In roughly eight minutes Wednesday afternoon, MSNBC Live host Katy Tur and far-left liberal actor Rob Reiner were able to showcase why the embarrassingly smug behavior of Hollywood and the liberal media has continued to lose them supporters despite their deranged attempts to play the victim card.

Tur started her pity party by showing video of CNN’s Jim Acosta being heckled at a Tuesday night Trump rally and fretting that “I would say the President's supporters attacking the media was unbelievable, but it is not” as “[i]t is constant and has been since 2016.”

She added that what was “unbelievable” was Eric Trump “tweeting a video in support of the crowd and then the President himself re-tweeting that video” and then lectured the President and his administration for not defending Acosta before welcome on Reiner with all the glee of a kid in a candy store.

Tur continued to admit that “this is not a new thing,” but instead of moving or taking the high road, the MSNBC host couldn’t leave the topic be as she complained: “The President hasn't said a word to his supporters to tell them to cool off, to chill out, to calm down. He stokes this.”

Even though it’s supposed to be an interview, Reiner happily sat by as Tur ranted (click “expand” for more):

When you don't like the answer, you'll boo the messenger, which is we saw happened to Jim Acosta last night. People don't want to hear the facts about the President it seems or Donald Trump supporters don't want to hear the facts. A lot of them tune us out, won’t believe a single thing that they say. They believe what he says over us, which is, you know, propaganda, when you don’t have somebody to push back or fact-check or correct the spin or they’ll believe their friends and family, but they're not going to believe the media, even if the media is comporting with what they're seeing with their own eyes.

This teed up Reiner to argue that he views the media world as having “two mainstream medias” with one being “Washington Post, New York Times, all the networks except for Fox working very hard to get the truth out.”

The way he should have phrased that was they’re engaging in bias by omission, playing favorites with socialists, and working to get Trump removed from office. But that’s just one man’s take

In his mind, he reiterated a hysterically false claim that “this is the first time that you have mainstream media essentially divided into two halves, so that you have, you know, Fox, Breitbart, Sinclair and Alex Jones, which has now been taken off of Facebook, thank God.” Alex Jones hasn’t been taken off Facebook yet (though most think he should be).

Comparing today’s journalists to those in the lead-up to the Iraq War, Reiner bemoaned: “[T]hey weren't facing the headwinds that real journalists who are working very hard now to get the truth out, which is this cement block, a wall that they cannot penetrate with the truth and that's the scary part.”

Tur then showed how out of touch she is with the American populace when she seemed exasperated at the notion that, three years after Trump began his candidacy, droves of people still believe that “the media” and Hollywood don’t “represent regular people.”

She pleaded with Reiner to help her figure this out, so Reiner responded as only Meathead could, which is double down (click “expand” for more)

REINER: You just have to keep pounding away. There's nothing else you can do. I mean, look, it doesn't speak to the mainstream media. They're just angry. Their people are angry, and he will feed them whatever they want to keep that anger going and you see it in the rallies. He actually calls for, you know, this outrage and take it out against the media, take it out against immigrants, take it out against whomever you want. That's what he does. He keeps stirring it up. But you have to stay at it, you have to say at it. There's no other way. TUR: Bring the fact checking up to 11. REINER: Well, if you can, I mean if you can. If you don't break through, we are going to have — we are in right now, it might be the last stage of a civil war. The latest battle is being fought. Hopefully it won't be fought physically, but we are more divided than we ever have been and we’ve got a President who is backed up by media. Presidents have always spewed propaganda. Liberals, Democrats, Republicans, everyone has.

After a commercial break, Tur returned in the MSNBC Live handoff to Ali Velshi with Velshi touting what “a fun conversation” both on air and “off air too.”

“He — he keeps saying and I agree with this completely, we’re arguing facts. We’re arguing whether or not this is a cup instead of arguing policy,” Tur added, heaping more praise on Reiner.
