26. Rob Reiner went on Morning Joe in 2016 and strongly criticized them for enabling Trump.

Mika and Republican Joe were aghast and then got all self-righteously puffed up that Reiner told the truth about gifting Trump all that free airtime with feckless interviewing, especially via Trump's telephone ravings they had let go on and on. No surprise here that Mika misheard this Sarah joke and then couldn't be bothered to check a replay of Michelle's routine before throwing shade, aka manure, on Wolf.

This White House "press-gang", with a few worthwhile exceptions, have contracted a collective Patty Hurst syndrome during their loco quixotic quest to normalize Trump and justify their own well-paid, high-status stenography jobs.

Most MSNBC evening panels have one of these stenographers starting off panel topics and not only deadening the discussions but ripping off precious time from insightful panelists like David Corn, Eugene Robinson and Democratic Party Congress women and men. My remote's mute button is nearly worn to defunct!
