“I watched your show this morning,” Trump told Joe & #Mika during a 2/2016 ad break. "You have me almost as a legendary figure, I like that.” #HotMic catches Mika describe a "wow moment" at a Trump rally; Joe says they played it "several times." #Soledad
#HotMic 2016: Trump to Joe & Mika the interview "will make us all look good." Joe: “Exactly." Joe: “We really do have to go to some questions"; Mika: "the um, the ones with, um, deportation?” Trump: “Nothing too hard, Mika.” There were no Qs about deportation. #Soledad
#HotMic 2016 catches @MorningJoe again discussing Qs with Trump during the next ad break. “Nice beautiful question, Mika,” Trump said as an aside towards the end of the audio. #Soledad americasvoice.org/blog/hot-mic-a…
"Nobody who’s covered the Trump run could fail to notice the increasingly hot-and-sweaty ménage a trois between the candidate & @Morning_Joe's Mika and Joe." Trump gave the "duo chummy shout-outs at multiple campaign-trail events." #Soledad rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
.@Morning_Joe's "rehearsed & 'safe' town hall" w/ Trump in Feb 2016 "was completely worthless tv" that highlighted the many ways in which the media’s coverage of Trump has been soft, insufficient, & without substance." #Soledad slate.com/news-and-polit…
.@IChotiner Slate 2/16: @MSNBC's reliance on Trump's "ratings—a problem that is especially acute at @CNN—means that they need to maintain a certain amount of politeness when dealing with the real estate magnate." #Soledad
.@Slate 2/2016: "there are no signs the media’s sick, interminable honeymoon w/ Trump will come to an end anytime soon. Which means that rather than witnessing the beginning of the end of Trump’s time in the political spotlight, we may not even be at the end of the beginning."
