MORNING NO. 'Morning Joe' Bans Kellyanne Conway

Source: The Daily Beast



MSNBC’s Morning Joe will no longer allow presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway to appear on its air, so long as Mika Brzezinski is around. The co-host of the Beltway-centric gabfest revealed Wednesday that Conway often personally texts directly to schedule an interview on the show. However, Brzezinski said, because, “Every time I’ve ever seen her on television, something’s askew, off, or incorrect”—referring to Conway’s recent string of TV commentary proven false or troubling at best—“I will say: Kellyanne Conway does not need to text our show, just as long as I’m on it, because it’s not happening here.” Brzezinski went a step further and suggested Conway is simply seeking attention: “I don’t even think she’s saying things she knows to be untrue, she’s just saying things just to get in front of a TV set and prove her relevance because behind the scenes, she’s not in these meetings. She’s not credible anymore.”

Hot Mic Captures Trump Asking ‘Morning Joe’ Hosts For No ‘Too Hard’ Questions
**********
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/morning-joe-hot-mic-trump-conversation
***********
“You don’t want me to do the ones—with deportation?” Brzezinski said.

After some cross-talk, co-host Joe Scarborough said, "We really have to get you some questions."

“That’s right, nothing too hard Mika," Trump interjected.

"Okay," Brzezinski said.

"anymore" is the real key word here and that is frightening enough to make sure I don't watch this program, not that I ever did do so.

now that the huge pile of tRump lies they brought her on to promote is collapsing--on her boss and their program. Joe himself insists she's "out of the loop," which itself would also explain dumping her, but who believes for a moment his claim that for months all her lies were strictly her own inventions? And who in the WH are they coordinating this witch's demise with?

As for Mika, I just have to imagine her righteous mien during this because her act's too transparently dishonest and disgusting these days to stomach. I swear, Conway's forthright villainy actually looks more honest next to the hypocrisy of these two.

they'll be able to be on the other end of the coming shit storm. But we'll remember the part they played in helping him get elected. The only ones who won't will be the people who are just now hearing about any of this.

When faux news starts this crap, that's when we'll know the end is near.

Well if Joey Scar and Mika are reading the riot act to Kellyanne, you gotta know other Republicans are grimacing, when they read the morning headlines and Traitor Trump's overnight tweets. Can we all agree that Traitor Trump is not EVER going to change and act normal. He will just generate more and more chaos and piss off more and more people. Meanwhile icebergs are scraping big holes in the side of the Republican Titanic cluster-fuck.

Kaboom!

People know they lie, but some soak the entire show up every morning anyway. All I can think is there must be something addictive going on. Like those who work up a good hate for some actress and then follow her slavishly in order to feed whatever's going on with them. Very like, now that I think of it. Joe and Mika are entertainment figures, after all.

Btw, CNN banned Not-So-Perky Conway before MJ did.
