Donny Deutsch on Morning Joe: I am not going to say this is the beginning of fascism but

[egbertowillies]

Donny Deutsch should have made the case that the tone of the private discussion between Trump and the media had undertones of fascism instead of dipping his toes. As Donny was making his case, Scarborough continued to interrupt in an attempt to blur the proper narrative. I cut out most of Scarborough's superfluous misdirecting bloviation. Watch the video here.

"What I read gave me a yucky feeling," Deutsch said. "I am not going to say this is the beginning of fascism, but there is something concerning when a President-Elect or a President feels it's okay to bring the media in the room and scold them about what they are covering. By the way, CNN made Donald Trump for the first ten months of this election. They covered his speeches beginning to end. This goes under the guise, one more thing that we normalize. I was very disturbed, concerned, our president, at least as it was reported, chastising, yelling, 'You can't cover me this way. Cover me this way.' That's just not who we are."

Scarborough interjected that he did not think Trump was yelling. Deutsch said Trump was certainly dressing them down.

"Donald Trump created Donald Trump off the media," Deutsch continued. "He's played the media and he continued to do it."

Hopefully, people will start seeing the slow creep towards fascism that Trump, a rather unstable personality, is taking us towards. We need to explain this slow creep to Americans, so they will back those that will attempt to mitigate it.

1. Scarbie didn't think Don was yelling? He wasn't even there!

Idiots, all

2. Does a frog notice the heating water?

[Bucky]

5. Actually, yes, frogs will literally try to jump out of water as it heats up.

In this respect, amphibians are smarter than network journalists.

[WhiteTara]

8. I was going to post

Maybe there is hope for us until I read amphibians are smarter than people and I went back in to my despair mode.

11. :o/

my bad

3. You Know There's That Old Saying That "History Repeats Itself"....

Unfortunately though - with the dumbing down of America and the rewriting of history - many American's have no concept of 'fascism'.

As such - they wouldn't recognize it as it is being thrown in their faces.

6. They can't be fascists. They're not wearing khaki uniforms with black arm bands.

and they're oppressing an entirely different religious minority!

[stevenleser]

13. Some of them and overtly maybe, but among Trumps "alt-right" supporters antisemitism

is a big part of their belief system.

[Wellstone ruled]

4. What one should watch is what and how

the NY Times formulates their response after today's ass chewing. This is the Politicians Paper of Record,and if they go Scab,well hang in baby,it is going to be one hell of a ride.

7. In fairness, Donnie has been consistent in opposing Trump on MJ, one of the small group on that

vile show to have the moral courage to do so. I'm surprised Scumborough has continued to have him back on, given the Scummer's vindictive nature.

9. DEUTSCH's role is to attempt to say something, be pimp slapped by SCABS & stick tail between legs

[kentuck]

10. I tried to watch it...

I flipped over to CNN when Joe kept interrupting him.

By the way, CNN was much better.

12. Someone eloquent needs to write to the NYT to hold true to the integrity of journalism.

Don't cow tow to Trump's bullying. Democracy depends on them rising above the pressures of 1 man. They have a responsibility to uphold journalistic integrity. Now more than ever. We are a country in dire straits and need members of the press Corp to do their jobs.

[BSdetect]

14. Its not a slow creep towards fascism - its already fascism

Lies, hatred and fear to get elected, blaming "others" for worsening social conditions, encouraging violence.

Deregulating finance again. That is their main goal. Get those snouts deeper into the trough.
