The Sound of Fear on Air
It is an ominous sign that "Morning Joe" felt it had to apologize for something I said.

It is an ominous sign that Morning Joe felt it had to apologize for something I said.By David Frum

This morning, I had an unsettling experience.
I was invited onto MSNBC’s Morning Joe to talk from a studio in Washington, D.C., about an article I’d written on Trump’s approach to foreign policy. Before getting to the article, I was asked about the nomination of Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense—specifically about an NBC News report that his heavy drinking worried colleagues at Fox News and at the veterans organizations he’d headed. (A spokesman for the Trump transition told NBC, “These disgusting allegations are completely unfounded and false, and anyone peddling these defamatory lies to score political cheap shots is sickening.”)
I answered by reminding viewers of some history:
I told this story in pungent terms. It’s cable TV, after all. And I introduced the discussion with a joke: “If you’re too drunk for Fox News, you’re very, very drunk indeed.”
At the next ad break, a producer spoke into my ear. He objected to my comments about Fox and warned me not to repeat them. I said something noncommittal and got another round of warning. After the break, I was asked a follow-up question on a different topic, about President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son. I did not revert to the earlier discussion, not because I had been warned, but because I had said my piece. I was then told that I was excused from the studio chair. Shortly afterward, co-host Mika Brzezinski read an apology for my remarks.
She’s right, of course: There are good people at Fox News. But if NBC’s reporting—based on interviews with 10 current or former Fox employees—about Hegseth’s alcohol abuse is accurate, many of those same good people have failed to report publicly that their former colleague, appointed to lead the armed forces of the United States, was notorious in their own building for his drinking. That would be a startling and shameful shirking of responsibility on a matter of grave national importance. What’s the appropriate language to call it out?
Basically morning joe and mika are pussies and more worried about their jobs over journalistic integrity. They are both multi millionaires and still bend over for the cheeto Mussolini.
there are more international news outlets than US outlets that are reporting this. It is almost like this is normal for america.This can't be real!
EDIT: Just looked it up. It is real.
That's the crazy part!
It’s real even the state of Oklahoma told that dude no we’re not going that far. This is not going to be a good four years. A lot of people is going to get hurt and die.This can't be real!
EDIT: Just looked it up. It is real.
Unless Trump's DoJ goes rogue, we definitely won't be seeing anything like this for at least the next four years.
I'm so glad that I never started following these assholes.
Democrats win final US House race, eroding Republican control of chamber
The narrow majority leaves Republicans with even less margin for error as they try to enact President-elect Trump’s agenda.

They basically want to do away with Social Security so they could give all that money back to the billionaires. I tell you shit is about to go crazy in this country. A lot of old white people live off of Social Security so let’s see how this goes.
