Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough said on Monday that legacy media reporters who have tried to delegitimize President Donald Trump since the day he was elected will be remembered as “heroes” of the Trump era.
Only in Scarborough’s insular NYC-centric world would reporters be considered “heroes,” and he was promptly mocked and ridiculed for being so out of touch with reality.
"Hero" is a strong word for people doing their jobs, but in no particular order….
1. Reporters
2. Judges
3. John McCain https://t.co/IbJLVQPlEJ— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) August 21, 2017
History will look at the work of reporters at the NYTimes, Washington Post & other outlets & remember it as a high water mark for the press. https://t.co/sAhTbuo4Xc

How many lives have reporters saved? Joe's list of heroes speaks volumes about his character (or, in his case, lack thereof). Shame on him.

To cap off a crappy day we have @JoeNBC saying reporters are heroes. Even more reason to despise the self absorbed, arrogant media.

@JoeNBC reporters will be heroes? Do you really believe this crap? You and your leftist cronies have been made to look like total assess.

Heroes! Ur so full of 💩. US has most free press than anywhere on planet. Reporters in China/Venezuela are the real heroes. Get real dipper!

Reporters as heroes? Get a grip on reality.

Right. The same "heroes" of the Obama era when sycophancy was stylish and advocacy for POTUS and his agenda were the modus operandi.

How impenetrable a bubble do you have to be in to think reporters are the top heroes today?#NarcissisticPress

Joe, really? I dare say there aren't more than 2 people in this country who think people who CLAIM to be reporters are "heroes". No way.
