The mainstreaming of Gretchen Carlson - All is NOT forgiven! - AMJoy Producers take note!

[TeamPooka]

I've had it up to here (holds hand up to forehead) with the MSM normalization of Carlson after she left Fox News.
She was harassed by Ailes so I'm supposed to forgive her years of lies and bullshit on Fox news against the truth?
No.
Nope.
Not gonna happen here.
Today Joy Reid had her on to discuss harassment issues.
She's had her on before.
She is asked only about harassment.
She spent years lying and manipulating the truth and her viewers to the GOP plan.
Irag War, she was in on that Bullshit. Bush's destruction of economy? She was the head Cheerleader!!!
No one has ever called her out on stuff like, oh, like this:
http://www.cc.com/video-clips/ahba3f/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-gretchen-carlson-dumbs-down

Carlson is selling her damn book and the MSM is helping, no questions asked.
I want penance.
She's cashed her Fox News paychecks for years and now her payoff too.
Until Joy or someone really grills her on her complicit-ness to Fox News GOP agenda and guilt there and she spills it all about that, I don't want to hear one fucking word from this woman about her harassment.
She and Megyn Kelly can both go to Hell.

Joy Reid should not have this woman on again until she accounts publicly for her years of lies.
Please, Joy, please.

1. I completely agree.

[emulatorloo]

3. Joy Ann Reid did not attack Jane Sanders on twitter.

She attacked Bernie for being physically dismissive of women.

Let's keep DU fact based.

[whathehell]

18. How was Bernie Sanders "physically dismissive" of women?

I don't know what you are referring to.

[emulatorloo]

25. I am referring to what Reid said in her tweet. Let's argue about what Reid actually tweeted.

Rather than claiming she "attacked Jane Sanders". She did not attack Jane Sanders, she criticized Bernie.

[whathehell]

37. I understand..

Thanks.

[melman]

4. Not to mention the homophobic blog posts that were recently uncovered

Very ugly stuff.

[7962]

12. Wow, had to look that up. Surprising to see. nt

[melman]

20. There have been a couple of threads about it

But it's been dismissed as a right wing smear. Of course.


She put out a pretty half-assed apology a couple of hours ago.

http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/joy-reid-apologizes-homophobic-blog-posts-1202629278/

[7962]

35. Seems like thats become the instant default; "right wing smear".

If thats the case, then why would she apologize!!?

[melman]

36. Yeah that and 'Russian bots'

Good question. I'm not sure how the apology fits in to all that.

[TeamPooka]

5. This is not about Joy it is about Carlson. Joy's show is just one example of those doing this with

Carlson now.
I mention them because they are one show that I love and respect who should aim higher.

[Demsrule86]

7. No she didn't...and I agree with what she said.

[Skittles]

8. I cannot stand her

fucking repuke tool

[Alice11111]

9. I've thought the same thing every time I see her face.

What, is she suddenly the Pure Madonna because she finally stood up for HERSELF, one thing in her life she got right? Oh yeah, she made all of this money, for things women suffer through every day.

She was a Liar, hypocrit, extreme RWer. She told lies all day for lots of money and took down good people.


I'm glad Fox went down w a few sex harassment claims, but GC is no heroine.

[not fooled]

10. Maybe

she is appearing in order to work off the balance of her contract after her show on MSNBC went downnnnnn in flames.



Edited to add: got my former faux news femmes mixed up. I was surprised how much better G. van S. was looking.

[oberliner]

17. When did she have a show on MSNBC?

[whathehell]

23. She never had a show on MSNBC...

You're thinking of Greta Van Sustern.

[calimary]

11. If you really feel strongly about this, DU is no place to keep it. It needs to be SPREAD.

Spread out FARTHER than here.

Tweet to Joy. Tweet about THIS. Add @msnbc at the end of your tweet. Then it'll go to the main network. OR add one of the other shows to it - so THEIR teams see it too.

Email or hell, snail-mail it to the MSNBC brass. Or to the regular ol' NBC brass.

They've already tried shoving Greta Van Susteren down our throats. Happily enough, that didn't last long. Megyn Kelly is still in place and probably happy as a clam that Matt Lauer's gone since he seemed to be one very large and loud voice against her. And I've actually read that Carlson's people have been exploring possibilities for her on the air at NBC.

If you feel strongly enough, SPEAK UP! DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

IF THEY THINK YOU DON'T CARE, THEY WON'T EITHER!!!!!

Twitter seems to be a good way to get to folks like these directly.

[BadgerMom]

13. +1000

And Megan, too.

[JI7]

14. Who said you need to forgive her for anything? She is there to speak about a specific

Issue that too many women have to deal with.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

19. Thank you.

[TeamPooka]

24. So then we can have Kevin Spacey on just to talk about "how to be an actor?"

I mean if we are picking and choosing what people represent on the screen when they appear then they can have David Duke on just to talk about laundry and keeping sheets white in the wash.

[JI7]

26. Stupid comparison. Carlson didn't sexually abuse anyone.

[TeamPooka]

28. I think using her a spokeperson for this issue is stupid too.

[JI7]

30. Why ? Sexual abuse is commited by people the left and right. And victims can be of any political

Background

[TeamPooka]

27. It's not like they aren't a lot more other women out there with more credibility than her that

can also speak about this issue with similar experience
Find them

[JI7]

29. She wad a victim of it. She dealt with it. Her credibility on this issue is not in question

[TeamPooka]

31. she has no credibility on any other issue so using her on this one is questionable

Use the lady who lied for years to the American public as your hero
Enjoy it

[TeamPooka]

32. I meant to say champion here, not hero

[JI7]

33. They aren't talking about other issues. And she called out trump when he attacked al franken

[yuiyoshida]

15. tweeted this to @JoyAnnReid

on twitter.

[Pepsidog]

16. Absolutely correct

[Duppers]

21. Oh my.

That after this:
https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029919609

Joy, Joy, Joy! How I respected you!

[oberliner]

22. She stood up to one of the most powerful men in the world

And has helped to pave the way for this current wave of people coming forward.

Holding powerful men accountable for sexual harassment (and worse) is critical and cuts across all political persuasions.

[Hortensis]

34. Reid shouldn't have given her even one exposure.
