You pathetic little people of the blogosphere. You're nothing more than "nitwits at home with [your] computers" who've deluded yourselves into imagining you're "part of the news media." Just ask Mike Barnicle. The former Boston Globe columnist broke the tough truth to us on today's Morning Joe. WaPo editorial writer Jonathan Capehart was "so glad" to agree.
Capehart was in full courtier mode to Mika Brzezinski, anchoring the show during Joe Scarborough's extended absence awaiting the birth of a child home in Florida. When executive producer Chris Licht read a viewer email critical of Mika, Capehart leapt to her defense, and it was then that Barnicle and he sniffed at the pretenders of the pajamahadeen.

Barnicle looks down his nose at bloggers ping to Today show list.
On MSNBC? Figures.
So this moonbat “reporter” doesn’t like bloggers? Must be an elitists’ problem - too frickin’ bad, they’re here to stay.
If Barnicle is so smart, maybe he can explain why his customers are dumping him in droves and looking to nitwits for their news.
Barnicle probably uses bloggers to steal his material. I’m
waiting for Mika to announce she’s going to Calif. to get
married.
Wasn’t Barnicle fired from the Boston Globe for plagiarism?
Just ask Dan Rather...
Jealousy - he just wishes he had our salary.
Job insecurity methinks.
Joe's house is expecting a child? Who knew?
Plagiarism didn't kill his career, although it may be on life-support.
Plagiarists can always find a home at PMSLSD.
Barnicle has been a Democrat hack from day one, that’s why he fits right in at NBC.
Good post as always, Mark. BTW, Did you catch Richard Clarke on Keith Olbermann at 8:40PM ET last night?
Clarke referred to al-Qaeda as a country not a terrorist organization. Wish I had a link to show you.
Keith asked him a question and he replied something along the lines of, “yeah, all these countries, like Iraq, North Korea, the former Soviet Union, al-Qaeda, Iran, etc..........”
And really al-Qaeda is not a country, of course.
Just didn’t know if anyone else caught this and if so, why would he be designating al-Qaeda as its own country?
Barnicle is an unwanted growth on a vessel hull!
Nothing will ever replace a good buggy-whip, eh Mr. Barnicle?
Couple of girly men for sure.
I thought the program was bad with Scarborough there.
It has now become utterly unwatchable...so thanks for your diligence.
Just another commentator who is upset that the blogosphere sees right through the agenda of the drive-by media and reports the honest truth instead of trying to create news out of thin air.
Thanks, lu. My tag line notwithstanding, I usually draw the line at watching Olbermann!
