This week, Donald Trump sparked controversy on Twitter when he called out the hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe for their two-faced behavior.
The two tweets directed at the hosts called Joe Scarborough “psycho” and Mika Brzezinski “crazy” and “bleeding badly from a face-lift” during a New Years event.
I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came..

…to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!

The posts — while not out of character from Trump — nonetheless sparked a serious of condemnations from media types and politicians alike. As is often the case, many of those condemnations are more than a little hypocritical in their phrasing. The media think Trump is crude, but fail to realize their own behavior toward the president is often much worse.
