What nobody in the news will admit... Reid and many other blacks on news shows are AA hires. She's certainly not there because she's an intelligent analyst of events....she's there because she's black and female and fit some liberal p.c. qualification for hire. She's dumb as a box of rocks about the real world.
Rachel Maddow is another p.c. hire. Homosexual and female, so she has a show.
Of course, most of the people on MSLSD are there because they're demented leftists.
