Did you happen to catch “Morning Joe” on Friday? We certainly hope not. But if you did you were treated to a pre-taped episode that according to the Washington Post’s Paul Farhi was passed off as “the real (live) deal:

Laura Ingraham and Brit Hume jumped in to have a little fun at Joe and Mika’s expense:
And to think that on a daily basis they call @realDonaldTrump a fraud. https://t.co/LWzeOYigiv

But is it really the Fake News that Fahri suggests it is? Maybe not…
Here’s Scarborough defending the taped episode, saying it’s an inside joke and they do it every year:
Wow. You either never watch our show or need your jokes so obvious they fall on you like an anvil on Bugs Bunny cartoons. We've been making fun of the practice for years. Its also over-the-top to be obvious. https://t.co/ryTXDt0Y4c

Also, the only person you sourced was an unnamed viewer who didn't want to be identified? Really? That's your source. One viewer who remained anonymous? That's funny.
Any editors around there?? https://t.co/bDLAIINjoW— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) November 26, 2017
Maybe Trump is right and the Washington Post is Fake News?
