Staff ReportsIn the ever-entertaining world of media commentary, there’s nothing like revisiting the antics of certain television hosts, especially those like Joe Scarborough. Recently, discussions have swirled around the feigned surprise of some media figures when they “realized” that President Biden might not be the sharpest tool in the shed anymore. Talk about a revelation that came a bit late to the party. One has to wonder if the media was genuinely fooled or if there was a collective nod to ignore what was happening right in front of their faces.
Discussing Morning Joe’s enthusiastic support of Biden and subsequent disillusionment is like unraveling a comedy you never knew was supposed to be funny. The segment dives into the tale of Scarborough, once fervent in his defense of Biden’s capabilities, now admitting that maybe he was wrong. Well, it’s a little late for that lightbulb moment! People have long noticed the President’s public stumbles, yet it seems our dear friend Joe preferred rose-colored glasses over a clear view of the situation. As the saying goes, better late than never, right?
No one loves self-deprecation more than a media personality who thinks they are cunning enough to pull the wool over the public’s eyes. It’s a classic case of realizing you’ve booked a first-class ticket on the wrong bandwagon. If only Scarborough had owned up to his partisanship from the start, viewers might have just considered him another biased voice rather than a misled prophet. But hey, in the land of soundbites and ratings, there’s always a new angle to exploit.
Meanwhile, over on the conservative side of things, Trump’s supporters gleefully point out their candor. They openly acknowledge their partisan leanings, never trying to disguise their favorable views of Trump behind a mask of deceit. They find it refreshing—not to mention satisfying—to admit when their guy might’ve been a bit off his rocker. No one’s trying to polish the tarnished, but at least they aren’t serving up cold leftovers as a fresh meal. It’s a level of honesty that seems lost on some.
In the end, the whole fiasco is both laughable and tragic. Will viewers return to trust the same voices who once led them astray? The media has an obligation to the truth, after all. And yet, as ratings dive and the audience looks elsewhere, maybe it’s high time for all these “duped” anchors to step aside. What good is a shepherd who doesn’t mind leading sheep astray, whispering sweet nothings to the voting booth? At least from a conservative standpoint, such folly just adds to the steady rhythm of evening entertainment.
