Mika Brzezinski says Clinton campaign wanted her 'pulled off the air'

Talk about thin-skinned. Can you imagine Obama or Hillary having to endure the 24/7 bombardment of negativity that conservative politicians have to endure?

During Friday’s episode of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host Mika Brzezinski claimed that while Clinton and Donald Trump were battling for the White House, the Clinton campaign attempted to get her “pulled off the air.”
Brzezinski said the incident took place after she hinted that Clinton didn’t have the presidential election in the bag as many thought.
“I was concerned the campaign was not understanding that perhaps there was an arrogance. They needed to sort of get off their high horse and understand that this isn’t over,” Brzezinski recalled on Friday. “I’ll just say it: NBC got a call from the [Clinton] campaign. Like I had done something that was journalistically inappropriate or something and needed to be pulled off the air.”

Mika has hit the wall pretty hard lately.

The fact that a politician is behind the curtain pulling these kinds of strings and making these kinds of demands is frickING SCARY.
Talk about #fakenews. This is how you do not have an independent and thoughtful press - they know that if they do not toe the line the call is coming and their job may be on the line.
That's real news.

Just like with Rex getting banned from DU, you not only have to be on their side you have to be on their side in the exact manner they want you to be or they try to get rid of you.

In this particular case, massive power was brought to bear to prevent justice from ever coming into this courtroom. The power to make authoritive pronouncements, the power to manipulate the news media by the release of false information, the power to interfere with an honest inquiry and the power to provide an endless variety of experts to testify in behalf of power, repeatedly was demonstrated in this case.
The American people have yet to see the Zapruder film. Why? The American people have yet to see and hear from the real witnesses to the assassination. Why? Because, today in America too much emphasis is given to secrecy, with regard to the assassination of our President, and not enough emphasis is given to the question of justice and to the question of humanity.
These dignified deceptions will not suffice. We have had enough of power without truth. We don't have to accept power without truth or else leave the country. I don't accept either of these two alternatives. I don't intend to leave the country and I don't intend to accept power without truth.
I intend to fight for the truth. I suggest that not only is this not un-American, but it is the most American thing we can do--because if the truth does not endure, then our country will not endure.

This is how awful a hillary presidency would've been for freedom of speech. Citizens united, fake news, telling compliant network cronies to pull anyone who criticizes her

Nothing nourishes me more than the left eating their own.

The irony of this is mind blowing
Here was a reporter trying to give one campaign helpful advice (shes obviously chosen sides)
That campaign wants her off the air because of her negativity (they know shes chosen sides, so she needs to just shut up)
And the reporter is just stunned that they lost, because they wouldnt accept her advice (but really the reporter thinks she was being attacked, due to her fair and impartial reporting)
It doesn't get any better folks

It was reported in wikilLeaks that Mika was threatened by the Crooked campaign.
It took Mika long enough to fess up.
The nepotism with the Obama WH and democrats and the media needs to end.

Pundits are starting to learn just how "tolerant" liberals are once you step off the bandwagon.
Ask conservative females/minorities/gays how tolerant liberals are when you deign to think for yourself instead of their pre-approved, enlightened talking points. They go scorched earth against you.

Apparently Mika's words were "Fake News" and she must be silenced.

Funny that people are overlooking the most controversial aspect of this...
She is freely admitting she is in the tank for Hillary and was trying to use her position as a "journalist" to help her campaign. That is why she found their reaction shocking.

To be fair to Mika, she really played it fairly straight during the election. She was always a left wing hack before, but she slammed Clinton pretty good on the emails and didn't hold back on her feelings about Clinton in general.
