But it's quite clear you avoided answering, and it's quite clear the reason is you knew there wasn't a good way to answer.

Either way looks bad. You obviously can can't say it would be okay...but you can't say it wouldn't be okay because then you'd have to explain what makes it different. Which you couldn't do. So you just ducked the question.

Of course you've now edited but anyone can see the original post I responded to simply said "I would say it's not comparable. Still"

Highlight:

As a gay man watching Joy Reid discuss Northam is kind of surreal [View all] dsc Feb 2019 OP

I don't watch her anymore because of that janterry Feb 2019 #1

I only watch Maddow when she is on, don't bother watching any other network program nt yaesu Feb 2019 #34

As a straight man, I was thinking the same thing. stopbush Feb 2019 #2

I used to watch her now i'm watching Gunsmoke. dem4decades Feb 2019 #3

sort of like ...... a wall..... pangaia Feb 2019 #28

She extensively apologized. nt UniteFightBack Feb 2019 #4

No she didn't dsc Feb 2019 #5

Did she ever finally admit that there was no hacking? oberliner Feb 2019 #8

To my knowledge no dsc Feb 2019 #10

I don't go out of my way to watch her and I definitely don't look at her the same. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2019 #12

I rarely watch her but did make a point to watch her today dsc Feb 2019 #15

It is so hard to be morally true. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2019 #16

Not directly. She said she cannot prove her account was hacked still_one Feb 2019 #56

Maybe she should revisit that subject oberliner Feb 2019 #61

Northam has apologized for this photo as well oberliner Feb 2019 #7

He should have claimed his yearbook was hacked and the FBI is looking in to it. Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2019 #11

Or someone went back in the Hot Tub Time Machine and forced him to do it. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2019 #17

His "that was not me in the photo" potential statement is sort of like that oberliner Feb 2019 #24

When he got caught, my understanding is Reid showed remorse BEFORE those post were brought up again uponit7771 Feb 2019 #33

Naw. demmiblue Feb 2019 #13

So she stands by the hacking claim? oberliner Feb 2019 #25

I didn't realize her explanation was so preposterous Awsi Dooger Feb 2019 #45

"and I'm not the person I was then"....wow Demonaut Feb 2019 #46

As a gay woman, I completely agree. cwydro Feb 2019 #9

When I turn on Rachel show and Joy is the sub, I turn off immediately, but not because Joy is not empedocles Feb 2019 #14

She is not in elected office. cilla4progress Feb 2019 #18

It doesn't matter. People like to take these hard line positions. Yup she said something I didn't UniteFightBack Feb 2019 #19

NO that isn't what we were saying dsc Feb 2019 #21

I choose to look at and focus on the 99% she gets right. Bottom line she is one of the good UniteFightBack Feb 2019 #23

Yes, it DOES matter. People are free not to watch her. Virginians are NOT FREE to turn off Northam. pnwmom Feb 2019 #37

but what if Virginians still WANTED him to be Governor ? would that be reason for him to stay ? JI7 Feb 2019 #54

Not at this point. An opinion poll wouldn't cut it. Are you aware that the Florida Secretary of pnwmom Feb 2019 #55

Why should we have different standards treestar Feb 2019 #63

Good point. borgesian Feb 2019 #20

Owned up to it, sure. namahage Feb 2019 #47

He's lying. Iggo Feb 2019 #66

It's pretty obvious you didn't watch his press conference. lunatica Feb 2019 #49

I'm straight and I agree with you rollin74 Feb 2019 #22

A lot of the things being said today are relevant to other forms of bigotry. yardwork Feb 2019 #26

I think Joy's shows are excellent but you raise a very spooky3 Feb 2019 #27

I began wondering last night why we seem ready to dflprincess Feb 2019 #29

Equating racism and racist behavior? HipChick Feb 2019 #30

It is certainly more acceptable here on du. Tipperary Feb 2019 #51

As an ally I will not watch her. MuseRider Feb 2019 #32

Last I checked Joy Reid wasn't holding elective office. People are free not to watch her, pnwmom Feb 2019 #35

Thaaank You! djacq Feb 2019 #38

So if tomorrow we found out that Sean Hannity dsc Feb 2019 #40

I would say it's not comparable to the Governor. Still. pnwmom Feb 2019 #43

That wasn't the question melman Feb 2019 #59

I wasn't talking to you. n/t pnwmom Feb 2019 #60

I didn't say you were melman Feb 2019 #62

That's a real dodge treestar Feb 2019 #65

Tulsi Gabbard is running for President. treestar Feb 2019 #67

LOL. You must have missed it. Others complain that I post way too much pnwmom Feb 2019 #68

I missed that. But good to be consistent. treestar Feb 2019 #70

LOL! Straw man! Like Maddow, who is gay, would lunatica Feb 2019 #50

She is under contract with MSNBC. She was assuredly one of their key players when this came out. Mr. Ected Feb 2019 #36

Why I care less about what Joy Reid said than I do about Northam's Goodheart Feb 2019 #39

Oh, but it is very different - don't you know. Ms. Toad Feb 2019 #41

I won't watch her Raine Feb 2019 #48
