MSNBC’s Ruhle Slams the Media for Not Enough Negative Trump Coverage: ‘Absolute Double Standard’

BRZEZINSKI: “Sorry about that Joe. So, Stephanie Ruhle, I’m just curious about a position for Elon Musk that Trump was proposing, among other things. I’ve read the article. I don’t see anything about the childcare comments. It’s just — it’s all very curious. It’s like a tree falls in the forest and I guess no one hears it, is Donald Trump saying something ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous, that proves him to be completely unfit, and they — I don’t know. They don’t see it.”
RUHLE: “We’ll get to Elon Musk in one second. What’s stunning is this, Mika. If Donald Trump was inarticulate yesterday when he was explaining the childcare policy, when he had to answer about the deficit, we could accept that, right? What do I do for a living? I analyze economic policy and the comments politicians make about the economy. He didn’t utter a single coherent sentence. Many of the things he said, there weren’t even verbs in his sentences. It was, ‘Marco Rubio,’ ‘my daughter Ivanka,’ ‘child care is child care.’ And the fact that we’re not covering that — like, let’s be clear, day in and day out we’re saying, ‘I need to see every single one of Kamala Harris’ policies and I want to see every punctuation and I want to see it listen in 15-point font.’ There is an absolute double standard in the way these two individuals are being covered. Remember how Joe Biden performed at the debate. It was a disaster. Everybody here at the table knows it was a disaster, and we talked about it day in and day out. Where is the media talking about what Donald Trump presented? If under that word salad there was policy, bring it on, let’s talk about it. I would love to do so. Donald Trump is invited to come on and let’s discuss it, but there isn’t a policy to discuss. So anybody who’s passing it off is just really saying, ‘I just want those tax cuts.’ And for any of those CEOs, especially publicly traded companies who think the economy has been a disaster over the last four years, that is a whole lot of baloney, because check out the performance of their stock, check out how they’ve done personally, and it’s been extraordinary.”
SCARBOROUGH: “I mean, it’s been extraordinary.”
BRZEZINSKI: “Excellent. Thank you. Well put.”
