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!”

Leftist propaganda outfits are not “the press.”

Sounds like Trump needs to handle more press conferences in person. And for some of those Joe can be invited. See how Joe likes it.

“The press always wins.”

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

Yep! And add Ducakass and Carter against Reagan.

Thanks for posting this:

It is interesting in what appear to be legit polls, the liberals are locked at about 35% +/- 5%.

Of course, their illegal alien voters can't read English and only vote on election days and never take these polls.

There’s an old saw about not picking a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel. Well nowadays, they buy it by the pint.

“Scarborough huffed, “Donald Trump has tried to delegitimize the courts”

Joe, honey, the “press” delegitimized” itself by its MASSIVE propaganda effort to elect Hillary and its subsequent, ongoing propaganda effort to destroy President Trump, an effort that’s spun so far our of control that the media now pretty much just publishes nothing but rumors, rumors which are dressed up in “anonymous sources” tuxedos to try to trick the public into thinking they are reading actual “news”.

And all that President Trump has done is voice what we-the-people know and say amongst ourselves about the evil known as the American media. And, Joe, how could President Trump merely voicing our sentiment have any actual impact on the media if in fact the media was actually “legitimate” and respected by the people in the first place?

Steve Bannon was right when he said the media is the true opposition party, given that the Democrat party is nearly moribund at the moment, wandering about lost in the desert, running out of water, and clueless as to what direction to take to escape.

But it ain’t working, Joe. The American people are not stupid like you and the rest of the media believe we are, which is why your propaganda is failing and why the media have approval ratings worse than Congress.

But, memo to Joe and the rest of his presstitute compadres: do keep up the whining; it’s music to our ears!

No it doesn’t, not when it’s been exposed as a dishonest corrupt propaganda machine that no one believes anymore.

The media has only as much power as it has credibility.

Today it’s credibility is approaching zero.

Banjo Boy and his pals in the media think they are fighting the George Bush wing of the Republican Party. They are not. They are fight the George Patton wing of the Republican Party that takes no crap hits back hard and IT always wins.

Doesn’t anyone in the media read spy novels?

The news is ‘fake’ because it was planted by the Trump Admin.

The ‘leaks’ are real because government employees have broken the law and leaked.

Trump told them this quite plainly.

People who work at journalism full time ought to be able to do a better job of it than people for whom it is a hobby. But that's not going to happen as long as we "professional" journalists ignore stories we don't like and try to hide our mistakes. We think of ourselves as "gatekeepers." But

there is not much future in being a gatekeeper when the walls are down.
