MSNBC host Joy Reid couldn’t contain her excitement as she described the Democratic National Convention (DNC) attendees as ‘joyous’ and ‘dancing to the tunes in their own heads.’ Reid’s exuberant coverage of the event has drawn criticism from conservatives who see it as yet another example of media bias.
“This is the kind of fawning coverage we’ve come to expect from MSNBC,” said a media analyst. “Joy Reid is practically a cheerleader for the DNC, and it shows in her coverage.”
Reid’s comments came as she reported live from the convention, where she highlighted the enthusiasm of the attendees. However, many have pointed out that her portrayal of the event may be more reflective of her own political leanings than of the actual mood on the ground.
The segment has sparked discussions about the role of media in political coverage, with critics arguing that Reid’s approach blurs the line between reporting and advocacy.
