70: Four Freedoms

The 1978 Ali Vaccine PSA and Identity Politics

Joy Reid utilized a 1978 PSA where Muhammad Ali encouraged childhood vaccinations to argue that Ali would not support Irving. The hosts critique Reid's "identity-less" approach to journalism, comparing her to Don Lemon. They argue that using a PSA for established childhood vaccines to justify a mandate for an experimental product is a disingenuous "hit piece" designed to protect her own job.
