https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/what-the-media-doesn-t-show-about-western-support-for-ukraine-and-can-t-135128133797Joe Scarborough and Mika Brezinski discuss what the media doesn't and can't show about the Western world's support for Ukraine, and why. "There's a lack of proper context in news, in what Americans are seeing and what Americans are reading," Joe says. The "massive amount of weapons that are moving from Poland into Ukraine" have to be handled quietly by the government, and news media is not invited. "It's giving Americans a skewed sense."

The hosts' blabbering & Joe's shouting at times gets to me, but in this case i agree with them and glad they're pointing out the fact all the work in the background on transfer of arms, intelligence support, etc. are not publicized (probably asked not to) by the American MSM.

(30,613 posts)The jet fiasco looks pretty embarrassing (we can't seem to make up our minds). But there may be undercurrents that totally change the context.

I think of idiots like Rubio and Daines sharing photos of Zelensky, a man survived 3 assassination attempts...do we want Cawthorn, Boebert, Greene, Gosar aware of what the US and its allies are doing in support of Ukraine...hell no!!!

It has dawned on me that clearly the government cannot tell us everything they are doing in real time.

PatSeg
(46,800 posts)when Joe isn't around. Then she acts relatively normal for the most part but together they are hard to watch. They are that couple that takes their marital problems with them wherever they go, making everyone else uncomfortable. Then Joe goes on his egotistical rants where he thinks he is the only person in the room, while everyone else tries to not roll their eyes on camera. We've all known people like them and would never want to watch them on TV.

(46,800 posts)They do have some good guests and cover a lot of relevant issues, but Joe for the most part is insufferable. He filibusters, interrupts people, talks over them, and bullies anyone who he disagrees with. I think Mika's late father summed him up perfectly when he said Joe was "stunningly superficial", something that Joe even admitted on TV.
Also if he doesn't like someone, he is blatantly rude and obnoxious on camera. I think he's even gotten some people fired. It is funny as he used to have a show called Scarborough Country that was on in primetime and he didn't act like that back then. I guess he figured that in the early morning he could let his hair down and do whatever he wanted and no one would care.
I rarely ever watch the show anymore, but I tuned in a couple times because of the invasion of Ukraine. Apparently some things don't change. He's not as conservative as he was years ago, but he's still insolent and overbearing.
