Joe and Mika Gave Us the Middle Finger...It Backfired

Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network

To add insult to injury after their Mar-a-Lago trip, where they bent the knee to Trump, and then claimed on their show that “normal people” are proud of them for their actions, Joe and Mika started posting photos of themselves on social media today with captions like “A Beautiful Day in the Park ❤️.” They even disabled the ability for people to comment on their posts.

What are Mika and Joe thinking? Have they always been this out of touch and just tricked us all these years? Are they so terrified of Donald Trump that this is their response, as many have suggested? I don’t know, but this behavior is both insulting and really weird. It’s like they’re giving us all the middle finger and doubling down!

As hosts of a news program, respecting your audience must be your top priority. If you believe you are compromised as a reporter and it affects your coverage, you should step aside and resign. Joe and Mika seem to be gaslighting and disrespecting us all. I really enjoyed their show, so this is all just really upsetting.

I guess there is a silver lining to all of this.

On my list of "least trustworthy." Not to mention fickle and, at best, boring - but more often highly irritating. This is just a more vivid example of their true colors on display.

Trump's ass we are going to lose the only network that was not far right. The Republican's will have total control of main stream TV news.

They have no integrity, and ratings matter to them far more than principles. It's good that they miscalculated and have suffered with some bad ratings - for now.
I found their show boring. What do you learn by having someone echo your views back to you with no insight?
