Poll-Panicky Mika Fights With Producer To Lead With 'Binder-Gate'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/18/2012 9:35:18 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Has the latest Gallup poll, showing Mitt Romney with a six-point national lead, panicked the Obama campaign and its MSM cohorts like Mika Brzezinski? Morning Joe's producer apparently wanted to lead today's show with a discussion of the latest bummer-for-Obama polls. But Brzezinski admitted to "fighting" with her producer, insisting instead on opening with a discussion of the "binder-gate" issue that President Obama was pushing out on the campaign trail yesterday.

Joe Scarborough laughed off Mika's binder obsession as "ridiculous," saying continued Dem focus on it would lead to a Romney landslide. Even Mark Halperin, whom no one would accuse of being in the Romney reservoir, dismissed the matter as trivial compared to the real issues in this campaign of the economy and jobs.

More proof, as if any were needed, that you don’t have to be a genius to work at MSNBC.

And that MSNBC is DNC Central.

Mika is living proof that all left wing talking heads have to attend some hidden “Smug School.” I think is is SSS College. Snarky, snide and smug.

Intelligent people see that the MSM is beating-a-dead-horse on this non-issue.

Binder-Gate....what a joke.

More and more people will quit watching these departments of the DNC.
The MSM no longer pretend that they're not campaigning for Obama and other Democrats.

BTW, Joe Scarborough is still a low-life POS!

Unless this is all coordinated to tie into whatever Gloria Allred is about to drop. Then Mika will look like a frikkin genius.

Islamists are saying “We are all Osama Bin Laden” and belligerently attacking the US while the Middle East is aflame with the Islamist takeovers..... and the media wants to focus on their own sexualization of Romney’s use of the word “binder”?

If it wasn’t such a dangerous situation, this would be laughable. When are the people in positions of power ever going to get real about actually protecting this country?

Maybe I’m just stupid but I still don’t understand what was wrong, funny or controversial in what he said. Is it because he said “women” instead of “women’s bios” or “women’s names”? Is there something funny about the word “binder?” Is it because someone used a binder instead of a computer file?
