By CAITLIN MACNEAL Published DECEMBER 16, 2016, 9:02 AM EDT
The co-hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, have come under fire for their coverage of Donald Trump, but the two morning show hosts argue that the criticism is unfounded and that they have in fact been tough on Trump.
Its not fair, Brzezinski told Vanity Fair in an interview published Thursday night. No one has been tougher on Donald Trump than Joe and I.
Scarborough has acknowledged that he and Brzezinski speak with Trump regularly. And last month, a rival morning show host, CNN's Chris Cuomo, described the "Morning Joe" hosts as Trump spokespeople.

They have always been boosters. Things turned south when trump froze them out but coverage always stilted. They are transition spokesmen now

(82,849 posts)The rally cry of all persons Trump. Whenever Trump doesn't want to address his wrongdoings, he bleats how "unfair" it is to hold him accountable for his actions. And why shouldn't he? It works so well practically every time he complains about how unfair life is for him. None of the popular media folks ask him what's unfair about anything, and they're more than happy to change the subject when he complains about unfairness.
We don't have to believe it, though, and we should never tire of pointing it out. Make these fuckers at least learn a new trick.
