The first half hour was a terrific take down of the Clinton campaign (and Dems in general - good analysis of how they lost Wisconsin). Now some stuff about the transition and coming up the electors and how all that works.

If you are awake I would turn it on this AM. Solid.

It is still so damn ridiculous that it's just given by the media and left that Putin is the one behind the Podesta hack.

There is no evidence of this. Just hysterical nonsense.

Key words that all media is using.

"Weaponizing"

"Well yeah we hack but they WEAPONIZED the info"

Again the "hacked the election process" without context. Podesta emails now constitute the whole electoral process. No votes or machines messed with.

The stupid republicans are so used to following the media cookie trail. The media rasies holy hell about Russia and the fools (McCain) feel the need for the media approval by following.

How depressed is Mika looking? Whenever they talk about how much the democrats or NYT sucks she puts on a pouty face and wants to read the news.

Morning Joe has been solid for months. Its easily my favorite political show on TV.

Joe has been calling out the democrats and HRC for the fact that they are completely oblivious to their own failures. Their lack of introspection is fricking stunning. He also calls out Trump when he acts like a retard. Sure, Mika and Joe both have their own biases, but they tend to call people out on both sides when they go full partisan hack.

You must not have watch much of it a month prior to the election. They were just as embarrassing with their diatribes as CNN was.

First time I have slept past 4am in many months - and I really wanted to watch MJ this morning.

I DVR it every day. I must see how pouty Mika is to start my day. Every now and then she'll wear a see through shirt and I'll just veg out and stare at her tittays.

bullshite.

Scarborough was being accused of being a Trump shill in november

quote:

JOE SCARBOROUGH (CO-HOST): And people freaked out. Arizona. A state where everybody was saying last week, "Oh there's no which he can win because he's even losing in Arizona." Wait, no, he's not. Donald Trump up five points in Arizona right now. 49 to 44. Now, in case you have a short attention span, right? In case you're like that dude in Memento and you need to take a Polaroid every five seconds to figure out where you are, take a Polaroid right now and write these words on your wrist. Joe's not saying [Trump winning] is going to happen. Joe's saying it might happen. It could happen. Along with Nate Silver, I think there's a 35% chance that it will happen. Have you taken the Polaroid yet? Have you put it right here? Cause I don't want you to think three minutes from now that anybody here is rooting for Donald Trump because we're not. Let me finish this exercise. Because this is impossible. This will never happen. God, you people. You need to do your job and be journalists. You're really disgusting.

Joe pretty much gets criticism from both sides which, in my opinion, means hes probably doing it right.

ETA: To be fair, Joe talks a lot of shite and plays it pretty loose, but he fricking hates the Clintons so to paint him as an HRC shill ala CNN is pretty dumb.

Yep. Usually within the first 15 minutes of the show, it takes that long for her to get in a word edgewise, tells me what kind of mission she is on for the day.

Not true at all.

I have watched MJ for a couple of years now - they talk politics while FNC talks recipes.

Of course they trended liberal, but not as much as you folks have described. FNC became unwatchable during the latter stages of the primaries and the election - that is for anyone who wasn't lining up to slobber on Trump's knob.

That imo is the key to ones perception of Morning Joe. For hardcore Trumpkins you're a liberal shill unless you're taking all of Trumps shaft AND the whole sack into your throat.

I'd agree with you there but they were on a Trump bashing roll leading up to the election. Their fairest assessment of Trump was during the very early stages of the campaign. Remember when they got their hands slapped after the picture of Joe and Mika came out showing them visiting Trump? Their narrative changed pretty quick.

They added Jeremy Peters from the failing NYT and he has brought a voice of reason to the show. Mike Barnacle and Mark Halperin seem to have resigned themselves to conducting actual political analysis instead of blatant hackery and partisanship.

Peters is actually very reasonable and even keel, something the show missed sorely through the last eight months.

Still, I prefer Maria in The Morning.
