Kudos to morning Joe today for calling out coverage of Trump

[infullview]

Believe it or not.... they are talking about how media has normalized coverage of dump by not calling him out as a liar/terrorist/criminal for fear of being ridiculed by FOX as being "Partisan".

1. The focus on media was welcome, even though I had to fight the impulse to mute JS.

His infatuation with the sound of his own voice is exhausting. It will be interesting to see if he allows Cassidy Hutchinson to get a word in edgewise.

2. JoeScum is calling out himself

😀😀😀

4. It sounds like he really is trying to reverse some of the damage he did.

I'm grateful for what he's doing now.

But he did so much to normalize the defendant in 2016.

I still can't look at his smug mug.

6. Precisely

15. It's waaaaaaaaay too late...

He should have been doing this back before the 2016 elections...

Oh gee! I helped get this traitor into office in the first place when it was completely obvious at the time how shitty of a human being tRump was..... Oooooooopsies!!!

3. Today on our media show we're going to talk about ...

… Тяцмp for a couple of hours and how the media obsesses over him.

10. Nailed it.

Now if we could give Joe Biden a bit more coverage on DU!

But there's this fascination ...

TV used to have upright father figures like Ozzie Nelson, Ward Cleaver and Jim Anderson, who "always encouraged his family to make the right and moral decision"

That turned into Homer Simpson and Al Bundy.

Because there's this fascination ...

16. nailed it!

5. Yeah, but despite taking responsibility for their own lapses, I almost choked when

the literal "Mr. Conventional Wisdom" Jonathan Lemire (who is one of the worst on this score) piped up to talk about how Trump shouldn't be interviewed or if so must be fact-checked in real time to his face-- Has he already forgotten the abysmal interview by his sister network (NBC)'s own Kristen Welker? Really? Then he goes on to say that so many will continue to do so for access. Ahem, REALLY? How's that red tsunami coming from 2022 that you predicted 10 times every segment you were on, Jonathan? Talk about a clueless individual.

7. What I hear on MSM news is they focus and report on what Trump says

while ignoring the crimes, he committed

[SouthernDem4ever]

8. Right?

Dump is passed the "innocent until proven guilty" phase. We all saw what he has done above what he has publicly admitted.

[RAB910]

9. It's not even a question of innocent until proven guilty. MSM simply is unwilling to even

Report on crimes he has been indicted for, or in this case found guilty of. They will only play sound bites or report what Trump says in his defense.

13. PEOPLE FORGET

In 2015 JS was pushing to have Trump choose him as his VP. After Trump chose Pence, JS gradually turned against him. People forget that JS used to be in politics. He also used to be openly conservative, a friend of John McCain and and years ago tried to get Keith Olbermann fired from MSNBC for being so liberal. Keith still hates JS to this day and thinks JS is just a poser.

14. How about his DEAD intern?

Still lots of unanswered questions from the coroners report.

I never watch him.

17. He's 7 years too late

He ushered him into the WH.
