Middling awful, the Joy Reid edition

I missed this earlier. Joy Reid sued for defamation. How awful is this behavior by Reid really? I think it’s pretty awful. People get fired over tweet storms like this. It’s reckless for a person who works in news, who has such a big platform because of it, to spread such stuff, seemingly with her endorsement too. I don’t see deliberate malice here, but I do see a reckless disregard. This is just part of the casual awfulness of the political class.
