Joe Scarborough began with a telling admission: that if he were running the Republican party, he wouldn't let MSNBC host a GOP debate.
But the Morning Joe host went on to make an interesting point: that if MSNBC or another MSM network had hit Donald Trump with the same sort of gotcha questions that Fox News did during this past Thursday night's debate, the reaction from conservatives would be…
If a woman announced on live national TV that she had shoplifted an iPhone, there'd presumably be a cop at the studio door to greet her. So why is it that someone can blithely announce on national TV that she's in the country illegally, and far from fearing any repercussions, have her views on the American presidential election respectfully solicited?
It happened this morning, when MSNBC…
On today's Moning Joe, when Josh Earnest said that President Obama believes that picking Biden as his VP was the "smartest decision he ever made in politics," Joe Scarborough made the mischievous-but-logical point that Obama must thus believe that picking Biden was smarter than picking Hillary as his Secretary of State. Though Mika interrupted to say that's not what he meant, Earnest never said…
Joe Scarborough chose to couch his criticism with in exculpating explanation, claiming that reporters "try to be as fair as possible" and that their bias is "unintended." But his bottom line was still this: that media bias is at its worst when it comes to the issue of abortion.
Speaking on today's Morning Joe, Scarborough took his critique a significant step further, asserting that if a…

This is fodder for James Taranto's "everything is seemingly spinning out of control" file. Howard Dean has declared that he'll have to be "more humble" about Donald Trump's prospects and will "have to stop making fun" of him for now.
What's got Dean doing a 180 on Trump? Not just the latest polls, which include one showing Trump trouncing Jeb and Rubio in their home state of Florida. Above all,…
Video cross-posted here at NewsBusters. Questions for Mike Barnicle: does the phrase "suicide bomber" ring a bell? How about "martyrdom" in the name of Allah?
On today's Morning Joe, Barnicle's argument in favor of the Iran deal was that to oppose it, one would "have to believe Iran is suicidal." Barnicle reasoned that if Iran dropped an atomic bomb on Tel Aviv, "Tehran would be a combination of…
What did NBC think they were getting when they hired as a "contributor" someone who served as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's translator and who in that role repeated his vicious anti-Semitic rants?
On Chris Hayes' MSNBC show this evening, Hooman Majd claimed the Iran deal is "a good deal for Iran, probably a better deal for the US," and that the US is not giving up anything, that there is no "signing…
Israelis wouldn't have to be marched to ovens. The ovens would come to them. They would come in the form of an atomic bomb, which burns hotter than an oven.
On today's Morning Joe, Eugene Robinson said that he was "offended" by Mike Huckabee's remark that President Obama's Iran deal would "take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven." Huckabee said the comment runs counter to the…
Is Hillary hearing donkey hoofbeats? On his Weekly Standard podcast today, Bill Kristol put the odds at "better than 50/50" that one or more of Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden or John Kerry would jump into the race against a Hillary Clinton whom he described as "extraordinarily weak."
Kristol made an undeniable point, to wit, that "if someone came in and gave you [her] poll numbers, you would look…
