Another take re: Joy Reid [View all]

Interesting perspective from Joan Walsh regarding her long standing professional connection with Joy Reid. Aside from Walsh's personal commentary having no recollections of any content like this, two points that jumped out at me:

1) The Reid Report was linked through Salon and at no point did anyone question the content in real time. The kind of stuff being attributed to her would have raised a red flag with someone somewhere but not a peep of criticism when she was a nobody.

2) The "offending" posts have no comments - kind of weird for something like this. That nobody snarked at her in the moment really makes me wonder if there ever was a moment.

I don't know if the archive pages are real but this feels a little reverse comey...I agree this chit is pretty wicked but really...it took 10 years for someone to notice this and nobody made the slightest comment about it until now. No contemporaneous commentary anywhere ? Not on her blog, or Salon's comment page...nowhere ???

Not buying it. This feels like a takedown attempt in progress and I'm glad that MSNBC didn't take the bait. We shouldn't either.
