The MSNBC has finally decided ... This story, I swear to god. So, MSNBC finally decided to comment about the Joy Reid drama, if that's what you want to call it. The Joy Reed insanity. The woman needs to be in a cuckoo house. And no one is surprised that MSNBC has decided to make no comment. They said they stand by their troubled host. Troubled psychologically. This woman has, she has squirrels running around in her head. To me, I look at this woman ... Take it from there. Am I overreacting to this? I can't take another minute of the Joy Reid story, where she's on tonight. She's on like nothing happened here. Give us the facts.

To me, I've been following this since it first happened weeks, months ago, whatever it was, and I like to look on Twitter. And I like to see the responses of people on any of these stories. This one happened to be from The Daily Beast. "MSNBC staff on Joy Reid, enough apologies, we want answers." So, the staff at MSNBC wants answers. And all the Twitter responses to this are, "Leave Joy alone, she's too important to lose her voice." "She said she's evolved." Well, you know what, it's not just about evolving on an issue. Everybody does that, whatever. The fact is, you went out there, destroyed your whole credibility as a journalist by making up a bogus claim that you were hacked.

Okay, let's talk about the hack. Okay? First of all, she says, "I was hacked." Now of course, no body believes that. But, then she goes out and she gets the FBI, they're going to do an investigation of this Joy Reid hack. Like that really matters? We got issues much bigger than Joy Reid keeping her job. Then Joy Reid goes out and hires this numb-nut who's, he's supposed to be a cyber tech forensic guy. And so, he comes back "Oh yeah she was absolutely hacked." And then we find out he's a fraud and Joy Reid had to apologize about him because she knew that she hired a nut case fraud to try to stand behind her story. Where does it stop?

Okay, give me the stories that we've learned about Joy Reid. Let's try to knock them around as best we can.

Now, you have the promoting the Alex Jones-

It was a government conspiracy.

The Photoshop of John McCain as the Virginia Tech shooter. Which they say, "Well, it wasn't about him doing ..." No, no, no you don't take the image of somebody from a tragedy like that and put somebody's head on it. And the most important, obviously, are all, all of the massively homophobic blog posts that she had had over the years. And it just, it all paints the picture of someone who at the time didn't know what she stood for, wanted to test the waters and see where everybody wanted her to go.

That's the point. She will go wherever the wind blows. Right now, and this is absolutely how MSNBC operates. Let's go where the wind blows. You remember, we covered the story, I mean we've been doing this a long time. We covered the story of Phil Donahue. Okay, Phil Donahue gets yanked because he comes out against a war that MSNBC was trying to flame every single night. They had advertisers from Boeing and McDonald Douglas on their show flaming the law, flaming the war. Because they could sell more advertising, okay? So, they replace it with none other than Michael "Crazy man" Savage. Michael Savage comes in to replace Phil Donahue. And it all has to do with Phil Griffin who is a ... Wherever the wind blows Phil Griffin will go. If we're conservative for a month or two, he's going to go there. If we're liberal, he's going to go there.
