The MSNBC Morning Joe/David Frum kerfuffle is particularly ironic in light of (a) the fact that it was NBC News that reported how Fox employees worried about Hegseth’s drinking … (1/2)

We support our anchors & will continue to report the facts. We will not be bullied into submission by a man who only feeds his ego and gets off by having people fear him. We know we can’t criticize congress for not having a backbone if we ourselves cave in.

Frum told a JOKE. @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social overreacted. Let’s get past it
I’m more bothered by the mar-a-Lardo visit, despite their defense
But pretty sure O'Reilly doesn't drink
That said, maybe he fell off the wagon
Hope so
SNL bent over backwards, if not to sanewash Trump, at least to feed-into the whole "Biden is senile" GOP talking point. Both sides you know!
BTW whatever happened to that one? It used to be EVERY NEWS CYCLE!
It's been deteriorating for several years and now it's totally unwatchable.

All that angst only proves Frum was spot on!
They kissed Dump's ass and they're angry for getting called out!
I do care the morning they announced it they spent what seemed like an hour backtracking and soft pedaling.
It wasn't talking to Trump that is the issue, it's what's coming out of their own mouths.
We have the read of the man. We have an entire damn encyclopedia on his lying, felonious, duplicitous ways
I call BS. 😡
They’re trying, and failing, to have it both ways
Say we still had legitimate journalists, and Walter Cronkite is alive.
What does he do with Trump?
Mike Douglas? Murrow? Sevareid?
I want to imagine a world where journalists have integrity and report the truth. They stand up to gov./Corp. abuses.
It will soon be Fox News 2.0.
MSNBC, NYT, WaPo, LAT, CNN, et al....ALL OF THEM...need to be boycotted to death.
Just bad, pitiful journalism.
Trump has never showed 1 ounce of civility to anyone. You’re doing this for inclusion and contact hoping it drives ratings. Stop talking down to us like we’re all fucking stupid.

If that's how it's gonna be, the only guests they should get are Bannon and company.
They all have the requisite spine deficiency.
Seems par for the course with the Trump administration. He's putting nothing but a bunch of losers in high ranking positions and there's no mystery about why we see a revolving door.
And BTW this wasn't the first time there was an issue between NBC and Fox "news". Decades ago the brave ones like @keitholbermann.bsky.social barely won that battle. Now that Comcast is selling off MSNBC the issue is monetary
Joe and Mika on a 15 minute rant about how they're doing their jobs.
It's wild.

And they did apologize despite Joe’s denial.
And they are wrong. Sucking up to Trump is what it is. They did it. They thought telling people they did makes it ok. It doesn’t.
They say everyone is doing it. So…
… that doesn’t make it any better. Joe u F’d up
I don’t ever remember them apologizing for THAT. But a mild comment about Fox News gets a 5 minute apology??
Having said that, if Hegseth thinks HIS sobriety is a bargaining chip for the Secretary of Defense role, then this is an empty promise from a narcissistic soul still in denial.
He still has some work to do in wrestling his demons.
She's self-serving, esp w/David Frum incident.
I'll miss the guests, but never give J&M another minute.
That can’t be natural, can it?
Someone should do research on the relationship between autocracy, plastic surgery, and disassociation/unresolved trauma.
The "Mika Culpa" was not about Hegseth but about the Very Fine People at (Murdoch's) Fox
Mika had Comcast in her ear
Comcast has MSNBC on the block
Murdoch owns a ton of media
Murdoch acquires media
DO THE MATH.

he can't do a decent job in a small organization, putting him in charge of DoD is sabotage.

We're in for at least 4 years of anyone following rules, regulations and act like a caring human beings ridiculed. Not just politicians, but every last one of us.
He truly is Putin’s agent.
Morning Joe? Tried to watch a few times over the years but he never shut up.
therefore, frum's comment was fact and not "flippant", OMFG 🙃
We're back to that Joe
AND Rachel Maddow💙
AND Lawrence O’Donnell💙
And the media keeps missing the point! Sigh.
The words (and delivery) speak for themselves. The duo is walking on eggshells because they're terrified of Trump.
You just don't do it, let it go, they are always above that type of correction..
Mar-a-lago and grovel at the feet of a dictator.
Did he gave them job yet ?
And, I guess, mock them on social media which is equally inconsequential.
Pathetic. They are barred from my home- I may just dump everything NBC.
No, it was fear.
They went to MAL for reasons of civility. Not one American should be civil in the face of fascism.
I remember MSNBC.
I still read David Frum.
We're back to that Joe
Yes, it sounds pretty silly when you think of it, doesn't it.
Brian Kilmeade would immediately apologize to MSNBC on behalf of that guest. Wait that happens every day and they just laugh and laugh and laugh.
Because I haven’t seen them since…November 5.
