If it wasn’t for the idea of future consequences, the aforementioned ‘love triangle’ would be funny as hell.

It’s as though we’ve given up even the pretense of the media being actual reporters of the news. . . . i.e. journalists.

When I say I “watch” Morning Joe, I really mean I am aware of its existence. I talk to some people, not in New York or Washington but around the country, and they are not all angry at it. But we all agree its views are simplistic and often wrong.

Oh Mika, are you trying to distance yourself from the monster you and the rest of the media created? Good luck with that.

Scarborough and Brzezinski visited Trump’s hotel room on Tuesday night while the New Hampshire primary results were rolling in, according to two sources with knowledge of their visit. Scarborough and Brzezinski did not respond to a request for comment.


On October 28, 2010, days before the 2010 U.S. elections, Olbermann donated $2,400 each to three Democratic candidates for Congress: Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway, and Arizona Democratic Representatives Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords.Grijalva had appeared on Olbermann’s show immediately before Olbermann mailed the donations. In response, on November 5, MSNBC President Phil Griffin suspended him indefinitely without pay for violating a network policy which required employees to obtain approval from management before making political contributions

back to watching ‘Barry and Cisco on Earth 2’.

Brzezinski shot a sidelong look at her co-host while Trump spoke. Scarborough then jumped in to clarify

Yes, of course, “clarify”, I’m certain that’s exactly what Joe then did, clarify, in a pusillanimous pig’s ass.
Media’s presumption of this vestigial Ozzie & Harriet decorum, sort of an ancient spell-check to further misunderstanding, allows the intentional haters to intentionally push the hate envelope unchallenged by the very tone of the language used if not the often intentionally blurred meaning of that softened reporting.

So much for the press being neutral. 'Course saying Joe and Mika are press truly denigrates the honest press brokers out there.

I was thinking exactly the same thing in exactly those words.

Did they come into that room on their knees?

Damn liberal media…

…all six of them

It’s almost like Rump is driving a windowless van and grabbing a variety of people off the street to celebrate his cannabalistic rituals. They may initially think that that they’re in on the celebrations until the water in the pot comes to a boil and there’s nothing in it. Yet.

You know, I hope Trump is making it up. I do love to see high-quality trolling in action, and there are few more deserving of it than that ninny Scarborough.

Your sources are wrong, and your sources are CNN reporters. You spread a different lie about us every day. https://t.co/gBcBZ51kDw

A simple "We did not personally visit with Donald Trump in his hotel room or any other personal, non-public accommodations" would suffice. Otherwise this Tweet is a non-denial denial.

meeka and joescar were key in the initial media lovefest. they gave trump a daily segment to either call in or appear long before he took off as a likely gop choice… so any ‘oh no, not me’ bullshit is just that. bullshit.

i’ve no idea…only Dylan Byers’s sources know for sure.

I can’t watch these two at all anymore. They just aren’t neutral about coverage. Why they aren’t on FOX is beyond me. I’m sure there’s an episode of Locked Up I haven’t seen.
I only have the news on for a few minutes before I leave the house in the morning, but now I switch over to CNN.

I’d like another MSNBC station, no better CNN, run a long screen grab of that pic of Joe and Mika next to a scrolling text of all the terrible things Trump has said since day one. I’m sure MSNBC’s top level executives would be proud to support every single terrible thing Trump has thrown out as red meat to his base.

If not, why did they allow this particular show to coronate Trump week in and week out?
