highest praise for Joy Reid from MSMBC..... she held a smug, lying

republican congressman's feet to the fire just now.

she would NOT let up, and was clearly prepared with the facts to dispute his BS. it just ended, and if this will be repeated as part of tweety's show (whose time slot she filled), it's must see TV

she was the most impressive advocate for the truth I've seen in long, long time

her marshaling of facts in the face of invidious, kneejerk partisanship was very heartening, something I've not seen ANYwhere else.

anybody else see that?

My husband said she would get fired "just like those great ladies... Melissa and Alex"
He's an old coot, but he had a little crush on Alex Wagner.

Back to Joy. Unlike some, she will counter back when they sit there and lie.

Just found it and watched. She was great. Specifically, she didn't let him get away with lies. Let's see how long she lasts... This guy, who expected the usual MSNBC play-along with anything related to HRC, probably went straight to MSNBC management to complain.

average citizens' priorities so that she herself wouldn't have to push her producers to prioritize coverage to be more progressive.

Even if she didn't, his rant about poor coverage on today's report on veterans' services should still have that effect on the newsroom.

Reid is a pleasure to listen to, is fastfast with the followup questions and isn't havin' any bs.

it makes clear who is following facts and who is fabricating. She is good, and by that I don't mean she can match the lying, confusing, polarizing, low rhetoric of the gop...she stays above that.

...interview with Desjarlais.

And tv talkers are going to need to repeat this over and over and over, because the right-wingers are going to keep trying to lie about it over and over and over...
