As Twitchy told you, MSNBC has yet to make any decisive moves regarding Joy Reid because they’re reportedly still “waiting for results of law enforcement investigation into her allegation that her blog was hacked.”
NBC will be using the same methods apparently that CNN used to get to the bottom of Anderson Cooper’s mysterious gym locker hacker https://t.co/kJlXVqEcFf

No, they’re taking this really seriously, you guys. They’ve got a “cyber-security expert.”

Think that’s a mess? Don’t worry, it gets better:
So NBC News, with all of their resources, is using a freelance cyber security rent-a-pundit bro to spin this? Let’s be real: If this were Fox or Trumpworld we’d see breaking news chyrons on every other network right now over this response. pic.twitter.com/kpeSz09zeW

This is all a lot more entertaining than it ought to be.
I dunno NBC is making a compelling case by telling us to listen to the guy with ties to stormfront.

Update:
Oh man …
The Joy Reid "hacking" saga is incredible. Now the cybersecurity expert NBC cited in the case has locked his Twitter account. pic.twitter.com/HmQ99EmXHZ
