Hostin expressed disdain for the\u200c meeting, labeling it \u200cas \u2062&#8221;kissing the \u200dring&#8221; of\u2063 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mike-kelly-same-people-criticizing-trump-peddled-russia-collusion-hoax\/\" title=\"Mike Kelly: Same People Criticizing Trump Peddled Russia Collusion Hoax\">president-elect<\/a>, arguing that genuine journalism \u200bdoes not require such personal engagements. She emphasized \u2064the need for a free press that \u200cchallenges those in power.<\/p>\n<p>Navarro echoed Hostin&#8217;s sentiments, declaring that she would never meet \u2064with Trump, as\u2062 some might perceive the meeting as &#8220;opportunistic.&#8221; While Hostin stated \u2063that MSNBC hosts are not \u200btrue journalists, co-host Alyssa \u200cFarah acknowledged that\u2063 Brzezinski and Scarborough \u2062recognized the significance of the 75 million voters who \u200bsupported Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2062 discussion highlights the tension between journalistic integrity and the evolving dynamics of political\u200d reporting. The \u2063co<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">-hosts expressed varied opinions<\/a> on the motivations behind the \u200cmeeting, questioning its implications \u200dfor both the media \u2063and their viewers.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">&lsquo;The View&rsquo; rips MSNBC hosts for going to Trump&rsquo;s Mar-a-Lago to &lsquo;kiss his ring&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1884235\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/the-view\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title='\"The View\"'>The View<\/a><\/em>  co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro raged over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/msnbc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"MSNBC\">MSNBC<\/a>&lsquo;s <em>Morning Joe<\/em> hosts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mika-brzezinski\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Mika Brzezinski\">Mika Brzezinski<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-scarborough\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Mika Brzezinski\">Joe Scarborough<\/a> meeting with President-elect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mar-a-lago\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Mar-a-Lago<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>On Monday morning, Brzezinski and Scarborough <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3232977\/morning-joe-reopens-communication-trump-he-gets-serious-media-bias\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"revealed that they met with Trump\">revealed that they met with Trump<\/a> after not having seen him in seven years.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;For nearly 80 million Americans, election denialism, public trials, Jan. 6, were not as important as the issues that moved them to send Donald Trump back to the White House with their vote.
