In this week’s Liberal Media Scream we double up to show President Trump on 60 Minutes decrying the “dishonest” media and Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski helping the president’s case by ripping him as a “big baby."
We combined two segments for this video. First is the reaction on Monday’s Morning Joe on MSNBC to Trump’s 60 Minutes interview from the night before, with Brzezinski deriding him as a “big baby...unfit to lead this country.”
Second, from the CBS interview, is Trump expressing how “I never knew how dishonest the media was and I really mean it. I’m not saying that as a soundbite. I never knew how dishonest.” At that point interviewer Lesley Stahl cut him off: “I’m going to change the subject again.”
After some back and forth about the media’s bias, Trump soon zinged her: “In the meantime, I’m president and you’re not.”
From the top of the October 15 Morning Joe:
JOE SCARBOROUGH: What did you think about the president last night?
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Seems like a baby. Big baby. And really, really ill-equipped and unfit to lead this country.
SCARBOROUGH: More than one or two references about the emperor not having any clothes, John Heilemann, parading around.
BRZEZINSKI: But he doesn’t realize it.
JOHN HEILEMANN: Like a naked baby. A clothed-free baby. That’s how babies are, they generally don’t have much in the way of clothing.
Media Research Center Vice President of Research Brent Baker explains our weekly pick: “Joe and Mika could not have done a better job proving President Trump’s point about a ‘dishonest media’ as they went straight to denigrating him with insults. Meanwhile, Trump himself showed what so endears him to his supporters as he put a journalist in her place, giving as good as he got from a hostile interviewer.”
Rating: Five out of five screams.
