Emotional Brzezinski Pleads for Fox ‘Puppets’ to Rediscover ‘Goodness,’ ‘Objectivity’

[See NewsBusters for more.] Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski went on an unhinged, emotional rant about Fox News on Friday, decrying the network as full of “puppets” who need to rediscover the “goodness” and “objectivity” inside them. Yes, someone on MSNBC said this. Apparently angry because Sean Hannity mocked her husband, Joe Scarborough, on Thursday night, Brzezinski fumed, “We often try and sort of stay away from our colleagues in the business, but Fox News has several puppets for this President constantly going on the air, constantly repeating what he says verbatim.” Claiming that she doesn’t really want to trash her competitor over at Fox, Brzezinski lobbied for a return to peace and goodness: “We try and stay away from it. We try and hope that Fox News will do their best, that there are other hosts on the network that really step up and do the right thing. We hope that prevails. We hope that goodness prevails, and we hope that ability to be objective prevails, and try to put the facts first. But we repeatedly see it not happening on certain shows.”
