Mika and Joe busy earning head-pats from their master this morning, spinning for Trump

[highplainsdem]

Besides the usual "Trump is REALLY in charge, and we know because we KNOW him" (hint for the Boobsey Twins -- just because he controls you doesn't mean he controls everyone else including Bannon), they're busy attacking the MSM.

This morning they're doing their best to back up Trump's attacks on the MSM being "fake news."

Mika even used the word "puking" to describe mainstream reporting, especially when it's fast-paced to keep up with what Trump and his toadies and cronies are doing.

Mika and Joe's recommendation -- SLOW DOWN, MSM! Pretend it's decades ago and your deadline is tomorrow morning or at the earliest, the evening news. Don't use Twitter, don't try to get the news out fast.

In other words, give all the advantage to Trump, Breitbart, Drudge and Fox to get their version of any story out first, long before the MSM comes out with the real story and provides some perspective.

There's some puking going on, Mika, but it's you regurgitating what Trump has told you to say.

4. I wish MSNBC would get rid of them, but unfortunately Trump's watching the show means the

network can ask advertisers for more money, since companies are hoping to get his attention. That would be likely to offset even fallng ratings, and according to MSNBC, Morning Joe's ratings are improving:

So I check the show at times, to see what they're doing (CNN's programming then is much better for real news), even though Joe's bloviating and Mika's smirking queen-of-the-middle-school-clique attitude are nauseating. They're a window into how the Trump WH is trying to spin the news and control the MSM.

And I thought today's little lecture to the MSM, telling them to slow down, was interesting in light of the emphasis the WH has always put on Twitter and getting propaganda out through fake news online asap.

Mika and Joe want MSM journalists -- real journalists, which they're not -- to hobble themselves, supposedly in the interests of avoiding "fake news."

2. You know the tone of their show by the tweet du jour.

I still don't think they realize it's their fault he's where he is. "Morning Joe" was "Morning Don" for months and months during the campaign.

3. Walk away from "Morning Puke." Everybody. Right now. (nt)
