Joy Reid (MSNBC) had old blog; blog has many anti gay posts
2018-04-24
Mediaite has obtained a series of homophobic posts from Joy Ann Reid's old blog that she denies were actually written by her.
[but that has personal data that only she would actually know]
In an exclusive statement to Mediaite, the
[currently popular]
MSNBC host claims these posts from The Reid Report ‐ which include defending homophobia, gay jokes, and the outright mocking of gay people and homosexuality ‐ were somehow put in by an "external party" that "manipulated material from my now-defunct blog."
[I'm pretty sure anyone with the skills to place external material in a defunct blog would be using those skills for something more commercial]
While Reid apologized in December
[2017]
for writing homophobic content on a blog she ran long before her days as an icon of the #Resistance movement, she claims these new posts opposing gay marriage and cringing "at the sight of two men kissing" were part of a "fabricated" outside effort to paint her as "offensive and hateful."

These anti-gay articles from The Reid Report, a site that pre-dated Reid's former MSNBC show of the same name, were originally shared on Twitter by user Jamie_Maz who found them using the Wayback Machine

#2  She says she was "hacked," just like Carlos Danger. I'd say that's a case of either irony or total lack of self awareness on her part.
