First, Why Is This Important -- Before Linking The Article. Well, If They (the MSM) Will Set Up Questions OR How The Segment Will Be Structured For Trump, Will They Do The Same For Clinton? Especially, If The Network "Reporter" is Chris Matthews or Andrea Mitchell with Johnatan Capehart.
What About If The Bosses That Be At The MSM Network Specifically Write Out The Questions Producers Give To The Host(s) To Ask. Is That Out Of the Possibly Considering What's Linked Below. No...It's Not.
Either One Play The Game Or Lose Their JOB. Is The MSM Choosing The Candidates For President Instead Of Presenting The Information Fair And Balanced For We (the American People) Can Choose A Candidate For President?
By This Leaked Audio - It Appears The Latter and Joe and Mika are NOT the only ones playing this disgusting game in the MSM world.
Throughout the six minutes or so, Trump and the MSNBC hosts chat amiably about a variety of topics, including politics, the primaries, golf, Morning Joes coverage of Trumps campaign, and their fellow journalists. On at least one occasion, the duo appear to discuss questions for the next segment within earshot of Trump. At times it can be difficult to determine who is speaking to who; Brzezinski and Scarborough appear at several points to be speaking to producers who were not picked up by the mics at the same time they were speaking to Trump.
You know what I thought was kind of a wow moment, was the guy you brought up on stage, Brzezinski began by telling Trump.
We played it several times this morning, Scarborough put in.
I watched your show this morning, Trump responded. You have me almost as a legendary figure, I like that.
After that, Brzezinski thanked Trump for agreeing to the interview. You, you get great ratings and a raise, he told her. Me, I get nothing.
This will make us all look good, Trump said, to which Scarborough replied, Exactly.
Scarborough and Trump then chatted about their thoughts on his most recent debate performance. The next morning when I saw the CBS poll, I knew that the people who mattered didnt think you lost it, Scarborough said. I mean, you came in a strong second. And Ill tell you what was the most revealing thing was [Jeb Bush] came in last, the guy you attacked.
Brzezinski then tried to ask Scarborough about a question she planned to ask Trump, trying to be discreet but eventually giving away the subject. Do you not want me to do, the um, the ones with, um, deportation?
We really do have to go to some questions, Scarborough responded.
Thats right, Trump agreed, before joking, Nothing too hard, Mika.
Okay, Brzezinski can be heard telling someone. In the end, there were no questions about immigration or deportations during the town hall.

(29,191 posts)with "Morning Joe" being the one exception (I never watched it).
but...in the last month or so... I don't even tune in to watch Rachel or Lawrence. The TV is either off or watching something on Netflix (and Better Call Saul... and GOT when it comes back).
MSNBC has been going downhill for some time now... like years.
I think I would prefer it if they went 24 hours a day of "hard news" and "human interest" (lost puppies rescued) and just ignored politics.
