Morning Joe

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…

With Pete Hegseth's nomination as Secretary of Defense reportedly in trouble, CNN This Morning boosted Ron DeSantis for the position.  Meanwhile, over on Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough & Co. had great fun mocking Lindsey Graham. They depicted Graham as a Johnny-come-lately to the group of Senators expressing serious reservations about Hegseth's nomination. He was a "lagging indicator."

On Monday's Morning Joe, MSNBC co-host Joe Scarborough proclaimed that "the only reason" that Republicans will have a majority in the House of Representatives is because North Carolina Republicans "rigged" the state's congressional districts to take three seats from Democrats. The MSNBC host did not mention that there are plenty of states (California, for example) where Republicans…

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…

In a fear-mongering Morning Joe segment on Trump's proposed tariffs, reporter Hallie Jackson literally points the finger, warning that companies would often pass tariffs down to "you," the consumer. No word of to whom companies would have passed the huge corporate tax increase that Kamala Harris proposed. 

The Bulwark’s managing editor, Sam Stein, joined MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Tuesday to claim that it is possible that the incoming Trump Administration will arrest people “simply because they disagree with” it. However, a closer look at Stein's main example would suggest that he was simply being hysterical.

Sebastian Stan went from an MCU darling to serious actor in one awards season. But after playing Donald Trump in the movie "The Apprentice," Variety found "other actors didn’t want to pair with him because they didn’t want to talk about Donald Trump."

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough admits that voters cared more about the price of gasoline and groceries than his warnings about "fascism" or Mika's concerns over abortion rights. 

Of the television commentators who routinely disparaged, attacked, demeaned, and mocked former President Donald Trump and his supporters, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, co-hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” belong to the “A” team. Yet, after Trump’s extraordinary victory two weeks ago, including a sweep of all seven swing states and becoming the first Republican presidential candidate to…

In what we learned shortly thereafter was a selfish ploy to save their own behinds from possible scrutiny by a second Trump administration come January 20, the visit to Mar-a-Lago by MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-hosts and married couple Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski to see President-Elect Trump has contributed to the Swamp insider-y show’s ratings cratering like it was hit by one of…

On Morning Joe, MSNBC Republican Elise Jordan says the issue with Matt Gaetz is not his morality per se, but whether his morality makes him—someone who would control the nation's top secrets—"compromised" as a "sex addict and drug addict."

Vanity Fair special correspondent Molly Jong-Fast joined Wednesday’s edition of Morning Joe on MSNBC and offered up a rather confusing definition for the word “differently.” Echoing her latest article on the same subject, Jong-Fast told the table that the media needs to cover Donald Trump differently this time, which means the media should focus more on “democracy, democratic…

When last week Mika Brzezinski said that she and Joe Scarborough would like to have a face-to-face meeting with Trump, I wrote: "As for scoring an interview with Trump himself any time soon, don't bet the rent money at Polymarkets on it, Mika!" Oy, was I wrong! On today's Morning Joe, Mika announced that this past Friday, she and Joe did indeed meet with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
