Surprising! Morning Joe Praises Fox News, Criticizes DNC's FNC Ban

MSNBC: the place for praise of Fox News? Hardly! But today's Morning Joe did offer up a surprising dose of praise for Fox News, and criticism of DNC chairman Tom Perez for nixing the notion of the network hosting a Dem presidential debate.

The unexpected remarks came in reaction to yesterday's Bernie Sanders town hall on FNC, hosted by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. Mika Brzezinski began the parade of praise, noting that Fox is making an effort to be open to different points of view, "and I think it's great." Noting that FNC had invited a politically-diverse audience to the town hall, Mika said, "that's called TV news. That's called covering a campaign."

After Willie Geist reported that DNC chairman Tom Perez is not reconsidering his decision not to permit FNC to host a Dem presidential debate, Mike Barnicle said that Perez "is so far off the mark."

That confirms it, I made the correct move to turn off Fox any time I see Harf, Brazille or a Bernie Sanders rally happening. As they turn left, I turn OFF.

Flying pig moment as Morning Joe praises Fox News handling of Bernie town hall, criticizes DNC for banning FNC prez debates. Panel praised numerous FNC personalities by name, which was fine . . . except that they included Shep Smith!

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Was Perez referring to a Dem primary presidential debate or a debate for the general election?

Lol. I caught part of that and the audience was stacked with socialist supporters. But, I did think theFOX crew DID show the tv audience what a twit Bernie is.

If Morning Joe wasn’t mentioned, he and his show would be the last thing I’d think of.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Many Trump Fans & Signs were outside of the @FoxNews
Studio last night in the now thriving (Thank you President Trump) Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, for the interview with Crazy Bernie Sanders. Big complaints about not being let in-stuffed with Bernie supporters. What’s with @FoxNews?

Perez was apparently referring to Dem primary debates.

Trump has already said: “No Fox, no me.”

Only one question for this image: Mika once reportedly went to the trouble of facial surgery when Trump said she could bleed on everyone.

But she will not go to the trouble of changing her exact hair style——ever? A really old picture showed her with longer hair looking like one of the weekend weather girls on a small market TV station.
Why does she keep this and only this hairstyle?

The Democrats don’the want honest questions. They prefer to have the questions before the debates.

Harf, Brazille, Shemp, Wallace, Rivera and Williams really stink up the place. I can’t make myself watch it.
