She didn't. I agree that journalists should be prepared. In her defense, spooky3 Aug 2016 #3

She's just as guilty.

If every 'reporter' came to the table as prepared as Joy Reid does they wouldn't get away with it.

At this point - I'm really only interested in watching Reid because she is fact based and expects truth in response to her questions.

she is just coming back from vacation AND the history of Ohio early voting law since the election day fiasco in 2004 is complicated (per a quick web search that I did). However, she should have at the very least asked him to clarify what he said. If I as a non-journalist knew that what he said did not sound correct, surely everyone on the air at MSNBC and the behind-the-scenes researchers and aides should have known.

I also agree that Joy Reid is wonderfully prepared AND willing to confront misinformation.
