Mika on Morning Joe: Pastor Coverage Has Been Balanced

[Jackson12303]

anybody who defends rev. wright is racist and ignorant.

[MrJSockolov]

what an asshole

[co211]

damn she's stupid.....

[fanaber70]

I am convinced you aren't so shrewd as she is even in 1/10th.

[alteredlame666]

Folks, I am telling you, I work with Mika, and she is retarded. This just happens to be an obvious lie: "Hagee [was] covered as much..."

What? Hey, asshole, I had to endure three and a half weeks while we ran this as the lead. So save the shit. Hagee was covered (virtually in comparison) for maybe a week. And not with the expressed outrage that Wright endured.

If you can't be intellectually honest, at the very least, then get a new job, Mika.

[BKDevious]

Rev Mike Hagee hasn't been flamed much but apparently Revs Pfleger and Wright has.

This is a travesty indeed, but don't flame Brzezinski. She's just doing her job, which is to carry the truth to us viewers and voters alike, unlike some journalists.

[dogstar7]

Mika said that Rev. Wright "injected himself into the news cyle".

Not so: Rev. Wright responded to weeks and weeks of reaction to a video clip from years ago that was dug up and released to embarrass Obama.

Rev. Wright was sought out by Bill Moyers, the NAACP and the Press Club to respond.

Trinity Church has been vilified and slandered in the press as being "revolutionary", "black separatist" and "cult-like".

Where does Hillary and McCain worship, indeed?

[wiggus13]

the issue is not about what church obama attends.

the issue is that rev. wright was promoting obama's politics from the pulpit -which is misusing the church's non-profit status. obama has used the church for political gain and opened the doors for questioning.

it would have made very good sense for obama and his church to have left the political message out of a "house of god."

the church should have their non-profit status removed!

[driubi]

all churches should

[browneyzblue]

wiggus, yes, correct, and did you know that Obama, through the Woods Foundations, gave funds to three churches (Rev Wright included) .... yeah ....

nobody wants to smell a rat when it's in their own political party ...

but this isn't just smelling a rat, it's hearing the rat, and seeing the rat, and no I am not calling anyone a rat, I am calling the situation a rat, and there is no lipstick either,

it's plain to see.

The USA has pledged 96 trillion dollars to SS and medicare - that equates to one million dollars from every single adult in America!

The Federal Reserve bank is privately owned by foreign investors - And is allowed to print our money. We actually pay these people for printing our money out of thin air - PLUS INTEREST

Also, all banks are allowed to loan as much money as they want out of thin air, (yet Bear Stearns and Chase Bank go belly-up)

[clarkslick]

American news now is at least 50% entertainment. (Fox is more like 90%). Takes so much time and effort now investigating many different sources to approach anything near the truth. Unfortunately most people in America are too busy or lazy to do that.

[bestservice1983]

The e-mailer was correct and Mika is conpletely wrong.Hagee didn't get that much coverage and we still don't know who John McCain or Hillary's pastors are.The Wright mess was covered non-stop on tv for weeks.How is that balanced???

[mayaluvsmusic]

No, the reporting hasn't been balanced.

[johnbbong]

id go easy on mika. if you've watched morning joe for a while you would know she's a strong defender of obama on a show where its not always easy to do so.

[drugante]

i agree with you to a extent...the media was covering jeremiah wright more times than hagee and the other wing nuts evangelicals that support mccain..the only person i am aware that was trying to cover hagee and the other wing nuts was olbermann

[PussycatGoGo]

She's a journalist. Go easy on asking a journalist to admit the truth? to be balanced and not make up things to make life easier for her to work with an conservative? No one is asking her to make an Obama girl youtube video. What's so wrong with expecting and demanding these journalists to be balanced regardless of who they do or don't support?

[johnbbong]

you obviously don't watch this show often. i give her a lot of respect for putting up with scarborough's crap. she's assertive and graceful. i don't really agree with what she said here, but unlike you I've seen the show many times and I know she's not a poor journalist. So yes I will go easy on this. This story's gotten blown a little out of proportion on the blogosphere. Did you know her dad is Zbigniew Brzezinski. Pretty cool I think. I like em both.
