Mika Censors Kathy Griffin News: “We’re not Talking about It. Too Gross. Not Worth Doing”
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/31/2017 7:05:33 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

If, say, Greg Gutfield had held up a realistic-looking severed head of the previous president, do you think Morning Joe would have refused to cover the story? But on today’s Morning Joe, when a panelist made reference to “the Kathy Griffin news,” Mika Brzezinski put her foot down:

“We’re not talking about it. I’m sorry, it’s too gross. It’s just not worth doing.”

I don't have cable, so I occasionally look at the news websites to take their 'pulse'.

CNN - a lot of attention to a typo in Trump tweet...and downscreen, the offending photo, with the offensive part removed:

MSNBC - also giving tweet typo top billing, then Russia nonsense, and no visible story about the beheading

Nothing on ABC, CBS is using the same sanitized photo as CNN

Fox - the story is there, but no photo.

I wonder what would happen with these news outlets if the severed head resembled Barry Obama.

Of course! They got what they wanted global exposure! They also triggered a lot of death threats against our president and his family by the loony left! Right now where it stands I despise no loathe the mediapukes! I keep thinking what fresh Hell will be unleashed today! Honestly I’m just tired of being the silent majority! Can’t even escape these freaking mediawhores they are everywhere you go the doctors office the airport hotels they’re all running with the saying clown news network and their ant trump BULLCHIT! Rush told his audience to flip off the news outlets.. unless you live in a cocoon there is no freaking way you can avoid them..with technology as it is today it’s difficult!! You can’t just turn off the world and hiding in your little corner it ain’t gonna happen....you’ll hear about one way or the other!!

Only response in remarks was kinda comical

Here it is:

"I hope Joe doesn’t hear this from her on their wedding night."
Indeed! That comment made me smile.

Remember how much trouble Conservatives got in for using cross hairs to specify a target location for an election?
Double standards are reaching outrageous proportions - not that I don’t support Kathy Griffin’s right to make a (more) complete fool of herself this way.

Most definitely! Here is is:

“We’re not talking about it. I’m sorry, it’s too gross. It’s just not worth doing.”

I hope Joe doesn’t hear this from her on their wedding night.

Of course not.
But if it were someone holding up a fake severed head of Obama she’d want to talk about it all day long .... for months on end.

It’s a new show since the engagement. It’s MIKA IN THE MORNING. Joe has been neutered.

Since Mika and Joe have are going to be married, Mika has taken over the show and is going full left. It seems Joe does not have any more say. Serves him right. Mika has Joe’s testicular fortitude in a jar and he is forever gelded. Could not happen to a better guy!!!

Not one peep of it on Reddit. Total liberal blackout.

The most revealing picture into the very heart of a liberal and they don’t like that their darkness has been fully exposed.

Your list omits the feature movie about the assassination of George Bush.

Malcolm Nance is still a regular guest expert on every episode of MSNBC’s Joy Reid show even after this:

Will MSNBC Fire Malcolm Nance for His Call for ISIS to Bomb Trump Building? (Kristinn Taylor Apr 19th, 2017)

They don't care if their 'national security expert' and self described patriot calls for terrorist attacks on a US citizen's (and POTUS's) property.

Liberals always have multiple sets of rules for others and no rules for themselves.

Mika squelches whatever makes the left look bad.
She is smart enough to know this was way over the line.
