Is Joy Reid drunk or on drugs? Has she been hacked? Is her behavior just an act? It’s tough to say on any particular day, but Monday brought forth one of the craziest things to come across the internet and particularly Twitter on the issue of media bias.
Behold, this absolutely asinine, nutty, and prosperous claim from MSNBC’s AM Joy host less than two hours after Senate Democrats agreed to end the government shutdown:

This post would never end if it cited every single example of liberal media bias and the delirious assertion that the media is biased in favor of Republicans and conservatives. Instead, here are just a few stories published on NewsBusters within the past week:
- Trump and Republicans a ‘Danger’ to Children and ‘Non-White People’
- Evening News Cover Women’s March Three Times More Than March for Life
- 2017: The Year the News Media Went to War Against a President
- NBC: GOP Will Get ‘Disproportionate Amount of Blame’ for Government Shutdown
- NYT’s Porter: GOP, Kentucky Medicaid Reform ‘Will Let Some Americans Die’

At any rate, Reid was promptly condemned for her tweet:
