15. I am beginning to have a problem

Jan 2020

with Joy Reid. Her show today on Pete Buttegeig was terrible. Twenty minutes of negativity. I then remembered that Michael Harriot from the Root tried to do a smear job on Joe Biden a couple of months ago. I wonder who he will target next: Mayor Bloomberg; Tom Steyer; Bernie Sanders; Andrew Yang. I tape her show but seldom watch anymore for all the reasons already stated. I watched this morning because I was astounded at the one-sided segment on Pete. No more, I’ll tape Ali Velshi’s new show on before her. Joy Ann has become biased. I also discovered that Henry Gates, Jr., is a co-founder of The Root publication. Joy Ann was a Root reporter at one time.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
