In any truly civilized society, a raging racist like Joy Reid would never have been allowed to host an hour-long program on any “news” channel, whether MSNBC or otherwise. Reid is without question the single most repugnant bigot who has ever held such a role, and second place really isn’t even close.
It has long been a source of amazement that even a hopelessly depraved fake news operation like MSNBC would continue to allow Reid such a prominent platform, hosting her show at 7:00 p.m. ET five nights every week year after year. Surely, I’ve often speculated, there must be someone in management at NBC News who is as horrified as anyone that this raving lunatic occupies a full hour on MSNBC’s prime time schedule.
