MSNBC Host Can’t Believe Who Hillary Asked To Moderate Next Debate

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

[Califonz]

1. Even the biased media can't believe it!

They're like, come on Hillary, at least make it LOOK like the cards aren't stacked against Sanders.

[Baobab]

21. She's BAD

this is just shameless....

-------

George Stephanopoulos:
“You and Bernie Sanders going to debate in New York?”

Hillary Clinton:
“I’m hoping to. You know we offered dates which they refused. You offered, GMA offered a debate during GMA on Friday the 15th. I’ll be there.”

On a Monday episode of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, co-host Mika Brzezinski denounced Hillary Clinton’s decision to have George Stephanopoulos moderate the upcoming debate.

Mika Brzezinski:
“Wait a minute. She wants to do a debate with George Stephanopoulos as the moderator?”

Willie Geist:
“That was one of the proposed ideas.”

Kristen Welker:
“One of the proposed ideas. And I know that…”

Mika Brzezinski:
“Didn’t he work for her?”

Kristen Welker:
“Yes. And there was some speculation this weekend is that one of the reasons why the Sanders’ campaign is absolutely not…”

Mika Brzezinski:
“Didn’t he donate to the Clinton Foundation?”

Kristen Welker:
“Yes, he did. You are absolutely right.”

Mika Brzezinski:
“OK. I’m just curious. Are you kidding me.”

Kristen Welker:
“No, I’m absolutely serious.”

This information was exposed in part by author Peter Schweizer, who wrote a booked titled “Clinton Cash.”

The $75,000 donation was exposed in part by author Peter Schweizer, who wrote a booked titled “Clinton Cash.” Mr. Stephanopoulos stated: ”I made charitable donations to the Foundation in support of the work they’re doing on global AIDS prevention and deforestation, causes I care about it deeply.”

Mika Brzezinski:
“It appears the Clinton campaign wants to do either a debate that no one will see or a debate with a moderator that might not be completely fair towards Bernie Sanders.”

“Am I overstating the concern about trying to choose a moderator on GMA by the Clinton campaign that actually worked for the Clintons?”

[pacalo]

31. "I made a charitable ($75k) donation to the 'foundation'..."

Stephanopoulas cares deeply.

The media are tripping over themselves to be yes-tools for the Clintons since the "foundation" came into existence. Quite a change from the media's 24/7 negative reporting in the '90s.

[global1]

2. Is Mika Feeling The Bern?....nt

[Land of Enchantment]

62. Yes, she has been outspoken about lack of

debates and does not like DWS...

[blue neen]

3. "The next Democrat debate"?

You lost me right there.

[JudyM]

4. yep.

[blue neen]

5. Nice source, huh? A blog for libertarians.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

8. Wait...

So is MSNBC Morning Joe lying?

The youtube video mostly just replays the Morning Joe segment and fills in with some background info. about the proposed moderators donation to the Clinton Foundation...

Do you think it would be okay for a former employee of Clinton to be a moderator in a debate? How could he be impartial?

[blue neen]

11. Wait...

Why are you posting videos from an avowed Conservative and Libertarian blog?

The YouTube Channel? Don't make me laugh.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

15. Your point?

Was anything in the video a lie?

Does MSNBC Morning Joe become a libertarian show if a channel on youtube rehosts it?

[blue neen]

17. Your "YouTube" video came straight from the Western Journalism website:

http://www.westernjournalism.com/watch-msnbc-host-turns-on-hillary-when-she-makes-shocking-discovery-are-you-kidding-me/

Lies? Interesting term there.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

19. You still haven't answered the question...

Does that change anything about the clip of Morning Joe on MSNBC?

[blue neen]

22. You haven't answered the question as to why you are using avowed exreme right wing sources.

It's okay, though.

Now we know.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

23. You still have failed to explain how Morning Joe on MSNBC is an extreme right wing source...

[blue neen]

26. HAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!

Now, you're just getting funny.

[demwing]

33. You're deflecting

it looks a little pathetic

[blue neen]

35. Here's what is pathetic:

The founder of the Western Journalism blog, the source of this video is Joseph Farah, a man who owns this quote:

"Farah is among those who have promulgated conspiracy theories questioning Barack Obama's status as a natural born citizen of the United States and resultant eligibility to serve as U.S. President,[12][13] stating, "It'll plague Obama throughout his presidency."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Farah

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

37. Okay? And If I went and found the exact same clip from MSNBC on another channel...

Nothing will have changed... All this channel did was add context to Mika's quote about George donating to the Clinton Foundation.

[blue neen]

39. And added that cute little right wing term "next Democrat debate".

Uh huh. Context.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

41. Huh?

That is a right wing term?

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

48. And to put a nail in the coffin as I am done talking in circles about this...

https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/4deixf/msnbc_host_cant_believe_who_hillary_asked_to/

That is where I saw it and shared it from... And nothing in the video appears to be right winger spin or lies... so think what you want, but I don't care. good night.

[cui bono]

67. No, pathetic is your attempt at deflection.

It's a video from MSNBC. Doesn't matter where it was posted if it is not edited. Has it been edited? I doubt it.

She wants a biased moderator or to schedule the debates when they won't be seen my many people. She's afraid of Bernie. Deal with it.

.

[revbones]

29. They have no way to rebute it other than to try to discredit the source

even though their criticism is on a source that's just showing videos from MSNBC.

Pretty juvenile and ridiculous.

[blue neen]

38. Well, I'm really not okay with using sources who say global warming is a hoax.

"Al Gore is producing enough hot air to make his doomsday predictions about global warming a self-fulfilling prophecy."

That's another gem from Joseph Farah.

[revbones]

46. MSNBC said that? Didn't think so.

Spin it however you want, the video in question was just clips of MSNBC.

[OilemFirchen]

63. Do you know who Joe Scarborough is?

Should you ask someone at the pub?

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

64. Onto my ignore you go nt

[OilemFirchen]

65. Woohoo!

Got me a brand new fondue pot for that one!

[Marr]

47. People can always find an excuse to dismiss inconvenient facts. /nt

[dogman]

9. I don't care for the source, but does that change the facts?

I can't watch Mourning Jo but GS was a Clinton loyalist wasn't he?

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

20. Yep, he worked for Clinton, and donated to her Foundation...

The video is mostly MSNBC discussing it and Mika being dumbfounded that Clinton even suggested him.

[Sanity Claws]

58. I cringed when I heard that

[jillan]

6. Just more typical Hillary bs.

[blue neen]

7. More like more Libertarian bs.

[Gore1FL]

25. The original source is MSNBC. nt

[snowy owl]

34. So MSNBC was source for ABC clip? Really?

[Gore1FL]

50. Morning Joe is on ABC now?

I didn't know.

[840high]

51. You don't like the source. We

get it. Now tell me did the video lie?

[jberryhill]

10. Is there some way to find out who without watching a video?

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

12. George Stephenopoulos

[Uncle Joe]

13. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, GeorgiaPeanuts.

[Jitter65]

14. lies.lies, and more lies. It's Wolf nt

[JackRiddler]

18. Ugh.

Stephanopoulos even if he was Clinton's campaign director is such a tolerable human being by comparison to Blitzer.

[1StrongBlackMan]

16. Actually, it's a pretty smart G/E move.

[dogman]

28. Like Trump with Hannity tonight?

Don't you think that beyond the fan base nobody's listening?

[1StrongBlackMan]

45. Wolf's audience isn't HRC's.

[dogman]

49. I guess you missed the OP.

I thought you knew the OP is about the push for Stephanopoulos.

[1StrongBlackMan]

57. Oops....I rare watch videos; but, had read that HRC had requested wolf.

[dogman]

59. np, Sometimes it happens.

[rbrnmw]

24. ....

[blue neen]

30. Indeed!

Now, there's a YouTube video!

[Agschmid]

27. ...

[onehandle]

32. Will lee t-ball...

Kids like Lee love t-ball!

[rbrnmw]

36. I heard they play that same game at the Pub

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

40. I'm not sure what you are saying following me around...

With these comments about pubs and taverns...

Please enlighten me... I've tried to lookup what it means through search and nothing comes up... I'm sure it is something derogatory or insulting.

[rbrnmw]

44. it's an inside joke

[SoLeftIAmRight]

52. these 2 are hopeless

be well

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

54. True...

Though I'm assuming they are calling me a rePUBlican... That is the only thing that makes sense... Pretty sad to call out new progressives into the fold as republicans...


Republicans don't invest in progressives (and this doesn't even include MoveOn.org donations)

[OilemFirchen]

66. GMTA.

Here's Boysenberry Sour Mash IPA in your eye!

[snooper2]

42. Georgia Peanuts are GMO free right?

[snowy owl]

43. Joe said little - hope Mika hasn't burned her bridges on pro-Clinton venue

[chillfactor]

53. just where in the world did you pick up that piece of garbage?

good lord.....what a crock of shit!

[MFM008]

55. Some people wouldnt be happy

unless Sanders WIFE moderated the debate, that's why I would not have agreed to any more debates.

[ViseGrip]

56. I thought the other station wouldn't allow him to moderate, because he's a donor to the foundation.

[nichomachus]

60. Were Bill and Chelsea not available? nt

[GreenPartyVoter]

61. Thread winner!
