Just one day after he slammed Republicans and newspaper editorials for focusing their efforts on the leaks out of the White House instead of the substance of General Michael Flynn‘s impropriety, Joe Scarborough was back criticizing the Wall Street Journal for its “thinly-sourced” attention-grabbing headline this morning.

Late Wednesday, the Journal‘s story by Shane Harris and Carol E. Lee reported that members of the intel community have been intentionally withholding information from President Donald Trump out of fear that the materials could become compromised. The Wall Street Journal said:

The officials’ decision to keep information from Mr. Trump underscores the deep mistrust that has developed between the intelligence community and the president over his team’s contacts with the Russian government, as well as the enmity he has shown toward U.S. spy agencies.

But Scarborough Thursday morning slammed the pages of the WSJ, identifying the about-face that the paper seems to have undertaken since Trump was elected to the Presidency. “There is no doubt the Wall Street Journal has gone from being the most hostile conservative voice toward Donald Trump during the campaign to certainly now seeming to bend over backwards to actually parrot much of what the administration puts out.”
