In reply to the discussion: Joy Reids New Homophobic Blog Post Comments Prompt LGBT Group to Take Back Award [View all]Tom Rinaldo
(22,911 posts)I don't know enough about what can and can not be hacked (and how) in archives to have an independent opinion as to whether these are how they were written by Joy at the time.
I got a link from this portion of the NY Times story which has a live hyperlink embedded into it online:
"The newly discovered posts were found on the Wayback Machine, a project of the Internet Archive, and were shared on social media last week by the Twitter user who discovered Ms. Reids old blog posts last year. That user did not respond to a request for comment on Tuesday."
Here is the link to the NY Times story. You can get to the posts by clicking the hyperlink yourself

It includes Joy's claim of being hacked and statements from the archive managers saying there is no evidence for any tampering.
