In an early glimpse of what to expect from coverage of this election, MSNBC and CNN hosts went into full rage mode with the Iowa caucus results. MSNBC host Joy Reid led this effort by declaring that “White Christians” are racists who want minorities to “bow down” to them.
Reid asked about this manifest racism of white Christians in a conversation with Robert “Robbie” Jones, the president and founder of Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) and author of “The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy.”
Reid explained to anyone who was confused about their white Christian neighbors:
“All the things that we think about, about electability, about what are people gaming out, but none of that matters when you believe that God has given you this country, that it is yours, and that everyone who is not a White, conservative Christian is a fraudulent American, is a less real American. Then you don’t care about electability. You care about what God has given you.”
She later added
“It is religion And I think what we have to actually confront – and this is what the Democrats are going to face – is this is now what White evangelicalism is. It is Christian nationalism. That’s the name of it, right?” It is all part of “White evangelical Christians of a certain mindset … that they own this country, that immigrants, that Brown people, that Hindus like Vivek Ramaswamy and his wife are illegitimate Americans. They are less legitimate Americans than they are…They’re not trying to convince people and win people over through politics. What they’re saying is, ‘We own this country, and everyone will bow down to us.’”
As we look at the rising anger in this country, this is a good part of it. In our echo chambered coverage, viewers hear of the effort to suppress all minorities (including apparently minority GOP presidential candidates) and how this “may be our last election.” Yet, these same hosts will denounce others for their reckless language as they fuel racist and rage rhetoric.
Reid’s colleague MSNBC Host Rachel Maddow censored Trump’s victory speech and said that the network would not allow viewers to hear him because he said “untrue things.” MSNBC would allow viewers to hear the victory speeches of anyone it deems as speaking truthfully about political issues.
Much like our politics, our media often seems captured by the most extreme elements of our society. It explains why the media is now at an all-time low in terms of trust. However, the most concerning aspect is that this is just the beginning of January. We have to make it to November.
I think that we saw something like this ominous moment 15 years ago to the day…
Would Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board have censored Joy Reid’s sermon? Methinks not.
Indoctrination and propaganda diminishes the individual’s ability to think critically in order to change the channel.
Our 1st Amendment protects all speech, even that which I consider to be evil propaganda. It does not mean I have to listen to it, which is why I haven’t watched MSNBC this century.
Watching Rachel Maddow have a meltdown is rather funny.
It appears they are going to censor Trump’s victory speech and then later tell their audience what they need to know.
Upstate….Exactly….and they might as well speak to their TV audience in their Mother tongue, German.
at some point she needs to be committed to a mental institution
It appears they are going to censor Trump’s victory speech
Democracy is at stake, so silencing the current leader is the obvious action need to protect freedom and democracy.
File this away the next time the leftist claim ONLY Dems know who to silence to protect free speec
“The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them” Orwell. “The further a society drifts from the truth the more it will hate those that speak it” Orwell. Both quotes are spot-on to any Trump supporter.
It’s not funny how the demoncrat globalist is worse in every area you cited, and also a traitor, and yet pretends to be part of the nation or adherent to it.
Poor $ix-figure Reid. Boo hoo.
$even-figure (per year — maybe you meant per month)
Reid cant be making 7 figures.
Joy Reid is a joke. A bad joke, but a joke.
I would love to ask her why it is that she, and Michelle Obama, and Oprah, and others, straighten their hair to look like white girls, if they hate whites so much??? That’s a mystery to me.
It’s so interesting that you think straight hair makes someone look White rather than Asian or Native American. Seems to me that Asians and Native Americans have straighter hair on average than Whites do. And why do so many White women curl their hair, are they trying to look Black?
Do you understand how stupid your comment is?
Joy Reid is culturally appropriating white people. It’s shameful since she is against cultural appropriation. She also obviously hates white people, and she says so. Might be more jealousy in there, so the straightened mop dyed blond. She talks white, too, also a no no.
Sure. Then ask why people like Trump darken their skin to look less white.
She has a four-year degree from Harvard. Apparently, they were all sophomore years.
They couldn’t have been sophomore years, maybe freshman but that is doubtful.
Then how did she get so sophomoric?
“Apparently, they were all sophomore years.”
Since it’s Harvard, you have it backwards. What it means is that she graduated with honors.
When fake news and fake intelligence are exposed, what do you expect to see? Fake remorse? No, as that would only underscore the possibility of incompetence.
The odds are you will see fake rage as that will seem to justify any and all further responses. (As in Fani Willis, Hunter Biden, etc.)
No. No. We just want Joy Reid to bow down to us.
The woke, DEI, prog/left fanatic evangelical movement has stalled and is falling in on itself. All they can do – much like their brothers the islamic jiohadis, is to scream phrases akin to Allahu Akbar in woke-speak to try and rally the believers. Dog whistle phrases such as “white supremacy”, “racist white folk”, “homophobic” etc will be spewing from their mouths akin to “From the River to the Sea” is gushing from those who hate western civilization and Jews. We will need to endure almost a year of hate boiling out of those who live in America but hate it at the same time.
Nice try. Completely incoherent. But nice try.
I am sorry that your prog/left indoctrination/pseudo education does not allow you to comprehend the meaning of my post – perhaps a few courses in remedial English and history could help you … that an a session at a TDS detox center.
I worry that Reid has discovered the two party secret and is more than willing to use it. Lie, lie big, be consistent, and use anger and fear to divide. And here we all are, following her lead.
No, Carole, The people of Iowa aren’t following her. They have common sense.
@Carole
Then you give her too much credit. She is doing what she is directed to do. An original thought would make her brain explode. Her schtick is entirely scripted, they do not deserve your benefit of the doubt in 2024. As is often said on the web these days: you do not distrust the media enough. And I don’t doubt she goes home at the end of the day and acts like a human, or at least its supremely privileged approximation. Doesn’t change what these folks are very willingly and eagerly doing to our society. ‘Sell out’ doesn’t begin to cover it, and to libs that used to complain about ‘the man’ it is pretty dang funny. It would be hilarious if so much wasn’t now on the line, and you better believe it is.
She is not ‘Iowa nice’, that’s for sure.
John Solomon at “Just The News” has an article today dealing with the Art Dealer’s testimony to Congressional Investigators.
The part that caught my attention was when the Dealer in explaining his direct and telephone contacts with President Joe Biden….reported the telephone call resulted when Joe Biden called wanting to congratulate the Dealer’s daughter for finishing “camp”.
Oh! Really?
The President of the United States even knows of the daughter, much less that she had gone to “camp” and was now back home?
How did that happen if there was such a stringent Firewall in place and why was there such a relationship between President Biden and his Son’s Art Dealer?
Folks….in Investigator speak….there is something very wrong that is being described there….and indicates there is a much more involved relationship than is being admitted to by the Bidens, the White House, and the Media.
Just like Cats covering up their poop….sometimes they just cannot help but leave some uncovered.
Even when covered, the stench remains until the turdz are thrown out.
“When you’re seeing in the press that the White House is putting in certain safeguards regarding an ethics agreement …”
“There was no ethics agreement …” Berges, Hunter’s multi million dollar to demoncratic donors art seller
There is ‘validity’ to some anger, and ‘reasonable speech’ regarding the issue-of-anger is smothered-out by both louder-rhetorical (Age of Rage) and self-suppression (Quieting) due to mental conditioning and mental Ethical perspectives

Sensationalism in mass media of broadcasting more often (Our minds are connected/online).

As a consequence of these conditions we are drawn in close and closer, by the Source (The Message of the Broadcast).

That settles it. Joy Reid posts here as Dennis McIntyre.
🤣🤣🤣
Comment of the day!
Our media is now utterly and irredeemably toxic. We all need to brace ourselves for a 1A fight this year the likes of which we’ve never seen before, the dem machine is just getting started. We are what will make the difference between it being sad or being an abject tragedy.
Sorry – guess it’s 2024 now, huh? 😂
Joy Reid is the racist bigot, here.
The point that Democrats don’t get that they are not so well liked is sad. The point that a large number of people voted for a rapist is doubly sad. Not that DeSantis is any better, but at least he is not a rapist (that we know of). Trump put classified documents in his bathroom then tried to hide them when the government found out and said give them back.
Really? This is who people voted for? Sheeeeesh
Yea, it is Big Mouth Bob. Now you get to select your candidate. Oh wait, no you dont, you get pedo joe whether you like it or not.
How does that steaming turd smell?
By the way, when was the longest Supreme Court vacancy, ya lying sack?
Who says I support Biden? I am merely pointing out that trump is a rapist, hid classified documents in his house, is a convicted fraudster on numerous fronts from failed business (How is good old Trump U doing these days?), and he gets support. That support speaks volumes about what sort of person you are.
And your language about “steaming turds”? Well, I really don’t expect much dialog from trump or his supporters. So your demonstrated IQ sub 70 would not surprise.
Bob, compare Trump’s documents being held by an ex-president to Biden’s documents being held by an ex-senator and VP. Compare the secured home of a detail protected ex-president to the garage of an ex-senator who has a son dealing with the CCP.
While on the topic let’s compare the doc cases by examining Biden’s docs being held at the “Biden Think Tank” that was FUNDED BY THE CCP. How you ask. Penn gave Biden the cushy million dollar no-show job as the CCP donated 5 million to Penn. This is called money laundering in an honest administration. Then Biden puts his CLASSIFIED documents in the center that is funded by the CCP.
After all of the above we have phony people like Bob worrying about Trump’s documents as he ignores Biden’s.
Bob, you are a liar, an idiot, a partisan hack, a paid operative or all of the above.
And, you voted for Joe who had documents in his garage and has done 100x worse! Joe doesn’t even know his own name at this point!
Joy Reid has passed over the line from activist into insanity, interspersed with hate. It is obvious she has not been taking her medications for quite some time.
Bedlam-The Hospital of St Mary of Bethlehem in London, originally a priory, founded about 1247 but afterword used as an asylum for Lunatics (American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language) and I believe Ms. Reid or her malignant spirit were Founding patients there.
I agree with one of the writers above, that in the day to day world out there blacks, white, Hispanics, Asians and virtually everyone else goes to work day by day and works shoulder to shoulder without racial friction. Jew and Muslim, Christian, Hindu all work side by side even as the lands of their origin are ripped apart by sectarian violence. That was and continues to be (for the most part) the story of the USA. Leave your origins behind you and join the melting pot. Bring what is good from your culture and add it ours but leave the hate and sectarian violence in your old country. It takes time to adjust but still happens all around the nation.
Joy Reid need to be fact checked out of existence.
As Shakespeare would say “it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”.
Let them vomit their slop. By November people will be sick of them!
