Joe Reid is a hack. Everyone knows this, including her fans, her staff, and herself. But sometimes her hackery really just takes the cake. Like when Al Franken was on Friday while they mocked the Freedom Convoy and Joe Rogan in a terrible panel segment.
Oh don’t worry, this isn’t the whole horrible segment. It’s just the amazing part where Al Franken flippantly says the “number one cause of death in America now is Joe Rogan.” Then he has to explain to Joy Reid that it’s a joke because she was about to take that seriously. And then he says “actually it’s Tucker Carlson.”
Who likes this kind of TV? It’s like being bottle fed. Just say bad guy names in a tone that seems like you’re being devastatingly witty and call it a day? MSNBC anchors have the easiest job in the world. No standards, no fact checking, and you don’t even have to have good dunks.
“Yeah” she says.
SHE WAS ABOUT TO TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY!! And then when Franken clues her in she gives it some weight anyway!! “It’s funny and not funny.”
That’s the sort of hardcore analysis and deep insight we expect from you Joy.
You can’t even call Reid a clown. She would never be able to graduate clown college.
Also I can’t believe they are dragging the least funny senator in history out of mothballs. I mean I can believe it for MSNBC but it’s just unbelievable y’all.
