I must admit that I did not have "Chris Cuomo scorches Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski over NBC News drama" on my bingo card for this week, but I am so here for it.

When last we left you with the duncetastic duo, they were using their platform on MSNBC Monday to join their other panicked colleagues in collectively condemning their employer, NBC News, for bringing on former Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel as a paid political analyst headed into the 2024 election campaign season. 

“To be clear, we believe NBC News should seek out conservative Republican voices to provide balance in their election coverage. But it should be conservative Republicans, not a person who used her position of power to be an anti-democracy election denier,” Brzezinski proclaimed at the time.

“And we hope NBC will reconsider its decision. It goes without saying that she will not be a guest on ‘Morning Joe’ in her capacity as a paid contributor,” she added.

On his NewsNation broadcast Monday, Cuomo, who was fired from CNN after the extent of his collusion with then-NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Chris' older brother, during the Gov's sexual harassment scandal was revealed, took aim at Joe and Mika's commentary. He noted that while he got the part about not wanting to lend credibility to McDaniel, their whining rang hollow considering their elevation of Donald Trump in 2016:

"NBC hires her. I'm sure other people were trying to get her. But now everybody's mad. Now this happens in the media. Somebody hires somebody that other people would have hired as well, but they attack the place that hired 'em. But this is coming in-house, big shots inside MSNBC, like Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski.

[...]

Look, I have no beef. But it was okay for you, Mika and Joe, to have Trump on all the time, and to talk to him about what questions to ask, right? When it was working for you, when he was running, right? When you guys were all pals, that was okay, right? You didn't have any problem with that, right? Just because you went bad on him when it became convenient because you work at a lefty outlet, this is okay, now you can be high-minded about it, right? The hypocrisy reeks.

Now you see the bias at play, especially when it comes to Mika and Joe. I was against them in the morning at CNN and I still beat them, twice. Even with them having Trump on all the time. And you remember the tape that came out of them in break asking Trump about what questions to ask next? And how they were going to do their next segment at the town hall. And nobody got upset about it, it was there and gone because all the reporters want to be on their show in the morning. But now, they have standards about what's right and what's wrong. It's all advantage. It's all hypocrisy."

Watch:

"The hypocrisy reeks!"

"It's all hypocrisy," Cuomo proclaimed. He points out that the liberal media didn't have a problem with Joe and Mika working with Trump behind the scenes of their show. "It was there and gone because all the reporters want to be on their show in the morning." pic.twitter.com/oQXZUCbXji

I'm not a fan of Chris Cuomo at all, but when he's right, he's right.

As we've talked about before, the likes of Mika and Joe have no standing whatsoever to be on their high horses about "standards" and "credibility" considering they have no problem amplifying - and then turning their backs on - public figures (translation: Republicans) who their colleagues consider controversial as long as it means they'll get a ratings boost and get talked about/elevated in all the right DC Cocktail Party Circuit circles.

Not to mention their network's promotion and praise of certifiable election deniers like Stacey Abrams and Hillary Clinton.

Like seasoned grifters often do, Joe and Mika will say and do pretty much anything to get attention. The problem with that is that not all attention is the good kind, something they've learned the hard way through their bitter public spats with Trump and now (again) through Cuomo, with whom the co-hosts have had a rocky professional relationship over the years.
