2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumJoy Reid knocks it out of the park again!
Right now, she has Malcolm Nance, General McCaffrey and Carl Paladino (Trump surrogate) on her show, and she is kicking Paladino's ass to the curb!!!!! Wish I could post the clip!
On edit: Paladino was saying disparaging things to Gen McCaffrey ("Where did HE get off the bus" after the General said Trump was a danger) and Joy said (paraphrase) "I won't let you disrespect a triple Purple Heart winner."
She then asked if the General if he chooses to respond, but also said it was okay if he didn't, since responding would dignify the comment from Paladino.

(15,805 posts)TPTB should showcase her and move her show to primetime so more people can see her in action.

Joy is a national treasure. Absolutely love her.

(4,640 posts)because I was asleep. But, I'm watching the rest! Got up JUST in time to watch her kick Paladino's ass, and then proceed to tear apart that Heidi radio person.

I have not watched it for decades but would definitely never miss it.
I love the split screen they used to show Joy's reaction to those bloviating idiots.

(5,624 posts)she'd be great on that vs what we have now..........perhaps we should start a draft Joy to MTP movement....

(22,874 posts)I think Rachael is awesome too.. but maybe because I watch her 5 times a week (Rachael), Joys' weekend shows just are more powerful.. and the two hours on Saturday, you would have to pry me out of the house, never miss them..just awesome..

(1,907 posts)and actually follows through to try to get the answer. I love it. The dipshit surrogates get away with not answering the questions too many times on other shows.

(24,653 posts)she and her team all do high-fives.
She answered back, "Mostly we collapse from exhaustion... and if we're lucky? Boozy lunch!"
What's not to love. Cheers Joy!

(81,189 posts)where she wouldn't let the Hillary hater rattle on with his half-truths. Just talked over him, giving him a scolding, and wouldn't let him continue.
I was half-awake, but STILL, I found myself saying "keep going, girlfriend! Don't let him get away with it. Attagirl! Step on him. Keep it up! Keep going! Keep going!" She was almost combative. She did NOT let him get the last word.
She's done this before, too. Quite a few times that I've seen. She'll jump right in there and correct their lies and distortions, butt in right on top of them sometimes. She MAKES them stop. She'll keep at it until they stop - or give up. As far as I've seen, she's the ONLY one who does that - anywhere. She just won't let them continue. And there's NONE of this "well, we're gonna have to leave it there..." crap, either. That's one particular pet peeve of mine. To me, that denotes a lazy interviewer.
Like Wolf Blitzer did, the other day, for example. He sat there and let Katrina Pierson blather on about how Captain Khan's death was the fault of President Obama and Hillary Clinton. He SAT THERE, like a big fat cow pie, and let her carry on. And then "had to leave it there." WITH NO CORRECTION. Just let that stand. Evidently somebody in the control room mumbled into his ear piece that - "um, Captain Khan died in 2004. Obama wasn't even President when he was killed." After the break, the idiot came back on and THEN, somewhat haltingly, with his HORRID breath-control problems, more or less corrected the record. But Katrina was long gone by then. So the correction after-the-fact meant very little, and certainly didn't hit home with her.
I HATE HATE HATE the way these so-called news "professionals" just let stuff stand. When it's patently and provably and in some cases GLARINGLY untrue. Maybe they think they're somehow being "objective" by letting this person have his/her say, and then letting that person have his/her say, and - THERE! See? We've been objective! Both sides-both sides! And all that! I've been totally fair. Chuck Todd has that disease, too.

(1,325 posts)Joy is acting like a real journalist - a big no no in our fawning corporate media these days. When one pundit starts acting like any sane person would, the powers that be tend t knock them down. Hope she stays for a long long time.
