Morning Joe Slings Gun-Control Softballs to WH Spox Earnest
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 06/21/2016 7:11:27 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Imagine you’re a real reporter—not a thinly-disguised member of the Dem cheerleading squad—and you had the opportunity to question President Obama’s spokesman this morning. Wouldn’t you have wanted to know the degree to which President Obama and his minions were complicit in the fiasco of the redaction of the Omar Mateern tapes, removing most of his proclamations of allegiance to ISIS, Allah, etc?

But when the Morning Joe crew interviewed Josh Earnest, not a word about the Mateen tapes, or anything else that might have jostled Josh’s feathers. To the contrary, the interview was one long set-up, giving Earnest the chance to sanctimonously wring his hands over the rejection by the Republican Senate of various gun control measures. Most bathetic of all was Mike Barnicle. Barnicle prefaced his question by saying “I’m going to ask you to do something that’s probably difficult given your role as White House spokesperson.” For a fleeting second one imagined Barnicle was about to challenge Earnest with an uncomfortable question. Hah! “Give us a feel for the president as a human being, okay? As a father, as a parent, as a citizen because we all know what happened in Orlando.” Hard-hitting stuff, Mike!

Morning Joe has deteriorated into nothing more than a pathetic, often laughable Trump bashing session.

Even F & F is more informative.

Barnicle is such a dirtbag. Covered up for that killer Bulger because Bulger’s brother was the president of the Mass Senate.

MSNBC seems to end up with all the discredited scumbags.

What’s up with that high pitched, squealing, baby girl laugh of Scarborough’s? It’s just flat weird.

Just a little professional courtesy from one ‘Ho to another ‘Ho.

Here, here! MJ used to at least try to appear to have a degree of balance. It is now a complete rat suck-fest, becoming horrible and irritating to the extreme.

Buh-bye, Joey.

it’s amazing how this show gets so much press when if you look at the ratings its insignificant.
