The Fix: Emails show Debbie Wasserman Schultz pressured ‘Morning Joe’ — to no avail

This woman wasn't even trying to hide her biases.

On May 18, "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski said Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz "should step down" because she had favored Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders throughout the primary. One week later, Brzezinski doubled down, saying, "My contention all along has been that [Wasserman Schultz] has been in the tank for Hillary from the get-go, and it's been quite obvious."

The repetition seemed like no big deal at the time, but now hacked DNC emails show that in between Wasserman Schultz and her staff flipped out, pressuring MSNBC to make Brzezinski and partner Joe Scarborough tone down their criticism. Clearly, it didn't work.

While the focus of WikiLeaks' release of DNC emails has rightfully been on any evidence that party officials tried to aid Clinton and hamper Sanders — evidence that prompted Wasserman Schultz to resign, just as Brzezinski said she should — the leaked trove of roughly 20,000 messages also offers a window into Democrats' relations with the press.

That's surprising since most DNC controlled news outlets like MSLSD, gladly do the bidding of Dems.
