GENUINE FAKE NEWS

To all of you lefties out there who keep your head buried in the sand and refuse to acknowledge the existence of honest-to-goodness genuine fake news from the dishonest media, here's the latest example. The two Morning Joe nitwits (Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski) on MSNBC (National Broadcasting Company subsidiary) aired a news show, the Morning Joe on Friday morning. Each day during the week this live moronic show is watched by braindead Americans in search of their morning fix of Republican bashing. On this day, both hosts talked about their Thanksgiving dinner on the previous day.  Then they went about their normal daily activities of bashing our President. One snafu emerged. This was a taped segment. MSNBC aired something that they tried to pawn off a a live broadcast when it was taped. Can you get more fake than that? Democrats are not hampered by the flow of time, the flow of history of the flow of facts to report news and draw conclusions. Here is another example: Former FBI Director, James Comey wrote a memo exonerating Hillary Clinton from the illegal email/server investigation BEFORE the investigation was completed. Any problems with that? For people with a functioning mind, there might be yes. For others, probably no.

‘Morning Joe,’ did you really just pretape your post-Thanksgiving banter?

.
The hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” did the usual day-after Thanksgiving kibitzing on the air on Friday morning, telling viewers about their turkey dinners and mentioning the big football game the night before. One problem: None of those things had actually happened at the time Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Co. started talking about them. The program that aired Friday morning was taped Wednesday, but made to look and sound as if it was airing live. “Morning Joe” airs live on MSNBC five days a week. It features discussions of breaking or very recent news events. Friday’s program had all the earmarks of a typical “Morning Joe” and few viewers seemed to notice that it wasn’t happening in real time. MSNBC offered no announcement or statement to viewers that it was a taped program. The only indirect clue was at the bottom of the screen: The “Live” graphic that normally appears was removed. The rest was cooked up to appear as if it was happening in real time. Brzezinski opened the program by saying, “Day after Thanksgiving! Hoo! I’m stuffed.” The second segment picked up the after-holiday theme. “I always cook the turkey with the guts in it!” Brzezinski said. “Joe didn’t notice. He ate the bag,” quipped co-host Willie Geist, pretending Scarborough had consumed Brzezinski’s theoretical turkey. “It was good!” Scarborough said. He added, “Well, you know, the game made up for it . . .” Scarborough then turned to Rick Tyler, an MSNBC contributor who was Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaign spokesman. “How was your Thanksgiving?” he asked. “Very successful,” responded Tyler. “Although the conversations were interesting.” “I bet!” said Brzezinski. The panel then swung into a discussion of the pedophile controversy surrounding Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore. The illusion that the discussion was live was fostered by the news crawl at the bottom of the screen, which was added over the taped discussion, and a clock showing the time in various time zones. The hosts never got around to talking about Friday morning’s biggest story, the deadly terrorist attack on a mosque in Egypt — because it hadn’t happened yet when they taped. The crawl mentioned it. An MSNBC spokeswoman declined to comment. But an executive confirmed that the program wasn’t live. “There was no intention to trick viewers,” she said. “Would it have helped if there was a disclaimer” referencing it as a delayed broadcast? “Maybe. But that’s not typically done.” As is, she said, “They’re having fun” with the pretense that it’s live. A longtime viewer of the program noticed that Friday’s edition had none of the usual discussion of breaking news and contacted The Washington Post to inquire if “Morning Joe” was presenting “fake news.” He said he was surprised to see Scarborough and Brzezinski appearing in a New York studio on the Friday after Thanksgiving. “I was quite flabbergasted by the way they were so deceptive about this . . . especially when they are always so quick to castigate lying [or] deception they attribute to others,” said the viewer, who asked not to be identified. Scarborough and Brzezinski have engaged in a long-running feud with President Trump over many issues, including the president’s veracity. The hostilities seemed to crest in June when Trump attacked the couple in an early-morning tweet in which he criticized Brzezinski’s appearance.

STAR TREK

It was only three days ago when I thought that I was publicly stating a truth.  The truth being that it would be a long time before I once again spent 5 hours on an elliptical machine in one day. I was fairly certain when I posted that, that I was serious. I should have realized even as I was writing that blog post that I would want to try that again. There is a certain sense of satisfaction from reaching a physical fitness milestone. I still, so clearly remember how proud I was the very first time I stepped on a treadmill, after a decade-long rest, and logged a 20 minute workout just walking. I was extremely proud at the time, as it was a true physical milestone. It was 20 minutes more than I had spent on a treadmill in a very long time.  

Sunday morning, I went to the YMCA, as I enjoy their AMT Elliptical Machines. I completed a 125 minute workout. I took a short 10 minute break and hopped back on the machine for sixty five minutes more. Later in the evening while doing my laundry at home, I spent 35 minutes on the elliptical during the wash cycle.  Another 45 minutes while the clothes were in the dryer.  And finally, for no particular reason, I just felt like another 35 minutes after my clothes were folded. 

When the day was done, I realized that I had spent 5 hours and 5 minutes on the elliptical machine. Although, I could have watched the Academy Awards during my evening workout, I chose not to. The Oscars telecast is wildly uninteresting to me. I do casually care who might have won various rewards, and I found out this morning. 

The thing that has kept me unfocused on the exercise and allowed time to speed by while I am strengthening my legs and burning a few calories has been my latest dubious idea.  I am watching Star Trek - The Next Generation on Netflix.  I started at the beginning and I am halfway through Season 1.  This is a show that I really enjoyed during its 7 year run which made its debut nearly 30 years ago.  This is not a series that where I have seen every episode multiple times (like original Star Trek, Get Smart and Seinfeld).  As I watch these episodes, I am both often surprised how good (and bad) some are. I barely remember them, so for many of these shows it is almost as if watching for the first time. One thing is certain, watching these shows on Netflix makes time go fast and allows me to have a seemingly quicker workout.  Yesterday, my Star Trek Marathon lasted 3 hours and 5 minutes.  The day before that, the marathon was only 190 minutes. Finally, after a lifetime, Star Trek is bringing a tangible benefit to my life and well-being. 

THE NEXT THING THAT I NEED TO DO: EAT LESS.  OSTENSIBLY IT SHOULD BE A LOT EASIER TO EAT LESS THAN SPEND ENDLESS HOURS ON AN ELLIPTICAL MACHINE. It should be easier - but it is not. Life is not easy.
