Progressives are concern MSNBC may fire Joy Reid out the cannon. |
Capehart who often contributes to AM Joy is openly gay and Black. He stands by her despite the right and some on the left calling for her to be fired out the cannon.
The heat finally reached MSNBC and now they're force to either fire her out the cannon or keep her on limited basis.
Joy Reid has been trying to dodge the heat after someone unearthed and leaked portions of her old blog The Reid Report. She had publicly apologized multiple times, but now people are calling for her cannon firing.
Reid on her part said that she had evolved from the days.
"While I published my blog, starting in 2005, I wrote thousands of post in real time on the issues of the day. There are things I deeply regret and am embarrassed by, things I would have said differently and issues where my position has changed. Today I'm sincerely apologizing again."
"I'm sorry for the collateral damage and pain this is causing individuals and communities caught in the crossfire. To be clear, I have the highest respect for Sen. [John] McCain as a public servant and patriot and wish him and his family the best."
Nonetheless the damage is done. Her two years of AM Joy could be coming to an end.
Someone back in December unearthed her old blog and posted some of her past postings when she was a blogger and commentator from Miami. She had expressed harsh criticism towards conservatives, Florida Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL) when he was a Republican governor, and Black America's views on homosexuality.
Reid apologized the first time and the second time. Now the third time.
She now fears her days at MSNBC are numbered.
