Scarborough is so full of shit...
Morning Joe, The Teabagging Party and Republican Controlled Media rushed this story out... And now he wants us to believe his Fake Outrage on how he can’t believe the Obama Administration fired Shirley Sherrod without doing their homework, well Morning Freaking Joe, it wouldn’t have been a firing, if you and your Republican Controlled Media had done your homework as well...
It must have infuriated Joe Scarborough that his show was the only show that choose to run the Breitbart Story.
Because from what I can see, and I may be wrong on this... but Morning Joe was the only program on his MSNBC to run with the Fox News/Breitbart Version, of the reverse racism story of Shirley Sherrod.
So why didn't the rest of MSNBC follow his lead, if his justification was "we didn't run the story until we had confirmation that someone in the Obama Administration had actually fired Shirley Sherrod"... why wasn't that enough for the rest of MSNBC Programing?
As pointed out, Savannah and Chuck of the Daily Roundown didn't run with the story....While sitting in for Chris Jansing, I didn't recall Norah O’Donnell running with the story, Tamron Hall didn’t run with it, Contessa Brewer didn’t run with, Andrea Mitchell didn’t run with, Thomas Roberts who also set in for Chris Jansing didn't run with the manufactured story.
In fact, the first time I heard the Fox Version was on Morning Joe, and it wasn’t until Dylan Ratigan Show, that the FACTS started coming into light,
follow by Hardball with Chris Matthews,
And Ed had it as breaking news
and a Countdown with Lawrence O’Donnell and of course you had the always thorough and competence of Rachel Maddow...
Considering that Joe Scarborough is "Suppose" to be a lawyer he should have known better, but who am I kidding, any time there is a potential story to make the Obama Administration look bad you can always count on Joe Scarborough and his Morning Joe staff to run with it, and let the facts be dammed...
Even as many on the panel this morning tried to show some dignity including Pat Buchanan surprisingly, Joe Scarborough couldn't bring him self to do this the same...
Now don’t get me wrong, some in the Obama Administration acted hastily in their firing of Shirely Sherrod, and in the manner in which they asked her to resigned simply cannot be defended (and I am a huge Obama supporter) but to get up this morning and watch the full of shit Joe Scarborough, try to remove himself and his Republican Media friend from blame is unfreaking believable...
MORNING JOE was the only MSNBC Story to run with the FOX VERSION..... The never verified the video, they accepted it’s context because he suited their continuation of Obama Bashing, and now their "excuse" for running with the story is that the Whitehouse fired her first or wouldn’t have ran with a video that we never bother to verify... That’s EXCUSE???????
The bottom line is Morning Joe was the only Show on MSNBC to go with the Fox Version... and instead of saying they were snookered he choose to deflect the blame because his ego wouldn't allow him to criticize himself...
Fortunately the remaining MSNBC Programs won't have to spend the rest of their time deflecting blame, their time can now be spent reporting on how the Right Wing Media tried to railroad an innocent woman because the NAACP called them out on their racism...
Anything too Add has just added this:
Great diary ! Today Scarborough was in panic
mode because he is the only on MSNBC who ran this BS story w/o checking the source. He freaked out when Mark Whitaker said that he wouldn't have ran the s/l w/o checking the source, he slammed Mike Barnicle when Barnicle said that the Media were more to blame than the WH. He knows that his job is on the line because it's embarrassing MSNBC and NBC News
Scarborough with no shame called Shirley Sherrod names from Reverse Racist to NBPP sympathizer, he praised Fox News and Breitbart for covering the story while slamming the MSM for not following Fox Lead, he painted Mrs Sherrod as an angry black woman, and blamed the WH for "encouraging reverse racism" because they appointed her....
And today the asshole dares acting with an holier-than-thou attitude blaming the WH for the lazy job of the MSM
