Joy Reid has gone off on the billionaire right amid the wildfire that is tearing down homes across LA.
Nothing gets more viewers in the US media than getting people pissed off, and Joy Reid is a master of it. US journalism loves nothing more than a good conspiracy, aligning with people’s suspicions and paranoias. This time, in an effort to draw viewers back to faltering MSNBC, Joy Reid shared an outrageous theory on the wildfire ripping across LA.
She claims, unbacked by anything but her own opinion, that the wildfires are a ploy by the billionaire right to buy out California. The ones affected by the wildfires, she claims, are not the rich, but the poor and middle class. They will lose everything, and be left desperate and destitute.
The billionaires will then move in to snap up the land left burnt, and ripe for rebuilding, for a fraction of its original price. Once they have taken the land, they can rebuild overpriced rentals to add to their massive hedge funds. Now able to dictate prices, and who can live where, according to Reid.
She also alleges racism at the heart of this wild conspiracy theory.
“They can drive out the brown people and the black and Asian people, or just sink them into the same apartheid they’ve created in Texas, and they will control enough electoral votes if they control California to never have to worry about another presidential election,” she states.Joy Reid has her theories on the wildfire that has devastated California. Although it seems wild, she is far from the only person who sees foul play. She may have received all sorts of backlash for voicing her opinion, but she’s not alone in this conspiracy.
Jor Reid Adds Fuel To The Wildfire Conspiracy Flames
Of course, her theories, aired on national television, have caused a bit of a ruckus. While some agree with her view of the wildfires, others believe she is barking up the wrong tree. There are conspiracies on both the left and right sides. But, whether people agree with Joy Reid and her wildfire views is up for debate.
“Where does she get her information? Does nobody require evidence from these news people, actual reports? or they just take Joy’s word for it? They make these wild fantastical assertions with not one shred of proof or truth,” one commenter adds, making a valid point.
Her accusations are unfounded, and only based on her own opinion. Joy Reid is stating her wildfire conspiracy as a fact. This can be dangerous to people not bright enough to understand that everything on TV isn’t the truth. People often get opinion and neutral journalism muddled up.
Joy Reid is an opinioned talking head, not to be taken too seriously. As someone notes “I mean at this point it’s apparent she tries to come up with the most outrageous things to say to gain attention. She’s like a live tabloid.”
It’s important to remember that not everything has to be factual. People are entitled to their opinions, and someone like Joy Reid garners viewers by being contrarian. It works too.
MSNBC host Joy Reid is facing backlash after suggesting a wild conspiracy theory about the wildfires currently ravaging the West Coast. During a recent segment on her show, Reid claimed that the fires were deliberately set by “right-wing extremists” in order to further their political agenda.
Many viewers were quick to criticize Reid for spreading baseless and inflammatory claims, with some accusing her of fear-mongering and spreading misinformation. The theory has been widely debunked by experts and officials, who have attributed the wildfires to a combination of dry conditions, high winds, and human activity.
Reid has since issued a statement clarifying her remarks, stating that she did not intend to imply that all wildfires were intentionally set, but rather that some may have been the result of arson. However, her initial comments have already sparked controversy and raised questions about the responsibility of journalists and media personalities in reporting on sensitive and complex issues.
As the wildfires continue to devastate communities and wildlife across the West Coast, it is important for media outlets like MSNBC to provide accurate and responsible coverage of the situation. While conspiracy theories may generate attention and controversy, they ultimately do a disservice to those affected by the fires and undermine efforts to address the root causes of the crisis.
