Joe Scarborough: Media’s Biased Kavanaugh Coverage Helps Trump Divide the Country
Mediaite ^ | October 3,2018 | Colby Hall

Posted on 10/03/2018 11:36:10 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Joe Scarborough may have publicly left the Republican party, but he still very often takes the same conservative approach to the news of the day.

This was on full display this morning has he slammed what he sees as biased media coverage of embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, whose confirmation is in question after numerous sexual misconduct allegations from over three decades ago have come to light.

“The media coverage of this has been so one-sided, it has been so biased,” Scarborough claimed, adding the media’s “presumption from the beginning has been that every single allegation made against the judge was true.”

Scarborough then likened what we are seeing with the Kavanaugh confirmation coverage with the general election of 2016. “This is what happened in the run-up to the Trump election. Not even considered the possibility that Donald Trump might win. So they were shocked by it.”

In the eyes of the Morning Joe co-host, the blame for our divided nation falls just not at the feet of the sitting Commander in Chief. That blame is shared by the media.

Scarborough: “Donald Trump divides every day, in a way that is unbecoming of a president, but also because the media has given Donald Trump a massive opening because they have been so one-sided on this story that it allows him to light dynamite and blow the whole thing up”

If the media is complicit in Trump “dividing the country”, that means the media’s behavior shows that Trump was RIGHT ABOUT WHO THE MEDIA IS AND HOW THEY OPERATE.

Is there a way to get Joe & Mika off the air? Or get them to sit down and shut up? Maybe a right wing billionaire could buy MSNBC and change it to a nostalgia comedy network, or an online shopping one. Anything.

I already tried using my TV remote to turn them off permanently but then someone keeps quoting them again so they must still be blabbing.

Look who’s talking. A guy with his ugly GF that do nothing but try to divide the country constantly.

If I ever met Joe I’d have a real tough time not slugging him.

Obama divided the country...The Lame Stream Media and political elite are just pushing it further apart as hard as they can....

Trump is giving EVERYONE reasons to unite...Jobs, economy, sovereignty...

The country is divided.

It is divided between those who love America, love freedom and wish both to succeed in the world, and those who hate America, hate themselves, and are obsessed with their own genitals,

That is reality.

Helps Trump div...

Screw that narrative.

The Democrats and the media have been dividing the nation for decades. Under Obama it became a full blown rush to a race war.

Now they think Trump is dividing the nation. He couldn’t hold a candle to them!

What Charles Manson couldn’t pull off, Obama almost did.

A race war...

And the media just swooned.

Now they charge Trump with dividing the nation.

Their ability to make stuff up and ignore truth is nearly unfathomable.

Soros has made a lot of money in country after country with the same recipe of demoralization, deliberate disingenuousness and other tools of chaos because chaos yields opportunity. Squeezing the last dollar out of the US by these typically duplicitous schemes would be his final crowning glory. His perfidy he smiles over as he calls it his “Open Society” when his goal is “Broken Society”. If anyone needs an FBI colonoscopy it is SOros. Pray he gets one soon.

Yes, Joe, if by " divide the country" you mean "rally patriots."

The media and the dems are diving the country (divide and conquer), not Trump.
