Morning Joe has decided to tackle the media this week and despite the irony, okay, I get it, it's still really important when an influential show is calling out their own cohort.
"I've been called and people have asked me my opinion because we've known Trump for a long time, how do you interview Trump?" Joe Scarborough said.
"You start by asking the question that a lot of people ask, and you have to ask this question, is Joe Biden president of the United States, do you still not believe that Joe Biden -- and then you just hammer him, and you can't let it go on to economic development."
He talked about the insanity of the playing of the refs on the Hunter Biden laptop.
"And somebody very well-respected in the media who, you know, likes to think of himself as a truth teller. Oh, I'm going to tell the truth against what the mainstream media says, I'm progressive, but I'm a truth teller, right?'
"And so, after Donald Trump was contesting the election he goes, yeah, that's bad, but what about Hunter Biden's laptop? And I'm like, what, I'm sorry, we're in the middle of an American presidential election being stolen. Yeah, you know, there have been articles written about Hunter Biden's laptop and I sent him four or five articles about Hunter Biden, and sent him articles that have been written in the past about Hunter Biden, and some of the questionable business dealings he did going back to 2019, 2020, before the Biden campaign.
And then after January 6th. you know, the same emails, yeah, you're talking about this so much, what about Hunter Biden's laptop?"
(Why do I keep hearing Tom Brokaw's voice?)
Scarborough called it "truth telling without any perspective whatsoever."
"It reminds me of what George Orwell would write back during World War II talking about how horrible democracy was, and all you had to do was talk to a fascist or a communist and they would tell you how horrible democracy was. And Orwell would say some of these arguments are really true, and maybe we could take more faith in them if you put them in proper perspective and you didn't realize that all these communists and fascists from across the world, once the first shots were fired in World War II, all fled to America, and all fled to England, and all fled to these democracies that they said was corrupt.
"That's what I'm saying, there's no perspective here, but they play the refs ceaselessly and a lot of people in mainstream media are stupid enough to fall for it."
