Talk about your weak, servile interview. This was pitiful. Given the chance to interview Hillary Clinton on today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski failed to ask a single tough question. Nothing about the email scandal. Nothing about the transcripts of her big-dollar speeches to Wall Street. Nothing about having lost seven of the last eight races to Bernie Sanders.
Instead, Joe and Mika lobbed a series of super-slow softballs. Examples: it must feel good to be back in New York and sleep in your own bed. Multiple questions as to whether Bernie is qualified to be president. Wondering whether Bernie should get out of the race [this the morning after he crushed her in Wisconsin]. Asking if Bernie is a Democrat? They might just of well have skipped the interview and read from Hillary's latest press releases. Joe and Mika squandered the opportunity to put Clinton to the test. A shame.

Did Huma write the questions for Joe and Mika’s pathetic softball interview of Hillary Clinton?
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
To be fair to Hillary, thats why Trump kept on going on that same show too...getting all those lovey questions,
they both avoid Kelly file like the plague, might get asked real ones.
Kiss, kiss, faun, faun.
Disgusting.
Ahhhh...the softer, warmer side of Hillary. Isn’t that precious...
No one know which of the United States of Me Gyn is going to be doing the interview. This month is Buck.
I’m sure Hillary was given the right to approve in advance of the questions which would be asked. That’s her standard practice.
I wondered about that. Has that been reported somewhere?
????
You must have gone to Trump University to learn to write as clear as that.
Expect to see a lot more of Hillary doing the happy, happy, joy, joy with the sycophant media as the commie keeps on trucking and the FBI “interviews” loom closer.
Obviously got a degree in journalism by sending in box tops of Dum Dums.
An absolutely pathetic performance by Joe and Mika. If Joe knew they weren’t going to be able to ask any tough questions, he should have declined to participate and just let Mika have a nice little Coffee Talk with Clinton.
I resent that remark: I got my college degrees in a Cracker Jack box.
PS: I plead guilty to the typo, which I’ve since corrected in the original.
I’m sure there was some stuff that had to be agreed upon, before the beast went on with them.
BTW...how was the old ball game?
One, two, three strikes Joe and Mika are out as serious journalists.
No tough questions for Hillary the Liar? What did you expect out of PMSNBC?
Keep in mind that Hillary’s demonstration of noblesse oblige by granting an interview requires obeisance in return. Did Hillary allow Joe and Mika to kiss her ring?
they both avoid Kelly file like the plague, might get asked real ones.

Being asked tough questions is OK. Subjecting yourself to being badgered by an unprofessional and immature person is not. Ms. Kelly has damaged her career through self-afflicted wounds. It seems she has cleaned up her act lately however (probably at the insistence of Fox after watching her ratings slide).
Bill O’Reilly also seems to also be suffering from his badgering and interrupting guests. He isn’t getting many prominent/significant newsmakers to come on his shows anymore.
In both cases, their shows seem to be more about them than the guests. Tough questions are not a problem; being attacked by out of control egos is.
WWE Smackdown is far more spontaneous than a Clinton "interview."
The American people are being handed a stage-managed election.
