MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski made an explosive allegation about the first lady on Friday as a bitter dispute between the television host, her fiance Joe Scarborough and President Donald Trump raged on. MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski made an explosive allegation about the first lady on Friday Brzezinski put some oomph behind unsubstantiated rumors that Melania Trump wants out of her marriage during an interview with InStyle that appeared on the magazine's website. 'I know Melania. I haven’t talked to her in months, but if my gut is right, I don’t think she’s going to put up with it much longer,' Brzezinski said....

Watched low rated @Morning_Joe for first time in long time. FAKE NEWS. He called me to stop a National Enquirer article. I said no! Bad show— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 30, 2017

Unpresidential': Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan and series of top Republicans turn on Trump over his slurs against Mika and Joe A number of Republicans have come out against President Trump's Thursday morning attack on Morning Joe hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan, Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham and a number of others tweeted or gave statements disavowing what Trump said The president went after the hosts calling them 'crazy' and 'psycho' and said Brzezinki was 'bleeding badly from a face-lift' at Mar-a-Lago President Trump's former political nemesis Jeb Bush came out of the woodwork...

n what appeared to be a rare display of actual diversity, MSNBC and NBC News have signed New York Times columnist Bret Stephens while betting that increasing the diversity of voices on their airwaves will ultimately lead to a better news and analysis product. The news was announced on Wednesday, June 28, and later confirmed by the company even though the Times had hired Stephens as an op-ed columnist back in April, which led to complaints that the liberal “Grey Lady” was “sullying its reputation as a purveyor of truth and facts.” According to an article by The Hollywood Reporter's Jeremy Barr: “Stephens is a...

Go ahead and criticize President Trump’s Mika tweet, but there’s no denying this was disturbing. On Thursday’s Hardball, MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews compared the President to not only communist Ethiopian dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam and a modern-day Romanov but also channel Benito Mussolini having son-in-law Jared Kushner murdered. As he’s previously done(documented here, here, and here), Matthews reiterated his belief that Kushner and wife Ivanka Trump are akin to the murderous sons of Saddam Hussein, Uday and Qusay. Let’s first start with Matthews invoking Mengistu. During a tease about reported disarray in the Trump administration with Secretary of State Rex...

Greta Van Susteren is out at MSNBC less than six months after she started at the cable channel. Van Susteren broke the news of her own ouster Thursday, tweeting "I'm out at MSNBC" shortly before the network issued its own announcement. Van Susteren's husband, John Coale, told CNNMoney, "They let her go," and added that she and MSNBC were "working out contract issues now." I am out at MSNBC - — Greta Van Susteren (@greta) June 29, 2017 Well not quite...almost :) https://t.co/M7U0GD6V5V — Greta Van Susteren (@greta) June 29, 2017 CNNMoney also reported that Van Susteren was given no...

All of that having been said, the timing of his Mika/Joe tweets couldn’t have been worse, and amounts to a real unforced error. When we all got up yesterday morning, Trump had CNN and its CEO Jeff Zucker on the ropes. As I pointed out in yesterday’s Campaign Update, CNN was in the horrible position of actually being The Story. The fake news network’s fraudulent behavior and Zucker’s feckless leadership was on everyone’s mind, and pretty much all anyone was talking about. Add to that the fact that the President’s travel ban would go into effect later in the day,...

Well, well.....the disgusting duo of low life, Morning Joe, MSNBC, & Mika...the gutter twins...got their just due!! Great Job, POTUS, Trump. MAGA.....the overwhelming number of Americans love & support you DJT!!!

Cable news host Greta Van Susteren is leaving MSNBC just months after joining the network. “I am out at MSNBC,” Van Susteren tweeted Thursday afternoon.

First Lady Melania Trump’s office defended the president's outburst in a statement: “As First Lady has stated publicly... when her husband gets attacked, he will punch back 10 times harder.” This comes despite Melania’s pre-inauguration promise to dedicate her powers to fighting cyberbullying. White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders additionally told Fox News: “This is a president who fights fire with fire.”

Donald J. Trump‏ Verified account  @realDonaldTrump 11m I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came.. Donald J. Trump‏ Verified account  @realDonaldTrump 5m 5 minutes ago ...to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!

President Trump, in a BOMBSHELL tweet today, revealed that virulent anti-Trump talk show hosts Mika and Joe were visiting his Mar-a-Lago resort last year. The visit, which reports say lasted around three days, could have resulted in a boost to the Trump organization's bottom line. Joe Scarborough and his partner Mika Brzezinski, sources say, may have dined or made other purchases on Trump property. If expenditures were made, it might have resulted in more money for the President's business interests. While many are focused on the President's apparently truthful observation about Mika's elective surgery side effects, few are willing to...

Trump on Thursday went after MSNBC show “Morning Joe” and its hosts, former congressman Joe Scarborough and commentator Mika Brzezinski. He even took a shot at Brzezinski over a supposed facelift. “I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don’t watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year’s Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!” Trump wrote in a pair of tweets.

On Tuesday, in a segment which could easily have been mistaken for parody, MSNBC's Ali Veshi relayed Planned Parenthood's long-discredited and tortured statistic that abortions constitute only three percent of its "services." As he did this, Veshi absurdly disclaimed association with this and other fundamentally dishonest claims by the group, saying "I don’t have enough knowledge" to evaluate them, and that he's "not advocating for Planned Parenthood." After his Sergeant Schultz "I know nothing" routine, Veshi naturally brought on Planned Parenthood spokesperson Alencia Johnson, the group's director of constituency communications, without giving space to anyone with a pro-life viewpoint, or...

“Look, I don’t think that the president’s ever been someone who gets attacked and doesn’t push back. There have been an outrageous number of personal attacks, not just to him but to frankly everyone around him. People on that show have personally attacked me many times, this is a president who fights fire with fire,” Sanders said on Fox News. “And certainly will not be allowed to be bullied by liberal media or liberal elites within the media or Hollywood or anywhere else.”

Wednesday on MSNBC’s “MTP Daily,” host Chuck Todd defended CNN after they retracted a report on Russia and three staffers resigned. Todd said the White House’s “war on the media” is a “war on the truth.” Partial transcript as follows: TODD Welcome back. Tonight—well, not just tonight—but I’m obsessed with the White House’s war on the press and on media. Let’s be clear about this, that war is nothing less than a war on the truth. Do we get it right all the time? Nope, we don’t. And when we don’t, we run a correction, and in some cases, people...

Former acting United States Deputy Secretary of State, Wendy Sherman suggested on Tuesday that Hillary Clinton lost in November in part because Barack Obama was the first African-American President. Wendy Sherman told the audience at the Aspen Ideas Festival, “There is no doubt that we just had eight years of an African-American president is not a factor in all that we are experiencing today.” “When we make a social change, when we make a decision to do something we have never done before, we then take two steps backwards at least.” “I believe in my bones, among the list, I...

Wednesday on MSNBC, political correspondent Kasie Hunt said Republicans on Capitol Hill were getting frustrated with President Donald Trump because he is not helping them with “their big priorities.” Hunt said, “Well, I think, look, the Republicans on Capitol Hill all the way along have had a lot of trouble grappling with President Trump. They didn’t think he was ever going to be president of the United States. A lot of them have a lot of—there are a lot of words that I could not say on television that Republicans will use when they describe Donald Trump in private conversations.”...

“Are you proud, Megyn?” Fox News host Sean Hannity exposed the two individuals most responsible for churning out anti-Trump propaganda — the presidents of CNN and NBC News — and by extension, former Fox News personality Megyn Kelly. He began his Friday night “mini-monologue” by referring to CNN President Jeff Zucker and NBC News/MSNBC Chairman Andy Lack as the “fake news chiefs” and the architects of the “Destroy Trump Media,” and then played clips of specific instances of their over-the-top, unhinged reporting. On the CNN side, those clips included Jim Acosta, Jeffrey Toobin, Brooke Baldwin, Anderson Cooper, Gloria Borger, and...

Yesterday, we noted Kellyanne Conway mocking CNN's Russia fixation. Conway told Alisyn Camerota: "I know that we just like to say the word 'Russia, Russia' to try to mislead the voters. And I know that CNN is aiding and abetting this nonsense as well.” Well, if CNN likes to say "Russia, Russia," we'll need to multiply that 28 times to understand the depth of MSNBC's obsession with the subject. In the first hour of Joy Reid's MSNBC show this morning, the word "Russia" or "Russian" was heard . . . 56 times! View the amusing video here.
