The media has proven to be such weaklings, allowing Trump to bulldoze over them in order to maintain access. That is the concern here. On the flip side, Mika and Joe know that if they allow Trump to get away with his demented bullshit that they will lose all their credibility, which they don't have a lot of to begin with.

Thank you for thinking I have good judgement. Not everyone would agree. 🧐
