In a stunning display of the liberal media’s intellectual bankruptcy, MSNBC’s Morning Joe turned to former ESPN personality Pablo Torre for economic and political analysis this past Friday, abandoning any pretense of journalistic seriousness. Substitute host Katty Kay, herself no stranger to biased reporting, set the stage by asking Torre to comment on two key pillars of President Donald Trump’s America First agenda: his effort to remove Federal Reserve member Lisa Cook and his plan to send federal agents to Chicago to arrest unauthorized immigrants.

Kay’s line of questioning revealed the network’s desperate hope for failure, as she pointedly asked, “why, in response to Trump’s efforts to remove Cook, the dollar and the markets ‘haven’t tanked in the way that some people thought they might be?’” This phrasing exposes the liberal wishful thinking that constantly roots for American decline, all in an effort to score political points against President Trump. It’s almost laughable that while the mainstream media whines about minor changes, Trump’s policies have actually strengthened our nation’s economy and security.

The result of this bizarre casting was a televised train wreck. Torre, clearly out of his depth, delivered what was aptly described as “a meandering mess of a commentary.” Throughout the segment, he repeatedly mumbled about a “lag” in the impact of Trump’s policies—a feeble and convoluted attempt to explain away the immediate market stability following the President’s decisive action. His rambling performance reached a peak of absurdity when he confessed that he felt like he’s taking “crazy pills, again,” only to finish off with a seemingly out-of-place Ronald Reagan quote.

The segment hit its nadir when a “plaintive Pablo” lamented his solitary holiday weekend in New York, exclaiming, “It’s very lonely here.” In response, Kay offered hollow condolences, cooing, “I’m so sorry you’re all alone. It does something to you, being solitary up in the studio. I know we won’t forget you, Pablo.” This cringe-worthy exchange highlights the unprofessional atmosphere at MSNBC, where substantive debate is replaced with emotional pandering, and the elevation of unqualified voices is used to perpetuate left-wing narratives.

One can only imagine the reaction of the other panelists, seasoned journalists like Sam Stein and David Ignatius, who must have been inwardly groaning at the spectacle of a sports podcaster being asked to opine on complex federal policy. This incident is a perfect microcosm of the liberal media’s broader problem: they are so blinded by their hatred for President Trump that they will platform anyone, regardless of expertise, as long as they signal opposition to his common-sense, patriotic agenda.
