Seriously Morning Joe Scum hosts and regular guests

[malaise]

John Bercow did not attend a public school - Public schools are elite private schools in Britain. He attended Frith Manor Primary School in Woodside Park, and Finchley Manorhill, a large comprehensive school in North Finchley.


Stop parading your utter ignorance

1. Its their alternative fact reality on display. Ignorance is bliss on any level for them.

[madaboutharry]

2. I would give them some slack on this.

I know that a “Public” school in the UK is not like an American public school, but I know that from the time I spent two semesters abroad there. I would bet very few Americans know this.

[malaise]

3. The fact that they know he is working class and were celebrating that

means they should have done their homework. I can't believe that not one of them knew that. Boris must be pissed at the thought of John Bercow attending one of his elite institutions.
Laziness must not get a pass

5. Do their homework?! LOL. What a thought!

[tanyev]

7. If only there were a way for a news organization to quickly look up information these days.

[malaise]

16. I knew he didn't attend any British public school

All I did was google Bercow schools and low and behold his entire educational profile was in front of me.

Now let me be honest - I usually but don't always double check before running my mouth but I am not a host on a TV program and I have no problem saying I was wrong.

14. Agree...lazy journalism...

[hlthe2b]

4. Yeah, There are lots of "Britainisms" that escape Americans. Just like the "table the vote" confused

so many. In the US, it means to essentially "scrap" it / put it aside. In the Uk, it means to move the vote forward.

There are lots of these.

[malaise]

6. It is both laziness and arrogance

It sure pisses me off

8. That was Mike Barnicle's face-palm remark.

Seriously, that guy rarely says anything noteworthy unless for its ignorance.

[malaise]

9. Yes it was Barnicle but not one person corrected him

Stunning ignorance

[JaneQPublic]

10. Too bad Katy Kay wasn't on the panel this morning.

She would've given them an education, just like she did when she explained why the average Brit wasn't excited at the prospect of a new trade deal with the U.S.: chlorinated meat, genetically modified produce, etc.

11. +1,000

Excellent point

12. EDIT to correct: HALPERIN, not Heileman

My wrong post was this: & was it HEILEMAN back on the air?!1 How did *that* happen?

[HipChick]

13. It's Halperin who is the issue..

not Heileman...

[CTyankee]

15. What's he doing now? That guy was banned from MSNBC entirely, IIRC.

He was promptly banned from Morning Joe (I remember Mika having a fit).

Heileman wasn't involved in Halperin's sexual harassment and never has been implicated since. I like Heileman. He's pretty straightforward, no bullshit, IMO...

[malaise]

17. There was a post here last week

about JoeScum and Mika trying to sneak Halperin back in and a big screaming match that followed between an NBC top dog and Halperin.

[CTyankee]

18. Mika and Joe need to be a bit more circumspect about sexual impropriety...

people remember when they weren't married (she was married to someone else, he was separated from his 2nd wife). Even SNL did satires on their onscreen behavior which were very funny.

[malaise]

20. Yes indeed -I think the Con threatened to expose them

Additionally she pretends to be this defender of women.
