Hot Mic Catches Morning Joe Groveling To Trump

The RNC is getting a lot of the blame for the creation of this monster. Some are blaming Fox News. But some other media personalities helped build this Frankenstein… including Joe Scarborough. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola (ThinkTank) hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"All-time great comedian Harry Shearer, the man who brought us voices from The Simpsons and cucumber-hoarding bass player Derek Smalls in This Is Spinal Tap, has broken an embarrassing story about us journalists.

"You know what I thought was kind of a wow moment, was the guy you brought up on stage," Mika says.

"We played it several times this morning!" adds a breathless Scarborough.

An approving Trump here verbally extends his ring to be kissed. "I watched your show this morning," he says. "You have me almost as a legendary figure, I like that.””*

As a European, I am addicted to US politics, it's the best reality show in the world

They cut the 'hot mic' just seconds before you can hear the *slurp* sounds coming from Joe's 'purty mouth'.

[lolabigcups]

You just know the mic guy was like, im getting this shit on tape!

[TheSaltyAdmiral]

It's *SICK* that this is supposed to be the "Fourth Estate" in our democracy.

[artistformerlyknownasal-ma]

As a European. This is all very funny to me

$75 mill on anti-ads alone? They honestly don't want to create jobs, do they? I have never witnessed such a level of wickedness in my entire life.

The Morning Joe should be changed to The Morning Joke.

People! Regardless of who is elected. We need to get Bernie vs Trump! Trump supporters and Bernie supporters need to make this happen. So that means we need them to become nominees of their party.

[chrisgary]

I want Trump to be the the nom so Bernie can embarrass him and show how terrible his ideas are

[amberviola]

I used to watch Morning Joe in the mornings before work. I stopped because the whole hour I was watching became Trump hour! That's all they talked about. No other national news and no other candidates!!

[Lerkero]

It's great that Cenk previously worked for MSNBC because his opinion seems more valid. He's been there.

"Nothing too hard, Mika."

[CrystalsandCandles]

I've listened to this four times...  Trump didn't sound like he was joking about "no hard questions" to me

[arthurneddysmith]

Yeah ... I didn't perceive "nothing too hard, Mika" as a joke at all. The fact that she immediately said, "OK" only confirms that impression to me.

[MacKenzieisloitering]

"Nothing too hard..." Basically should be Trump's campaign slogan.

"Nothing, nothing too hard Mika." - Donald Trump

Journalism is still rolling in its grave~

[henryblanton]

TRUMP2016! They know who's winning.

John had the opportunity to ask DWS some tough questions and pressure her but he didn't. So... don't wanna hear it.

[davidto]

john says interviewers should be tough and not fear of being black listed by but when he interviewed Debbie Wasserman Schultz he threw softballs after softballs

[TheLastMugwort]

My jaw was open the entire time, I always knew that the media did this, but just listening to it is like crazy

[prideventues]

Why are they not disqualified as journalists!!! I never considered them journalists anyway but this just tells the truth.
