Daily Beast Suspends Joy Reid Column Over Her Past Posts

Politico: MSNBC will keep Joy Reid on despite her past homophobic posts

While Reid apologized in December for writing homophobic content on a blog she ran long before her days as an icon of the #Resistance movement, she claims these new posts opposing gay marriage and cringing “at the sight of two men kissing” were part of a “fabricated” outside effort to paint her as “offensive and hateful.”

Instapundit: It's been a hellava week for Comcast and NBC!, Blue on Blue, Drip, Drip, Drip: Joy Reid's hacking story is full of holes, Joy Reid claims those homophobic posts she posted were fabricated by someone else, Joy Reid goes with the 'Anthony Weiner' defense

Brian Williams, Joy Reid, Alec Baldwin, and Tom Brokaw are still employed at NBC.

Our betters, y’all.

So what really happened to the Mark Steyn Show?

Mark Steyn: The Interrogator

Daily Beast: Inside the Collapse of the Mark Steyn Show  I find these allegations hard to believe, but here's the Daily Beast take on what allegedly went on with the demise of the Mark Steyn Show. I would encourage you to also look at various Mark Steyn posts such as here, here and here (there are more). Here's Salon's take (you would think Salon would have gotten at least a whiff of what the DB supposedly dug up).  

The production quality of the Mark Steyn show does speak for itself. So the suggestion Mark just rolled into the studio each day without preparing is suspect on its face. So what really happened? I know this much, Mark Steyn needs a decent attorney to do a bit of enhanced interrogation on these allegations.

Separated at Birth: Tina Brown and...?

 Inspired by The Other McCain:  That Tina, she is such a piker!

Tina Brown
Profligate spender of scores
of millions of other people's money...

U.S. Congress (with a lot of Obama help)
Profligate spender of a score
of trillions of other people's money...

Well except for the country and the American public!

Update:
Tina Brown mourns the loss of Hillary Clinton before her actual passing... (Tina is just ripping off an idea from Mark Twain...)

David Frum strikes at Andrew Sullivan and Barack Obama...?

David Frum's article

Okay you get a carrot today. 

I am not sure if this is just Tina Brown's idea of stirring up some traffic for The Daily Beast by having her gladiatorial stable boys battle it out, and of course Frum is still Frum, but here it is.

Useful Idiot or Shameless Sell-Out?

Now dance for me!

They make a great couple!   Tina uses her telekinetic powers to control her new acquisition in his most vulnerable spot.  Tina presumably said she was thrilled to get a new addition to her gladiator stable.   I hope for David's sake he got her to contractually agree to a "safe word."

The Daily Beast has scored another influential voice. David Frum is joining Newsweek and The Daily Beast, writing for both. Frum, who is a conservative D.C. blogger and former George W. Bush speechwriter, will be launching a new Beast blog on the heels of FrumForum, which boasted hundreds of contributors and reached more than 5 million readers. "When we launched, Sarah Palin was a leading candidate for president and Glenn Beck was broadcasting conspiracy theories on cable TV," Frum wrote in his farewell post. "Three years later—not so much. OK, maybe we can’t claim all the credit. But we won’t refuse some fair share." Beast and Newsweek editor Tina Brown tweeted, "Excited to welcome the brilliant writer and commentator* @davidfrum aboard the NewsBeast! Look fwd to a blog on Web & essays in the mag." Frum will bring contributor Noah Kristula-Green with him.

*  Did Tina think Frum was so brilliant when he was in the Bush Administration?  (I took the editorial liberty of striking a certain word and adding a " * "  to above).  

Sardonic.

Jonah Goldberg speaking of David Frum back in March 2010:

But here is my problem with what [Frum's] doing. If I were convinced by his analysis — and I am not — I still wouldn’t argue my points the way he does. If you think Rush, Beck, Hannity, Palin, et al. are bad for conservatism, that’s fine. If you think that the Right is too committed to tax cuts or that its emphasis on social issues is hurting it with the young and the affluent, that’s totally reasonable (if not necessarily persuasive or dispositive). But time and again David seems to relish and glory in the GOP’s “failures.” And this makes no sense to me... 

Instead, we get an almost giddy excitement at GOP failures or, worse, a sometimes absurd effort to spin GOP successes into failures (again, as with the McDonnell election). On the conservative front, it’s almost impossible to reconcile the Frum of ten years ago with the Frum of today. And while I don’t study the FrumForum too closely, I’ve seen little effort by David to explain his apparent philosophical transformation or why he thinks the base of the party should abandon theirs. Instead, one gets the sense that he read the polls and the long-term trends, and decided to defenestrate a lot of his old core convictions — and many of his personal and professional allegiances — to become the leader of a movement (that basically doesn’t exist).

Message to Jonah:  Hence my editting that word from the Daily Beast press release excerpt above.
