As Twitchy told you, Joy Reid has issued yet another apology for old blog posts, this time posts promoting 9/11 Trutherism and a Photoshopped image of John McCain as the Virginia Tech shooter. Oddly enough, this apology made no mention of the fabled time-traveling hackers.
Well anyway, if you predicted that MSNBC would be satisfied with Reid’s empty apologies, come and collect your prize:

MSNBC just followed with a separate email about @JoyAnnReid. Doesn't appear the company will take any action. pic.twitter.com/WTPaNbt76M

Color us shocked.

So MSNBC's just hoping everybody forgets she tried to blame "hackers" eh? https://t.co/9AULuwb0sc

What punishment will the hackers face? https://t.co/zi4skVlzyD

I've asked MSNBC about the hacking claim. Does she still stand by it? Is the network still looking into it? And what's the status of the FBI probe?

Inquiring minds wanna know!
The hacker has also grown & evolved https://t.co/n0iaRvgHkC

Ah, yes. That must be it.
So she gets to evolve? And what about the lies she has told recently?

.@MSNBC, this isn't true. In public she laughably blamed "hackers." A charge she admitted she has sought to substantiate, and found no proof. She has publicly, on your network, claimed she doesn't remember making these comments. @JoyAnnReid is a disgrace. https://t.co/Ad9MzJ7aH3

Gotta credit MSNBC for loyalty at least, going to the mats for an anchor who though Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's idea to rid the Middle East of its Jews was worth considering. https://t.co/JQ3AVhxA0c

Joy Reid:
– Sorry.
– I was hacked by bigots!
– There's no proof I was hacked by bigots (but it wasn't me).
– Sorry.MSNBC: We're super proud of her growth as a person.

My God. Does @JoyAnnReid have embarrassing photos of MSNBC execs? How on earth can they expect this to be their statement?? https://t.co/b7CqZpv4GA

This is why emblematic of why people hate the media. They're only capable of empathizing with people who have the correct political opinions
