Im going to coin a phrase regarding Joy Reid

I’m going to call it the “Franken-staining of progressive icons”.
At what point do we learn our lesson here?

Is watching DUers who eagerly jumped at the allegations against Franken and instantly took them as fact, calling those who defended him misogynists, be so quick to believe Joy Reid’s side of the story without a hint of doubt even though it has a dog ate my homework vibe to it. Situational ethics much?

That said, I don’t think Joy is a homophobe, but I don’t think she’s that interesting either. Sort of overrated tbh and definitely not worth all this hullabaloo.

Especially when holding the losers accountable.

I am heartsick at whatever pain she is going through now.

A few negative posts about anything or anybody and nobody questions anything posted or their sources... It seems that not enough of stop to consider that what we're reading is propaganda...

The Russians don't target only Trump voters with propaganda, you know!
