Joe Scarborough

There was a very surprising twist in the dicussion of the Breonna Taylor case on today's Morning Joe. It started in predictable fashion. "Civil rights lawyer" Maya Wiley said:  "The problem that we have here is that the system is working the way it’s designed to work. Which puts black people, which puts Latinos, which puts Native Americans at very high risk of being killed."…

Somebody call the SPCA: Joe Scarborough has yet again ridden a hobbyhorse into the ground! Regular readers of NewsBusters are only too familiar with Scarborough's tiresome habit of fixating on a word, and…

Willie Geist and Joe Scarborough, co-anchors of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, were delighted Friday morning when they had the pleasure of covering Thursday night’s CNN presidential town hall drive-in event in Moosic, Pennsylvania, in which Democratic nominee Joe Biden was treated to one gushing softball after another. Scarborough and Geist made sure to fulfill their role as Biden 2020 cheerleaders.

On Morning Joe, Adrian Wooldridge, a columnist at The Economist, says that unlike the US, China passes the "good government" test. He makes his comment in the context of discussing the way various countries have dealt with the coronavirus pandemic, but offers no qualifier as to his "good government" praise of China. To the contrary, he says that the advantage of good government is…

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski quotes from her hubby's latest Washington Post column in which he wrote that "many working-class Americans have been voting against their own economic interests for so long," by which he meant, voting for Republicans. That is a notion popularized in the book What's the Matter with Kansas? by leftist author Thomas…

"Donald Trump says he didn't want Americans to panic. No, he just wanted to sit by and watch them die." 

On Morning Joe, Al Sharpton expresses opposition to defunding the New York City police, saying it's something for "latte liberals" in the Hamptons. Joe Scarborough grudgingly admits things were safer in NYC under Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Willie Geist says he still feels safe in NYC, and that crime statistics are not up -- except for "shootings and murder."

On Morning Joe, a hate-fueled Joe Scarborough slams First Lady Melania Trump as "shameless, absolutely shameless" for having criticized, in her speech at the second night of the RNC convention, people who are mean on social media, while she did not criticize President Trump's past tweets about Mika and Joe.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough calls the speakers at the opening night of the RNC convention "cranks and misfits." On CNN's New Day, a Yahoo News "reporter" calls Joe Biden and Kamala Harris "super-centrist."

Gag me with a Shining City! On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough slobbers over Joe Biden's acceptance speech at the DNC convention, repeatedly referring to it as "Reaganesque" as he hyped the "corruption" under Trump as demonstrated by the indictment of Steve Bannon on the cusp of Biden's speech. 

The mainstream media is a walking contradiction. Their bias aside, they will say one thing yet act in a completely different way, even live on air during the same program. Morning Joe displayed this tendency to flip-flop during the Wednesday segment, talking about Joe Biden’s VP pick of Kamala Harris. Co-host Joe Scarborough brings on Al "Tawana Brawley" Sharpton and sets him up to fawn over…

The Left hates any limits on illegal immigration. But on Monday's Morning Joe, they took this argument to a new level. Jean Guerrero, who reports on the border for KPBS in San Diego, has a new book out called Hate Monger about Trump aide Stephen Miller, and she insisted Trump "wants to be seen as a killer and Stephen Miller shares his instincts for violence."

Nobody would blame you for pondering this over the last few years, but especially as of late: Where’s the pressure on Democrats to do anything? Day in and day out, it seems as though all the media want to do is shame Republicans into accepting their demands, no matter the issue or the rhetoric they end up resorting to.  

On Morning Joe, Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post and MSNBC, commenting on the fact that Canada and the Bahamas, because of the coronavirus, are not permitting US residents to enter, says, "we are pariahs. We are, we are the s-hole country that nobody wants people from. That's us now."
