Joy Reid apologizes and says experts haven't proven she was hacked

[JCanete]

86. no, but there is a huge difference between adopting an outlandish(though possible)

narrative as THE truth, and not waiting for the jury before condemning her based upon the evidence that exists. I don't agree with doing the latter. I understand that some people's knowledge of the internet and way way back machine, etc. might have given them the confidence to do so, but its not a confidence I have, and I see no reason to rush to conviction over these matters. And some people may indeed have enough of an axe to grind that they are pounding this story beyond its merits and vilifying Joy far beyond what she deserves, but none of that would be as embarrassing as the former. It would be mean spirited and cynical, but it wouldn't be the same ridiculously far-fetched leap of faith that many people took without a glance downward.

but regardless, it seems like Joy has done more work on addressing her past and I think that if ultimately, she can be, or has been, forgiven by the LGBQT community at large, there's nothing more to see there. What happens here is what bothers me, and yes, it also bothers me when people call for her head.
