    MSNBC's Joe Scarborough ripped for falsely claiming 'no doctors' were at White House presser, urges networks to cut away
    By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News

    MSNBC host Joe Scarborough was slammed on social media for falsely claiming that "no doctors" were present at Monday's White House press briefing on the coronavirus outbreak.

    Scarborough was among many media personalities on Twitter who quickly noticed that Dr. Anthony Fauci, a prominent figure in the White House's coronavirus task force, was missing from the briefing. The liberal TV personality quickly concluded that the briefing wasn't necessary.

    "There is no public benefit to this briefing. The networks should all cut away," Scarborough tweeted. "Bland pronouncements, the repeating of catch phrases daily, bad medical advice. No science, no doctors, no Fauci. Just Trump’s Roy Cohn."

    While he suggested the presence of Attorney General William Barr by referring to him as "Trump's Roy Cohn," the "Morning Joe" co-host apparently overlooked Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House response coordinator who also spoke at the presser.

    This is how the media pushes fake news. No one that did not do any research, or follow the resulting outrage, might believe what Joe Scarborough said was true.

    For those that did not understand his idiotic calling of William Barr, Roy Cohn, hijinks; Roy Cohan was Senator McCarthy's chief Prosecutor for the McCarthy's Communist witch-hunt.

    If he was wrong, Scarborough will apologize.

    People who have honour and who deserve the public trust apologize when they are wrong.

    Don't you agree with me?

    You'll get through it.

    As Trumpsters, you admire a man who's never apologized in his life.

    It’s rather sad that dems defend their lies and behavior by saying it’s ok because the person the lie about lies too.
    The fact is, the left is doing a great disservice to the nation by lying about. A pandemic and spreading fearmongering

    Following such logic, if Donald Trump loses the bid for reelection, the news media is free to tear his replacement apart for not only everything they might do, but also everything they did not do. Twenty-four house news coverage of every word misspoken, of every microaggression no matter how small or insignificant.

    Democrats are getting in the habit of overlooking women. I guess their true colors are gleaming more and more. They acted like Tulsi Gabbard didn't even exist when she was still in the race.

    The Democrats aren't lying about a pandemic and aren't fear mongering. Neither are the Republicans. The idiot Democrats are trying to attach things to the stimulus bill that don't belong there, but they aren't lying and they aren't fearmongering.

    The president on the other hand, who spent months telling his followers that the concern was a "hoax", is. The same president who thinks he can reopen the country in a few days or weeks and literally destroy any progress we've made with social distancing.

    And you damage your credibility every time you point out lying politicians while giving Trump a pass. You say it's a bad thing that Democrats lie about the man who lies but you never ever seem to have a problem with that man when he does it. You're picking and choosing just as the Democrats are making you no better and definitely without a leg to stand on when you accuse them. It's a pattern repeated endlessly by Trump supporters across the country.

    Then you agree that Sean Hannity has honor and deserves public trust?

    They know it. That's their goal. Crash the economy and claim they can save it IF the people elect them. Then they crap on us for 3 years, make one good move during the next election year, and crap on us even more for their last term.

    He never said the concern was a hoax. He said the way the democrats are claiming that he was playing the virus off was a hoax.

    Yes, it would seem that you would take that position.

    Meh. Scarborough lies about no doctor at Trump's daily update. We all know why he focuses on Trump, even to the point of lying. Scarborough is panicked about November 2020.

    There was definitely no doctor at Biden's (first) daily update yesterday, and that is no lie. First time Biden has showed his face in over a week to propose his own solutions for the virus crisis to the country. Didn't go well.

    The MSM is running the DNC campaign on behalf of Joe, because Biden sure isn't running a presidential campaign.

    Exactly, they were complaining there were no women in the race when Gabbard was still running.

    The problem was, Scarborough lied about no doctors there, which apparently you're OK with.

    Trump LIES 24/7. All Day/Every Day

    ^And, none of his supporters seem to care.

    So, why would anybody expect someone to care about Morning Joe?

    Puzzling.

    I'm sure you believe that. We're talking about Scarborough's fake news lie.

    That's true. Hardly anyone is watching that Joe, and the "other Joe" is missing in action.

    Trump supporters are listening to Trump's task force team, who have been incredibly informative and transparent. Everyone also knows that Trump is not a doctor himself, and that he is also not a polished diplomat. He speaks "off the cuff", and sometimes gets things wrong. We know that. That's why his supporters don't care. Trump has assembled a quality team to deal with the virus.

    Meanwhile the President is the only one who has people addressing the country every day. Where's Joe?

    THIS is what Democrats are mostly upset about. The DNC swayed Democrat voters' to "Vote for Joe," and so they did. Now you have a nominee who doesn't show up.
