C'mon now, MSNOW: "The Diplomat"? Really? [View all]

I usually like Ali Velshi's show on MSNOW on the weekends, and I appreciate the fact that the network has live programming on at that time. But this morning on his show they kept running a huge banner across the bottom of the screen that said THE DIPLOMAT

That's all it said. But is was obvious it was meant to describe Jaydee Vance of all people because in addition to this huge banner the rest of the screen was filled with flattering "take charge" pics of the guy. He's striding purposely on the tarmac, he's meeting foreign leaders, he's shaking hands and doing other "diplomaty" things, apparently.

Give me a break. MSNOW is also giving him a lot of credit for supposedly being "anti-war". They're doing him a real service this morning. He could use this for his 2028 campaign ad.
