Morning Joe

Has the pandemic caused the liberal media to lose whatever vestigial grip on reality it ever had? The question arises in light of a surreal conversation on today's Morning Joe between Mika Brzezinski and Eugene Robinson. The pair were discussing Robinson's latest Washington Post column, the gist of which is that Democrat campaign tactics are too nice, being based on "reason and fairness." 

On Thursday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe eagerly touted the latest article from New York Times opinion writer at large Charlie Warzel, in which he warned that “America is Paying A Heavy Price for Freedom” amid the coronavirus pandemic. He compared those protesting against strict stay-at-home orders with gun rights supporters and accused them all of having “a very selfish, a very narrow definition of what…

On Morning Joe, while facetiously claiming not to be a "repeater," Joe Scarborough continues the shtick he's been doing for weeks of endlessly quoting and requoting President Trump's optimistic statements about the epidemic from back in January and February. Even Mika Brzezinski seems clearly to have tired of Joe's act. 

MSNBC commentator Anand Giridharadas attacked Americans’ obsession with freedom on Wednesday’s edition of Morning Joe, suggesting it blinded them to issues like the virus and “climate change.” Co-anchor Willie Geist asked: “What do we learn from this?” Giridharadas complained that “[t]here is a primordial American tradition going back to the founders of being freedom-obsessed — even though we’re…

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski drool over, and quote  at great length, S.E. Cupp's column in the New York Daily News, the gist of which is that President Trump is mentally "very sick," and should be removed from office via the 25th Amendment if only that were politically possible. 

On today's Morning Joe, Donny Deutsch called President Trump a "cornered animal" and warned he will do "really, really, really bizarre things." He claimed he was "boxed in" with no escape route. How many times have they said this kind of thing? "The walls are closing in!"

In a transparent ploy to shift the focus from a doddering Joe Biden now beset with a serious allegation of sexual assault, Joe Scarborough did his best today to suggest that President Trump was not mentally "well," should "get checked out, take a rest," and "let Mike Pence run things."

On Friday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe conducted the first exclusive interview with presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden about the sexual assault allegations leveled against him by former Senate staffer Tara Reade. The exchange became quite contentious as co-host Mika Brzezinski repeatedly called out Biden’s hypocrisy and demanded that more records from his Senate career be released to thoroughly…

Turn out the lights, the election's over, and Trump has lost! So says Joe Scarborough on Morning Joe. He repeatedly rips as "idiots" Republicans who favor a faster re-opening of the country, and ultimately says: "These conserv -- not conservatives, they're idiots. These Trumpists who think that they're finding a way forward politically by attacking stay-at-home orders, they're the 10%, they're…

On Morning Joe, Jon Meacham says that when it comes to testing for the coronavirus, President Trump is "failing to do what my Springer Spaniels know we should do." Joe Scarborough says that he and Willie Geist "can confirm that."

Stung by criticism of their on-air TDS meltdowns, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski lash out at the conservative media, calling them "despicable, disgusting" Trump "pawns" who are betraying the legacy of William F. Buckley and Ronald Reagan.

Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski went on an unhinged, emotional rant about Fox News on Friday, decrying the network as full of “puppets” who need to rediscover the “goodness” and “objectivity” inside them. Yes, someone on MSNBC said this. Apparently angry because Sean Hannity mocked Joe Scarborough on Thursday night, Brzezinski fumed: 

On Wednesday's Morning Joe on MSNBC, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist spent more than five minutes ranting about President Donald Trump correctly stating that the U.S. has tested more people for COVID-19 than any other country in the world. Scarborough and Geist went so far as to wrongly insist that the per capita testing rate in the U.S. is "far, far behind other countries,"…
