Mike Barnicle

If you tuned into CNN and/or MSNBC on Thursday morning, the message was clear based on their coverage of supposed “anger” at congressional Republicans over the Trump agenda and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and hits from the left at Democratic town halls: Blue wave incoming! Nevermind these protests at GOP town halls — including one Wednesday night they were warm and…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough accuses Donald Trump of using the death of a boy in Springfield, Ohio as a "political prop." The boy was killed when a Haitian migrant, who did not have a driver's license, slammed into the boy's school bus. But Scarborough insists on keeping onscreen a front-page, 5,300-word New York Times article about it that is harshly critical of Trump. Scarborough then…

Retired Gen. H.R. McMaster is out with a new book detailing his time as former President Donald Trump’s national security advisor, and while the book is not by any means an ode to Trump, it is also not the typical anti-Trump book that MSNBC’s Morning Joe has become accustomed to. On Tuesday’s show, the assembled cast admitted after their interview with McMaster that this “surprised"…

On Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle predicts that Kamala Harris will finish Trump off in their debate. She's "a very sophisticated, very intelligent woman, and she hammers him like a prosecutor and doesn't let him off the hook, he will go -- I can't say it -- But something will snap in him and that will be it."  

On Morning Joe, after Mike Barnicle slobbers over the Walz VP announcement rally, Jonathan Lemire enthuses over Tim Walz's line, "mind your own damn business." Democrats the new libertarians? Hardly! They're the party that  wants to control countless facets of people's lives.  

Any day now, we’ll learn who Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen as her 2024 running mate. But there’s no suspense about how the media will react, since liberal journalists have consistently praised and promoted every Democratic vice presidential nominee since the early 1990s.

Eugene Robinson agrees with Mike Barnicle that Trump is "deeply damaged," adding that he is "dangerous," "not a well man," and has "some deep insecurity and feeling of inadequacy."

Calling Donald Trump racist and sexist is getting rather shopworn. Needing some fresh material, Morning Joe broke out a new attack line on Trump today, calling him "a badly-damaged, deeply-damaged man." Mike Barnicle was the first to float the new line, saying: "What we saw yesterday is just another exhibit of a badly damaged man on stage." Charlie Sykes echoed "deeply damaged,"…

The following are just few of the worst instances (via the MRC’s archive) of the Morning Joe cast and crew attacking “Hitler” Trump and his supporters as a bunch of “fascists” who will “end” democracy.

It was inevitable that with the 80th anniversary commemorations of the D-Day landings in France, MSNBC’s Morning Joe would politicize possibly the last major anniversary with living veterans by attacking Republicans. Sure enough, co-host Mika Brzezinski did precisely that on Thursday, as she demanded, “with respect,” that party leaders “open their hearts to the concept of democracy…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough stages a counterattack on a Wall Street Journal article suggesting that Pres. Biden "shows signs of slipping." Scarborough claims that Biden is "light years ahead" of other leaders on foreign policy, ignoring the fact that Biden in just the past months claimed to have spoken with two foreign leaders who had been dead for years. 

On MSNBC's Way Too Early, Mike Barnicle advises Biden that to "change the narrative" on the border, and "negate Republican strength" on the issue, he should go to the border and "sign something," and give more personnel to the Border Patrol.

It was too good to be true -- and sure enough, it wasn't. Joe Scarborough began a segment about illegal immigrants being released the day after they viciously beat two NYC cops by calling the outraged reaction a "bipartisan issue." But Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski couldn't resist turning the "bipartisan" issue into a highly partisan one, by blaming--you guessed it--Donald Trump.

Morning Joe mocks Republican Rep. James Comer, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, as "Dumb-Moves Comer." This, despite the show having rolled a clip of Comer denouncing as a "dumb move" the decision of eight Republican Congressmen to remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker, and block his replacement by Steve Scalise.
