Morning Joe Skips Dem’s ‘Shut Up’ to Collins, CNN Laughs It Off
In a debate for a Maine Senate seat, Democrat Troy Jackson told 73-year-old Republican Susan Collins to “shut up.” Morning Joe devoted precisely zero seconds in its three hours to the incident.

King: GOP Warning Of 'Misery, Poverty, and Death' Is 'Desperation'
CNN chief national correspondent John King stopped by his old show, Inside Politics, on Friday to discuss his insight on the state of the midterms.
