Joy Reid is just effing MAGNIFICENT!

[trof]

Yeah, OK.
I'm, by far, not the first one to say this here.
But holy moley, she is just amazing.
She has the facts at her fingertips and just wipes out the right wing propagandists/talking points spewers.
She doesn't let them talk over her or Gish Gallop for an entire segment.

Long may she wave.

1. She went in on a Republican strategist this morning ...

He was on a flaming theoretical highhorse about healthcare and "letting the market " solve everything.

When Joy asked him "If the free market solves everything , why did those people make use of the ACA when it became available, why weren't they insured before?"

He then melted into a pool of gobbledygook.

2. OP is watching the re-run that is on MSNBC now

It's excellent especially when you know what is going to happen.

[JHan]

3. Did I just drop a spoiler :P

[csziggy]

4. No, that segement just finished running again

It was so great I missed the end of the Doctor Who episode running on BBC America.

[JHan]

5. I could watch it over and over again. I love the reactions on her face when she hears something dumb

It's like she's on the verge of muttering a "WTF"

[OnDoutside]

6. Yes, just finished watching it, and it was excellent...all he had was lies and a stupid "I've

nothing" fake grin.

[sheshe2]

11. Nope it is done.

She was magnificent. I never catch the AM usually the PM @ 6EST.

Brava.

[Hieronymus]

7. He couldn't stand up to Joy .. she's awesome. He's paid to lie like Kellyanne.

[flibbitygiblets]

8. She really is a national treasure, and delightful to watch.

[lastlib]

13. I much prefer her to Rachel.

Rachel's histrionics get a little tiresome. I'm not a fifth-grader--I don't need things explained multiple times with arms waving and hyperventilating. Yes, she does her research and lays out her facts splendidly, but I can do without being beaten exuberantly with them.

[Plucketeer]

15. She must have at least one more viewer than me.

At 72, I finally did make it thru the fifth grade - 12th even! And I'm a fan of hers. I like the way she makes sure the hood is on squarely, last words offered and the noose fitted just so - before the floor drops away.

Rachel, Joy and Lawrence make MSNBC worth tuning to.

[nikibatts]

26. I like the histrionics too. The context Rachel gives is much more enlightening the content at times

[Awsi Dooger]

24. Rachel is not in Joy's league

in style or substance or application of either

[BumRushDaShow]

9. She has been the only one who can leave Tweety speechless.

[Chipper Chat]

10. If she had gotten the 6pm slot.

I would have stopped everything at that hour in the future to watch.
She is that good. Shame on M$NBC for passing her up.

[CottonBear]

12. I've never seen her. I don't get MSNBC on my TV.

She sounds like a real journalist!

I'm going to find some online videos. I don't even know what she looks like!

[Auntie Bush]

14. You don't know what you are missing

Maybe she'll get Greta's 6:00 spot.

[Tarheel_Dem]

17. The 6pm slot has already been given to Ari Melber. n/t

[Plucketeer]

16. Here you go

[CottonBear]

19. Thanks!

[Nevernose]

23. Her Twitter feed is one of the reasons I joined Twitter

She had a serious combination of wit and insight!

(To be honset, though, I only agree with about 98% of what she says )

[CottonBear]

25. I'll definitely follow her on Twitter.

I just saw one of her shows online earlier today. She is very professional. Plus, there was no yelling and crosstalk among the guests.

[Hekate]

18. Wouldn't you just love to be having cocktails with Rachel and Joy?!

Cocktails are a Rachel specialty -- and the conversation would be to die for. I would be in heaven.

[Auntie Bush]

20. YES,

But I wouldn't be able to get a word in edgewise.🙂 But that's OK because I like what they have to say.

[Gothmog]

21. I love AMJOY

[northoftheborder]

22. Yes - Joy is outstanding, very informed, and does NOT allow filibustering liars to go on and on.

Yet she has a joyful, happy, good-natured underlying attitude supporting her outward strength and bravery. She does not suffer fools. A one in a million journalist.
