In reply to the discussion: Mika Brzezinski’s erotic dance (from Salon.com) [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)122. Neither Mika nor Joe are journalists--that's what people aren't getting, here.
They are entertainers who discuss politics on their chat show. They have opinions, and they express them. You don't hear Diane Sawyer or Scott Pelley saying the sort of shit those two say on a regular basis.
The show sucks. The picture is ghastly. But "Morning Joe" is not a news program, even though they do impart current events and chat about them. "The View" imparts current events and the co-hosts chat about them, too, but I don't know a soul who would call Whoopie Goldberg or Joy Behar journalists or "The View" a news show--about the only one who ever held that role (and who does not, anymore) on that program is Barbara Walters.

That "show" is right out of Mad Man. He is Don Draper and she his devoted secretary.

I'm not a big fan of Mika regarding her commentary...but I find her to be incredibly gorgeous!

Barbara Walters used to give us the nightly news, too--but that's not what she does on THE VIEW.

Zbiggy's daughter is NOT a journalist. Comparing her to Diane Sawyer is NOT appropriate.

Hard to take her seriously, now. This morning she was wearing a porno-type dress....

I keep picturing Andrea Mitchell in that pose--not the same erotic effect--at all!

Journalists do not "opine" in the course of delivering the news of the evening (or the morning).

How long do you think it took ALL of them to adjust her "dress" so it would cover her panties

Not really as pornographic as Republicans running a guy with hidden Swiss bank accounts

The only people calling her names & diminishing her worth are the ones "outraged" by the picture.

Certainly. But I think it's reprehensible to call a woman names or diminish her worth
