“MSNBC’s Joy Reid in Hot Water Over Supreme Court’s Bump Stock Decision.” This is the shocking storyline of an entertaining tale unfolding in the realm of American media. Revel with me in the absurdity of it all.
On the left-leaning MSNBC network, primetime show host, Joy Reid, showered the public with a notable displeasure about the Supreme Court’s recent decision annuling a Trump-era ban on bump stocks by the ATF. Tuesday’s ReidOut brought former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich and a writer for Slate, Mark Joseph Stern to express their disdain over what they view as a hidden oligarchy set on deconstructing America’s democracy.
Reid brazenly linked conservatives to a conspiracy, implying that Supreme Court justices are just subordinates of deep-pocketed Republicans – those who receive support from pro-gun, defense, and oil and gas lobbyists. Curiously, she failed to mention the Democrats, some of whom also receive significant funding from defense money.
Oddly, Reid appeared to depict Republicans as the embodiment of corruption, ignoring the fact that Democrats receive generous funding from teacher unions and tech companies, to name a few. When Reich called for the removal of ‘big money’ from American politics, he too conveniently forgot to reference any Democrat-related ‘big money’.
Moving on, Reid exhibited her ignorance about firearms by parroting Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s fallacious definition of bump stocks, claiming they convert firearms into machine guns. Funnily enough, her irritation grew prominent when Justice Clarence Thomas chose to rely on a gun organization’s definition to reach an informed decision.
Next, we find Mark Joseph Stern making dangerous claims about the Firearms Policy Coalition, associating them with violence and political assassinations – extremely damaging allegations with no provided substantiation.
Yet, the ‘best’ part of the show came when Reid and Reich confidently proclaimed that the United States had transformed into an oligarchy over the last 50 years and asserted it’s up to the voters to return it to a democratic state. Surprisingly, Reid’s solution for a brighter future was not as impartial as it should be – vote for Joe Biden.
It’s clear from Reid’s coverage of the subject that rather than providing researched insights, her segment merely amplified her personal bias. Such actions do nothing but inspire unjustified paranoia in her viewers. The public deserves a balanced perspective, not a biased rant.
In conclusion, the incident serves as a grim example of what happens when personal bias overshadows responsible reporting. Truly, it’s a wake-up call for all journalists to responsibly use their platforms to inform and educate rather than propagate self-righteous narratives.
