Haughty Joe Scarborough Warns Trump: ‘The Press Always Wins’
Newsbusters ^ | February 17, 2017 | Alexis Thomasi

Posted on 02/18/2017 8:50:12 AM PST by kevcol

Thursday on Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough urged Donald Trump to realize that “the press always wins” in fights withpoliticians. In the same hour, Scarborough criticized an editorial in The Wall Street Journal for not focusing on, what he considered to be, the most important points following former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s resignation.

Scarborough huffed, “Donald Trump has tried to delegitimize the courts…Don't screw with federal judges it never turns out well for you. And the courts won that round. He is trying to delegitimize the press the press has risen up over the past couple of weeks. And as I always say, don't fight the press, the press always wins. Ask Richard Nixon. The press always wins!”

I used to watch Morning HO most of the time until a month or 2 before the election. I’m done now.

Hey Joe don’t need you or the “old gotcha” press conferences. With the whining and lying liberal mediots attacking our president. We are tired of the mediots lying and telling us what to believe and how to vote! Ban them from the White House. Trump’s comments and statements are for his voters. Joe, we don’t need lying liberal mediots to tell us what he says to us.

Official Washington is being traumatized by the tweets of Donald Trump.

Politico has chronicled the pearl clutching concern by the inside the beltway types over Trump's tweets. Trump speaking directly to the people via Twitter is causing a crisis among mediots, politicians and lobbyists. They just don't know how to handle it as the article title, “Trump’s Twitter feed traumatizes Washington.”

Joe is one of the dumber news morons. Trump could destroy Joe in less than 15 seconds.

Yeah, the press wins if you do like George W. Bush and let them steamroll over you.

What Joe is saying is that the press has control of our nation. If so, they’ve been doing a sorry job. It’s time to bring them down.

“The press always wins.”

Yep. That’s why Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, and Hubert Humphrey won their races for President. Oh, wait...

Joey. That’s the problem. Americans don’t vote for and elect lowlife reporters. Hopefully, PRESIDENT Trump can prevent these maggots from “always” winning.

More and more the news from the MSM is about themselves, as if they’re the most important thing to report about.

The problem with that Joe is that Trump has the truth on his side. Joe, if you want to be on the side of fake news so be it. In the end the truth will win.

The press always wins, eh? Well, that explains Trump’s victory: a win for the free press by extension, and a great loss for the fake media.

There was a time, not too long ago where the media could take down a person for saying 47%, or spelling potatoE, or what ever trivial thing they would make tempest in a teapot about. So, Joe is threatening a Republican with the power of the press but won’t say poo about a Democrat. I say keep pounding the press, people are knowing about this bias now.
