As Twitchy told you last night, the Wayback Machine Internet Archive didn’t find any evidence that homophobic content posted on Joy Reid’s old blog was “fraudulent,” despite Reid’s claim that she was hacked.

But despite how bad it looks for Reid — who once touted the powers of the Wayback Machine — it appears MSNBC is standing by her:
.@msnbc standing pat on @JoyAnnReid issue for now. Am told network waiting for results of law enforcement investigation into her allegation that her blog was hacked.

“Investigation.”
you mean like Anthony Weiner's twitter account was hacked?

Something like that, yeah.

We can save them the time. There was no hack.

It wasn't hacked. This is just pathetic.

It really is. But good luck getting MSNBC to admit it.
MSNBC is dragging its feet on releasing a statement on Joy Reid probably because she refuses to admit the truth and they don't want to look stupid by believing her ridiculous hack claim

Sounds about right.

Snort.
On the Joy Reid stuff; when's the last time a claim of "I was hacked" in response to a troubling post has actually been proven? Trying to think of one and coming up short.

That Anthony Weiner fellow seemed trustworthy
