This must have been one of the proudest moments in the brief, dark history of MSNBC. The network’s morning co-host revealed on the air that she has a direct line to the White House, making it far easier for the network to get quotes from the Ministry of Propaganda.
Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, were talking to retired GE CEO Jack Welch, who offered some harsh criticism of the Obama administration’s handling of the Gusher in the Gulf.
After reading directly from her notes, Mika finally admitted that she was reading from the talking points that had been provided to her by the White House.
“Do you want to know why I have a file that I’ve been working on with the White House—and I’ll be very transparent about that?” Mike said. “Because of your friend Rudy Giuliani who came here last week spewing out a whole bunch of nothing.”
“Spewing a whole bunch of nothing.” Those White House talking points seem to be getting dumbed down a bit too far these days.

In other words: "I have no integrity nor do I pretend to be unbiased because I am a liberal conservative-hating person who wants to prove them wrong and will go to my lord and savior Obama's lackeys for talking points that will help me make my points more effectively."
YET if let's say... Beck or Hannity or whoever at Fox were to do the same for let's say Bush the horror and the calls of hypocrisy from the left would be unrelenting.
MSNBC remains the "thinking-free zone" of media.
whenever the dem accuse the gop of something, the dem are guilty of it so they assume gop must be doing it as well
Mika accused Rudy Giuliani of "spewing out a whole bunch of nothing". MSNBC does have the experts on nothing. Like nothing for ratings or credibility.
They should change the name of the network to MSNBO.
Remember the huge media firestorm regarding false accusations that Bill O'Reilly and other Fox New reporters were using talking points from the Bush White House? This is pathetic, and Mika Brzezinski should be ashamed of herself.
She is not smart enough to understand shame.
The stunning part of the admission was just how casually she said it....
The stunning part was the fact that she attempted (failed) to minimize her lack of integrity by stating that she is being TRANSPARENT (same word Obama used mind you). She wants people to believe that she is not really lacking in integrity because she is being truthful about her biased behavior. It is liberal mentality and insanity all over the place.
Exactly right. They don't even bother with attempting to hide anything they do or say anymore. Everything is done right out in the open, & the sad thing is that does'nt matter to some people. As Beck says, the facts don't matter anymore to some folks.
