Every time I see any thread on Morning Joke’ Scarborough I just hope there’s not another dead intern this time.
MoJo’ is nothing more than a big uncircumcised d*ck in a sweater vest…Frothy Santorum’s slightly less odious doppleganger.

Yep. I’d put money on that.
Smarmy, thin-skinned and small-minded types like Shmoe–
don’t take public ass-whuppins’ very well at all.

If all Lowery wanted to do was be on TV, then he could have applied to be a pundit on Scarborough’s show.
My bad. He’d be overqualified by having first-hand knowledge on a subject.

trouble with Scarborough and some of his ilk is they aren’t journalists, they are politicians and pundits who somebody decided to put on TV and talk about the news.
trouble is many don’t get there is a difference between a journalist and paid talker.

“WaPo’s Wesley Lowery, who said he and the Huffington Post’s Ryan Reilly were arrested in a McDonald’s…”
They said it?
I have found Joe Scarborough to be a cocky, disrespectful and ego-driven obnoxious TV host. His style is to over talk others on the panel and insist his view, at the time, is the only one viable. MSNBC could much better with another Conservative voice.

Scarborough is not, and never has been, a journalist. He’s just a smug asshole who used to sit in Congress who likes the sound of his own voice.

Joey Scar wouldn’t have the slightest idea about how to actually report out a story.
as soon as the police say “turn the camera off” it’s safe to assume they know they’re breaking the law

Just to be perfectly clear-
Lily white - privileged - ruling class - beltway creature Joe Scarborough will NOT have the same experience as a normal American caught up in the insanity of the Ferguson Police State.
He will likely show up in some ‘Joe the plumber’ photo op at the edge of town, sipping a Slurppy and commenting on the lovely weather.
What a tool.

Jeebus Christmas on a Melba Toast, Scarborough is an idiot.
EDIT: btw Mr. Kludt? Far be it for me to point out that editing is perhaps not TPM’s strong suit (understatement), but Mr. Lowery didn’t just SAY he was arrested…he WAS arrested.
Grammar still counts for something.

Scarborough would rather sit in an office while he calmly murders his interns.

As someone who covered college and race riots back in the 60’s and 70’s, it is clear to me that police act like police all the time. Reporters back then were among the first targets for both sides because these kinds of things do get out of hand on both sides. As a result, reporters got beaten, shot at and arrested. More things change, more they stay the same.

From what I heard on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show last night (Joe should listen to the coverage on his own network sometimes), the St. Louis County police have been targeting reporters – trying to tell them when they can and cannot film, where they can go, etc. O’Donnell interviewed the Huffington Post reporter who also was arrested. The guy was sitting in a McDonald’s a half mile from where the demonstrations were taking place, re-charging his cell phone and his laptop and taking care of some other reporting business when the police came in and told the people in the restaurant (which included parents with small children) that they could no longer guarantee their safety if they remained. That seemed to be OK with most of the patrons there. The police left, but then shortly afterward came back, gave everybody 30 seconds to clear out, and then apparently arrested the reporter because he didn’t move fast enough to suit them. (The reporter did admit to showing some attitude as well.)
I imagine it was pretty much the same circumstances for the WaPo reporter. Those guys didn’t go looking for a confrontation; the police came looking for them.
Watching some of the live video feed on the television last night, it reminded me of the Arab Spring in Egypt, and in some respects also of Tiananmen Square. Not as deadly, of course, but the same sort of attitude from the authorities, that they had the right to determine what was and was not an appropriate manner, time, and place for people to exercise their First Amendment rights.

Well, you’re being unreasonable.
That would require Joe to have guts.
If fewer than 75K folks are watching Morning Joe on average, I’d say the Washington Post reporter is reaching many, many more – through hard copy and the internet.
So Joe – as far as influence goes, YOU LOSE!
And by what authority do the police make that demand? The reporters are not automatically breaking the law just because they won’t follow an inappropriate demand from the police.
