False equivalencing again on Morning Joe.
Joe is actually right, Clinton's problem is only stylistic.

(37,364 posts)I only tuned into the show this morning to get their reaction. After about five minutes, I remembered why I quit watching years ago. Good grief, a tired roster of old neocon supply-side apologists. Kinda sad when Geist sounds like the team member with gravitas.

(1,685 posts)Morning Joe is a stuttering mess. I can't take Mika seriously because she's sleeping with Joe Scarborough and instead of talking about the bribe of the Florida AG, we are STILL talking about the god damned emails. The truth is the show makes really bad choices for what to talk about. Scarborough needs to be punched in the nose about his content choices. Figuratively.

(1,907 posts)If she said exactly what they want her to say. She did a telephone interview with them and afterward they still weren't satisfied. Each time including this morning joe the morning joke is saying Hillary has to say this. Hey, joe the joke you got to ask questions. You don't get to dictate what she answers.

THIS is the kind of bullshit they do, demanding her to do the things they slam her on.

jeanmarc
(1,685 posts)...and because he's calling Joe and Mika names on Twitter, they stopped kissing ass, but they're still faking it with the email stuff. Have to look impartial. It's not working.
Morning Joe sucks. There are loads of stories on Trump.

(10,878 posts)Johnson will be on Morning Joe this morning.
Imagine that.
I think Repubs and their sympathizes fully realize that Johnsnson must be on the debate
stage to help Trump eat up some time.
Otherwise, Hillary will eviscerate Trump in a one on one 90 minute debate with no breaks.
Johnson has to hit an avg of 15% in these five polls:
Abc, NBC, cbs, fox, cnn.
At last check, he was at only 10%.
Would not be surprised if conservatives are told to start lying to pollsters that they support Johnson and not Trump to get Johnson to 15%
But, the clock is ticking with debate on 9/26.

Halperin can't see an inch beyond his hatred of the Clintons. He shouldn't be on any political discussion forums.
