Mika Brzezinski

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski describes as "disastrous" the Oval Office meeting among Trump, Vance, and Zelensky. But Morning Joe regular Elisabeth Bumiller of the New York Times admits though "hard to watch," it was a "pressure tactic that got us somewhere." Mika responds with a curt "all right" and quickly moves on.

The blowhards at MSNBC’s Morning Joe should realize that continuing to shoot lies through their whitened tooth implants on the air about Elon Musk doesn’t make them any more true. What’s worse is that they don’t even attempt to be clever about it.

On Morning Joe, responding to President Trump in his Joint Address to Congress having called Joe Biden "the worst president in American history," Joe Scarborough says: "I'm quite confident that ten, 20 years from now, when they're ranking presidents, Joe Biden will be doing very well."

On Wednesday's Anderson Cooper 360, CNN gave liberal Senator Angus King (I-ME) a forum to accuse President Donald Trump of abusing his constitutional power with his actions since taking office. And on Thursday morning, MSNBC's Morning Joe followed suit with their own interview with him entirely devoted to this topic.

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski chokes up in praising Caroline Kennedy for her "painful" decision to put out a video trashing her cousin RFK Jr. and his nomination as head of HHS.  Among other things, Caroline calls RFK a "predator" and accuses him of being responsible for the death of relatives by allegedly enticing them into drug abuse.

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski gave a surprisingly candid take on the Trump pardons versus the Biden pardons. She recognizes that granting the pardons is Trump's right, and whereas Trump kept his promise of pardoning J6 participants, Biden did not keep his word that he would not pardon Hunter or other family members.

In a fit of world-class revisionism, Morning Joe credits Jimmy Carter, more than Ronald Reagan, for the fall of the Soviet Union, and analogizes Carter to Abraham Lincoln.

Joe Scarborough leads his comments on the certification today of Trump's victory with a story about a Capitol Hill police officer who committed suicide after J6. But he left out some important details.

This past week, several MSNBC hosts pushed a sore loser narrative that the Republican House majority was won because of "rigged" congressional districts, with one host even claiming Republicans had been "cheating basically."

Morning Joe devotes a segment to an Axios article, Shards of glass: Inside media's 12 splintering realities. The notion is that depending on demographics, people get their information from very different media silos. One of the categories is "Right-wing grandpas,' a reference to Fox News viewers. What is not revealed is that the average age of Fox News viewers is 68, whereas the average age of…

Joe Scarborough goes on a 20-plus-minute rant. He defends Mika for having said of David Frum's comment about Pete Hegseth, “If you’re too drunk for Fox News, you’re very, very drunk indeed,” that it was "a little too flippant for the moment we're in." Frum wrote a column in response accusing Joe and Mika of being "fearful." Scarborough also defended the decision he and Mika made to travel to…

The incontrovertible top story of the day is Joe Biden's pardoning of his son Hunter, and the president having repeatedly lied in promising not to do so. But Joe Scarborough doesn't describe the pardon as even one of the day's two top stories.  Instead, he buries it 51 minutes into Morning Joe. And even when the show finally gets around to the subject, the gutless Scarborough doesn't express…

The media are offering wall-to-wall condemnations of President-elect Trump’s choice of Kash Patel to lead the FBI. From the NewsBusters’ archives, here’s a quick recap of how the media lost their minds the last time Trump canned one FBI director in favor of another.

Jon Stewart ripped Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for traveling to Mar-a-Lago to meet the man they called a fascist. "They spent the year going, ‘this man will destroy all that you hold dear, he is a Hitler-Mussolini cocktail mix and we must all stand.’ Literally one week later they’re like, ‘so we go and we have lunch, a light lunch.'"
