MSNBC evening lineup (maybe other than the TPP, net neutrality -- but baby steps on these -- and some not so baby!
Very good Joy et al!

(2,674 posts)My same thoughts, none of the so called journalist had the guts to call those surrogates. Joy showed them how to do it and some of them took a lesson from her.
She is a shinning light in normally dismal cable reporting.

(36 posts)and give Joy his slot. I'm so tired of his asking a question and then completely talking over the person who's trying to answer. I'm sure he's still patting himself on the back for getting birtherism back out in the open. I hope it turns out badly for Trump but I know a lot of people tuned in today and instead of seeing a travesty they saw the "great businessman/developer" showing off his newest creation while surrounded by war heroes kissing his ring. To use one of his words, disgusting!

(8,000 posts)We stayed in on weekends because everyone else was out and we didn't want to add to the crowds. TV was crap. Now I look forward to seeing Joy on Saturday and Sunday mornings. It's like a breath of fresh air to watch her. She is awesome!
