MSNBC star Joy Reid is in crisis mode as the liberal media turns on her and critics attempt to debunk her bizarre claim that hackers planted homophobic slurs on her now-defunct website to tarnish her name. Reid apologized last year when homophobic comments made to the "Reid Report," her pre-MSNBC fame blog, were first unearthed by a Twitter user and reported by Mediaite. The homophobic slurs in Reid’s old blog were captured on the Wayback Machine, an Internet archiving service. For this account to make sense, someone would have had to access Reid's blog with Dark Web credentials, then travel back in time,” BuzzFeed senior technology reporter Joe Bernstein tweeted. Mediaite even unearthed a 2016 tweet in which Reid joked about removing damaging information from the Wayback Machine.
