Oh, Lord. Joe and Mika went to Mar-a-lago. "What we did agree on," Mika said, "was to restart communications." Access. "He seemed interested in finding common ground with Democrats." Credulity. They revert to their mean.

2. "He seemed interested in finding common ground with Democrats."

Better think again.

[luvallpeeps]

3. Mika doesn't wanna bleed

From her “wherever”.

4. "He seemed interested in finding common ground with Democrats."

Sure he did. How the fuck would YOU know?

6. They are lying, even they do not believe this BS.

[dchill]

9. But ACCESS!

[Irish_Dem]

11. It has nothing to do with access at all.

It is about survival.
They wish to remain in their positions and still make money.
And avoid death threats.

5. The entire US government caved.

Everyone folded like a lawn chair.
Courts, judges, congress, DOJ, Supreme Court.
Most of the media caved a long time ago.
Now everyone is onboard.

Heil Hitler.

7. We need to change the words to the anthem

We are now the land of the cowards, and the home of the slaves

8. Is this recent?

I won't be clicking the video because I don't want to hear Scarborough's voice. As far as I am concerned he and Trump are like two peas in a PoD.

We all know he is "Stunningly superficial"! 😑

10. Ah yes, the MSM

They were pounding the message that DT was an authoritarian and a fascist. Example after example to keep the libs all riled up and watching their shows. I believe at one point MSNBC ratings were second to Fox. But they only went so far, like a guard dog on a chain. Remember how the documentary on child separation had to be delayed until after the election? Because underneath of it all, they are all owned by corporations.

Now that we left in droves, tired of the sane washing and post mortem blame of Biden or Harris, they are trying to survive. They think liberals have to be centrist, and have a Kumbaya moment. I never see that on RW media. I never see them reaching across the aisle. So eff them.

I feel sorry for the good journalists such as Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, Lawrence O'Donnell. I gave up on CNN when they started bringing in former Republicans to be "fair and balanced". MSNBC did that too, especially on Ari. But I am done. I am thankful for alternative media sources, forums such as DU, and loving Bluesky. These outlets need our support and money, not corporations. I will "vote" with my dollar or as the Republicans like to say "cancel".

12. Name one time since pus sack rode down that escalator the corporate media

hasn't caved in and covered him breathlessly.

13. Key point.

“Don’t be mistaken, we’re not here to defend or normalize Donald Trump,” Scarborough told his audience Monday. “We’re here to report on him and to hopefully provide you insights and better equip all of us to understand these deeply unsettling times.”

They're not caving IMO. They're keeping their friends close and enemies closer.

[GusBob]

14. Just don't watch

Turn it off

Hint: I’ll be gone the rest of today It’s gorgeous out

There are so many more better ways and productive ways to spend your time

Tv is a waste of time

15. Code for ... we don't want to be on the enemy list

so, we joined the leopard eating face party
