The media circus has reached peak absurdity, and Nikki Haley isn’t holding back. On her SiriusXM show, “Nikki Haley Live,” the former United Nations ambassador laid into “Morning Joe” hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough for their blatant hypocrisy. The two liberal media darlings have done a complete 180 on Donald Trump—and Haley has receipts.
For years, Brzezinski and Scarborough were relentless in their attacks on Haley for daring to support some of Trump’s policies while criticizing others. Now? They’re cozying up to the man they once likened to a fascist. What changed? According to Haley, it wasn’t a newfound respect for Trump—it was a desperate attempt to claw back their tanking ratings.
“They tore me up,” Haley said, recalling their harsh criticism of her measured support for Trump. “But the truth is, it’s not that they suddenly saw the light. It’s that they saw the ratings.” Ouch. Haley pulled no punches, pointing out what she sees as the duo’s shameless willingness to flip-flop for their own benefit.
She isn’t alone in calling them out. Megyn Kelly, another no-nonsense voice on SiriusXM, chimed in with her own critique. On her show, Kelly lambasted the “Morning Joe” hosts for their recent visit to Mar-a-Lago—a far cry from their previous rhetoric. Let’s not forget, these are the same people who spent years likening Trump to authoritarian leaders. Now they’re smiling for photo ops? Kelly didn’t mince words, accusing them of swapping principles for popularity.
MORE WINNING
No one propagated the “Trump is Hitler” BS more than MSNBC & #MorningJoe
Now, fearing low ratings cancellation, they meet Trump, beg for mercy & promise to cover his 2nd term fairly

And then there’s Charlamagne tha God, who joined Haley’s discussion and took aim at the broader liberal media strategy. His message? Stop playing it safe. “If you don’t like something that somebody’s saying, why not go talk to that person about it and challenge them right then and there?” he asked. He hit the nail on the head: the left is quick to criticize but slow to engage. Instead of building their own platforms or engaging with opposing voices, they’re stuck in echo chambers, afraid to venture into the lions’ den.
This fiasco underscores a deeper issue: media credibility is in freefall. Scarborough’s recent criticisms of Republicans like Bill Barr, who endorsed Trump for 2024 despite previous disagreements, only add to the hypocrisy. The pattern is clear—principles take a backseat to ratings and self-preservation.
ERIC TRUMP: “The media has lost all credibility. He had a media that was against him every day. Joe and Mika are trashing my dad every morning. They used to spend weekend at Mar-a-Lago. Oprah, Erin Burnett, Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, we knew them all and they loved us…until my… pic.twitter.com/JnnVmBlvP5

At a time when voters are craving authenticity, this kind of media pandering isn’t just frustrating; it’s insulting. Haley, Kelly, and Charlamagne are right to call out the double standards. It’s time to hold the media accountable for their own contradictions. If they won’t do it themselves, conservative voices are more than happy to step up.
