Posting this again bc it is clear it is deliberately directed at Trump, as they often do on Fox when they know he's watching and often desperately try to send him advice through the TV. I wonder if this approach came from the saner members of the senior admin staff.

Brian Stelter is a cueballed grinning gnome who spends his day regurgitating Beltway and network talking points and pushing his book on how Fox News was a legitimate news org that only "lost its way" in the last decade. He has the gullibility of a smoothbrained chud.

Morning Joe plays "I Got You Babe" from Groundhog Day as it returns from break. Scarborough, clearly over this, says on-air it is impossible for Trump to make up his deficit in PA. He is pushing to get them to call it with a variety of leading questions.

 

Kornacki just said that the next batch could put Biden's lead up in PA over 40K. If that's true someone better remind MSNBC of its promise yesterday to call it at 35K.

 

Bet this hurt for Jake to write. 

 

Scarborough is knocking the networks for constantly 'moving the goalposts' on calling the race after reading a Biden campaign statement that says the networks need to call it. He and Kornacki are both going back and forth each really putting the pressure on the control room now.

I'm not the biggest Joe Scarbrough fan in the world, but his constant trolling this morning gave me life. We all know it's over and the media being to afraid to call it, for fear of Trump's reaction is why more and more people distrust and hate the them. I'm glad the anchors seem to be in open revolt now.

    • I think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?   
    • I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. They're connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters.
    • Hahaha. Jean Hackney, Angelica Nero, and the Falcon Crest henchwomen were all straight out of a James Bond movie.
    • My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.
    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.  
    • The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl. 
    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character
