Scarborough: No Republican Has Hosted Network Sunday Show or Newscast in 50 Years

In the wake of the CNBC debate debacle, Joe Scarborough went on an epic rant on liberal media bias on today's Morning Joe. He summed things up this way, in challenging the panel: "you can't do it and nobody here can do it: name the single Republican that has hosted a Sunday show, that has been an anchor of a news network for the big three networks over the past 50 years: you can not do it."

Mark Halperin largely agreed, saying "there's huge liberal media bias." But Mike Barnicle actually claimed that having fair moderators would be a bad thing for Republicans because they would lose their ability to run against the media.

“Mike Barnicle actually claimed that having fair moderators would be a bad thing for Republicans because they would lose their ability to run against the media.”

Isn’t that mindset kinda like having to burn the village to save the village?

Nixon had a heavily Democrat House and Senate. Exactly how would you propose he could have turned back the “Great Society?” Do not blame anyone but LBJ for that and the $Trillions of debt it has incurred ever since.

EPA was coming one way or the other; he started it to make it less intrusive tho it has become that. I don’t think you fully understand the impact of the then-Democrat controlled political picture. They controlled the legislature, and the bureaucracies (and still control the latter).

Note that Reagan, the “ultimate conservative,” didn’t undo the Department of Education put in by Carter.

Nixon didn’t hate America, Obama does.
