This morning, CNBC’s Michelle Caruso-Cabrera appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe to announce the new, "awful," December jobs report.
"Oh good Lord..." said host Joe Scarborough. “That’s a horrific number. That's one of the lowest numbers we've seen in years."
Morning Joe's crack news team did make a half-hearted stab at blaming "cold weather," but you could tell they're just not into the argument. The fact is there's simply no way to spin this data as anything other than dismal. They even bemoaned the fact that the unemployment rate only went down because so many people left the workforce. For MSNBC, that comes dangerously close to actual reporting.
Probably the best part of the segment was the look on Mika Brzezinski's face. Dour, downcast, and frustrated, she looks like her head's about to explode. This may be because, like liberals everywhere, she treats each and every bit of negative news that stems from her political messiah's administration as a personal assault.
Point out the painfully obvious fact that Obama's tenure is a shambles, and they just can't handle it.
It's telling that the normally vocal Mika offers no challenge whatsoever.
