Joe Scarborough (R-Dead Intern, Schtupping Mika) was working with Trump

All election season. Why aren't we calling for him to be fired?

When the media gives one side cart blanche on free publicity, and we have to deal with that tripe AND have them shove down our throats that THAT is the "liberal media", it's time to call them on it.

3. Joe has this folksy way of trying to be sincere while talking complete and utter BS

Mica enables him.

They're both disingenuous and display the analytical capabilities of a wet plastic bag.

I think Joe must have some real serious dirt on someone high up in NBC or Comcast. Otherwise, it makes no sense. People have been fired fr NBC/MSNBC for much less than he has done.

Reporters from almost every network were caught coaching Trump and or receiving gifts from him during the primaries. I doubt that the same networks that sat on video of Trump bribing foreign officials with cold hard cash and bragging about grabbing peoples genitals care much about what the American public think. NBC's silence as Trump and others threatened their employees should tell you all you need to know about their motives.

Unless our representatives start calling them out, on air, our complaints will just continue to be dismissed. Where was the push back while the media convinced the public that they supported Hillary?
