A great deal I'm guessing.

(16,919 posts)Jane Sanders quote on Joy Reid:
"I didn't answer your biased reporting about Bernie during the last 2 years"
Since when do candidates think they get to "answer" reporting as if they get the last say and only their "answers" matter. It is really a huge clue as to the mindset behind all this.

But why was she talking that crap to begin with?

Are you going to stand against Joy Ann Reid & with some of the people that brought us the Donald Trump Show - Tucker Carlson, Breitbart, Wikileaks, & Glen Greenwald?

(52,129 posts)she is claiming she didn't write them.
TheSmarterDog
(794 posts)All the evidence points to her not writing them. None of her followers remember them, none of her editors remember them, they don't match her expressed views at the time, they have no replies, she was on the air working when they were supposedly posted, they're not written in the same style as she used, they used different wording, etc etc etc.
This whole thing is a set up.

(52,129 posts)I am not saying the evidence is conclusive that she did but her team is on record as saying that those posts were on her blog. Two different archives are on record claiming that those posts have been archived at different points in time and from different locations. Those are certainly not evidence she didn't write them.

(16,919 posts)is suspiciously coordinated. There is ample evidence of this on other threads, other articles and an interview from Malcolm Nance about the dark web and viciousness of the attacks on Joy Reid because she does not fawn over Bernie.
"We now witness a carefully orchestrated media campaign by the far left and the far right.,,,"
Poster Gothmog has been posting this informative article:

(52,129 posts)but he or she didn't. Reid is on record as saying the posts are from her blog. Both archives are on record as saying that the posts were backed up from multiple locations and multiple points in time. Are they part of this vast conspiracy as well.

Below is a thread by DebbieDee of the Stephanie Miller show with Malcolm Nance explaining the dark web and how it is used to attack. The video is in the first posters reply.

There is another thread by poster mia which has information related to the hacking.
I think you might be missing some data about the sequence of events. Malcolm Nance explains how "Black Propaganda" deals with inserting false info into small kernels of truthful happenings. You can Google more of his literature on this. It looks like Joy Reid admitted to some long ago postings about Chris Christie and from there, an attack has been woven out of whole cloth.
Seriously, to make fun of a black female media person being targeted is a bit naïve if you can't see from the info already posted here that she is being attacked mostly because the Bernie bloggers don't like what she says about him. And the Mueller indictments should put to rest the mocking of "conspiracies" related to the Russian hackers. Both Bernie groups and the alt-right have a vested interested in attacking Joy Reid.

(794 posts)That's a real pathetic attack. Try again
dsc
(52,129 posts)her lawyer is who is saying the posts came from her blog. That is one of the piece of evidence I was discussing.

(24,110 posts)If not, we should be outraged, just for different reasons. I give her the benefit of the doubt and will wait for all the facts to come out. (Wish we had done that in Al Franken's case... sigh)

(24,110 posts)To my knowledge, evidence to the contrary has yet to be presented indicating it was not a hack job... as long as that's the case, Joy deserves our full support. The outrage should be directed at those who do such a thing.
