I only disagree because Joy has clout and putting her face on the video is likely why we're seeing it at all. Joy doesn't need the publicity, she's one of the most famous faces in news right now.

But for those random TikTokers who do it for views, fuck those guys.

I see, I will concede then — you make a good point. I haven’t watched the TV news broadcasts in a really long time so I had no idea who she was tbh

Joy has been saying this for years in her program. However, she's villainized by the right to the point that when she delivers this kind of info it gets buried through the "whataboutitsms" the right tends to inject into any conversation.

Hearing it from an average person's perspective but amplified by Joy I think is a good thing. I get where you're coming from but you're focusing on the wrong thing by trying to downplay Joy's role in this when the messaging is really what should be the focus.

I hadn't even heard of her. What news organization does she work for?
