In Long Segment Lauding Letterman, Morning Joe Never Mentions His Liberal Slant
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/04/2014 5:41:35 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Today's Morning Joe devoted a seemingly endless opening segment to the lavish lauding of David Letterman, who yesterday announced that he would be retiring sometime next year. Not once, but twice, Joe Scarborough actually equated Letterman's importance with that of the Beatles. Gag me with a walrus.

But not once in the 12-plus minute love letter to Letterman did anyone find time to mention the liberal slant that Letterman brought to the Late Show. Ironically, in the subsequent segment Scarborough lambasted Harry Reid for, among other things, lying in claiming that Mitt Romney over a period of ten years hadn't paid any taxes. Guess who else perpetrated the same lie, accusing Romney for good measure of being a "felon?" Yup, Letterman, as documented by our dear late NewsBusters colleague, Noel Sheppard.

Morning Joe manages to devote 12+ minutes to lauding Letterman without mentioning his liberalism. Ping to Today show list.

How about his going after Sarah’s 14 yr old daughter and harassing female employees for sex?
This POS’s retirement has been long over due....

David Letterman as few years ago transferred 4 acres to the Nature Conservancy in exchange for Oceanfront land on Nantucket.

The oceanfront land was more valuable and bigger.

I don’t watch TV, so I did not see this. But I have seen enough stories here on FR that tell me Mr. Morning Joe is a liberal.

What puzzles me is why Freepers watch this bilge. I suppose they feel it’s their duty to do so in order to find out what the enemy is up to. If not, why do they do it?

If the tables were turned, the press would start every article with:

“David Letterman, the *controversial* conservative late-night host...”

Letterman will be completely forgotten 5 minutes after he leaves the air.

Let’s see how the lefties wail if a non leftie like Drew Carey is brought in.
