This group includes, for instance, President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-trump-biden-act-like-buddies-meet-oval-office\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joe Biden<\/a>, Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/months-saying-democracy-dies-trump-wins-kamala-confirms-lie-admitting-going-ok\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kamala Harris<\/a>, and anyone else whose <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">post-election behavior suggests<\/a> that he or she never actually believed the inflammatory and dangerous anti-Trump rhetoric with which they filled their angry and impressionable supporters&rsquo; heads on a near-daily basis for the last nine years.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, when they likened Trump to Nazi dictator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/holocaust-survivor-slams-harris-last-ditch-ploy-know-hitler-kamala-will-ever-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adolf Hitler<\/a>, they knowingly lied.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Rubin and other seething bigots of her ilk will accept no narrative except the one that dehumanizes Trump. She, therefore, belongs to the second category: those who appear to believe the lies they have peddled or absorbed.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the very fact that Rubin and others have taken refuge in Bluesky&rsquo;s liberal echo chamber shows that they prefer intellectual incest to the sort of open dialogue that might &ldquo;humanize&rdquo; Trump or his supporters, whose ubiquitous presence on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/nfl-following-ufc-onto-trump-train-league-embraces-elon-musks-x-president-elects-iconic-dance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elon Musk&rsquo;s<\/a> social media platform X has left establishment liberals pining for the days when they could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/twitter-files-drop-reveals-fbis-dirty-trick-keep-social-media-giant-thumb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">censor<\/a> anyone whose ideas annoyed them.<\/p>\n<p>In the bigger picture, of course, Rubin and her second-category compatriots personify the imminent demise of the establishment media.<\/p>\n<p>In October, for instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/651977\/americans-trust-media-remains-trend-low.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gallup<\/a> once again reported &ldquo;record-low trust&rdquo; in that once-trusted institution.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, whereas Scarborough and Brzezinski performed what amounted to a cosmetic and rear-guard action designed to give the appearance of preserving what very little remained of their journalistic integrity, they have at least openly acknowledged that they must pursue a different course.<\/p>\n<p>Rubin, on the other hand, encouraged her fellow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fact-check-trump-say-joe-scarborough-behaved-like-scolded-dog-mar-lago-meeting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump<\/a>-hating liberals to burn the proverbial boats. By continuing to perpetuate nine years of lies and thereby embracing her unofficial role as pro-establishment activists, she seems to think that she and others like her will have a future in media, which, as she rightly indicated, operates on &ldquo;market&rdquo; principles.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for Rubin, she does not seem to understand that the &ldquo;market&rdquo; doomed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/insult-injury-msnbc-cnn-suffer-staggering-ratings-plunge-following-trump-victory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSNBC<\/a> in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, Trump won in part by exposing the lies peddled by phony journalists like Scarborough, Brzezinski and Rubin.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Rubin thinks that angry liberals&rsquo; way forward involves excommunicating her fellow liars who do not hate Trump enough. That, of course, amounts to a recipe for more complete marginalization of unhinged establishment shills like Rubin.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, we wish her good luck.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !

They can either admit that President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s significant win in the 2024 election is a rejection of their constant falsehoods, necessitating a change in strategy, or they can indirectly recognize this by intensifying their irrational behavior, which has led most Americans to view them with disdain. On Monday, Washington Post opinion writer and MSNBC contributor Jen Rubin chose the latter path on the social media platform Bluesky, suggesting that outraged viewers should boycott MSNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Morning Joe&#8221; after co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski revealed they had recently met with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate. Rubin stated, &#8220;The market works great. You can stop watching Morning Joe anytime.&#8221; Earlier that day, Scarborough and Brzezinski announced their unexpected meeting with Trump from Friday. In what seemed like a forced statement, they attempted to balance expressing a desire to &#8220;restart communications&#8221; with Trump while assuring their audience of staunch anti-Trump viewers that they would not &#8220;defend or normalize Donald Trump.&#8221; Ultimately, their message likely failed to convince anyone of their authenticity. Supporters of Trump have little reason to trust Scarborough or Brzezinski or any other establishment media figures. Rubin&#8217;s reaction indicates some extreme liberals may be ready to abandon &#8220;Morning Joe.&#8221; She commented on Bluesky: \u201cIf you don\u2019t appreciate your audience and betray them, you will lose many.\u201d Her remarks followed another user&#8217;s criticism of the co-hosts as opportunists; Rubin responded by calling it \u201cdisgusting.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>This internal conflict among anti-Trump liberals will help differentiate between two types of establishment figures. By meeting with Trump, Scarborough and Brzezinski belong to one group\u2014those who never truly believed the inflammatory rhetoric against him despite promoting it for years. Conversely, Rubin represents those who seem convinced by the lies they&#8217;ve propagated about Trump; her presence in Bluesky\u2019s liberal echo chamber suggests she prefers insular thinking over open dialogue that could humanize him or his supporters.<\/p>\n<p>In broader terms, Rubin exemplifies the decline of establishment media; Gallup recently reported record-low trust in such institutions.
