At a moment when even some on the left are criticizing the liberal media's wildly overheated coverage of the Mueller probe and "Russia-gate," one angry voice is out there, bitterly defending the MSM's excesses.
His name is Joe Scarborough, and he opened today's Morning Joe with an epic rant in defense of the liberal media, and in denunciation of its critics.
The essence of Scarborough's tirade was that the MSM had no choice but to cover the story the way that it did, given the "lies," admitted and alleged, by a variety of Trump associates regarding contacts with Russians.
A visibly agitated Scarborough spit venom at those who have dared to criticize the MSM for its coverage.
"Just because you're sucking up to Donald Trump and just because power is all that matters to you, and just because you will justify everything that man does and just because you are corrupt, just because you're not a journalist, just because you have sold your soul to a personality, don't knock reporters at the New York Times or the Washington Post or the Wall Street Journal or the broadcast networks for doing their job right."

He’s gone full retard, Jim. Never go full retard.
What was the twisted path by which Scarborough went from being part of the Gingrich revolution to being a defender of the worst excesses of the liberal media?
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
There are those you might hold the truth to the intern he disposed of.
Mika...
She must be better than she looks.
Money. He’s paid well. There are some people who will do anything for enough money.
This is too much. It's like Hussein regime never existed.
This is wonderful. The media has lost all credibility for the foreseeable future so no one will believe anything they say. Millions have shifted to Trump 2020 because of these lies so just keep it up. I have had conversations with Rinos and Independents and I assure you that 2020 is ours. The deep state is finished and the rinos are now bowing down to Trump in ignominious humiliation. This was the greatest political scandal in history and our President stood strong in the wind and defeated the attempted Coup D tat. It is now time for retribution and hangings of the traitors. Bring it on.
She probably has him by the gonads and on a short leash.
Any update on the naked dead intern Joe?
I can’t wait until Trump gets a second term.
Having to defend fake news makes Joe fit to be tied. Its a good day.
Full steaming pile.
Slow Joe’s rant wouldn’t ring so hollow if the media didn’t spend the entire eight years of Obama’s administration kissing his ass.
I have trouble with that one, too. It's properly written as, coup d'état.
Darn French.
It’s almost like someone planned the media take down.
Banjo Boy is upset. Bit he kin squeal lik a pig.
