Maybe it is really just a simple case of unintended consequences. Back when Trump was running, who really took him seriously? He was a joke, calling into the show from his gold toilet. I believe the media fell into "group think" that Trump could never win so put him on, juice the ratings, take the cash, and prepare for 4 years of Hillary. When it all went south the media was left with the horror of Trump, like half of America. Maybe Joe has just come to terms with the Frankenstein he helped create, and is trying to make amends in his own way by coming out strongly against Trump.
