Strange Fruit | The Joy Reid Show LIVE!

Tonight on The Joy Reid Show, we are doing our special coverage on the series of hangings of Black people across the United States.The law is quick to dismiss these deaths as suicides, but anyone with even a passing familiarity with American history has very good reason to doubt the validity of these rulings. It's strange and scary times in the United States, y'all. Butwe won't allow these deaths to go unnoticed and unreported on. We also bring friend of the show Karen Attiah on to talk about her reinstatement to the Washington Post as well as the current state of corporate media coverage of the news (hint: it's not good).
