From 'Pope' to 'Nazi': Morning Joe's Love-Hate Relationship with Trump
The vicissitudes of election coverage over the past year have made one thing certain: Morning Joe has been on an emotional rollercoaster with Republican nominee Donald Trump.

In the Wake of Tragedy, MSNBC Praises Clinton for ‘Finding Her Voice’
On Wednesday, the Morning Joe crew provided viewers with their daily dose of Hillary Clinton propagandizing.

Thanks to MSNBC, we are reminded that through it all,…

MSNBC Mocks Reagan on Assault Rifles: ‘Non-Conservative’ Commie
Tuesday on Morning Joe, the gun control conversation continued in the wake of terrorism in Orlando.

Rather, they targeted Ronald Reagan. Unsurprisingly, MSNBC hosts saw this as an opportunity to joke about the…

MSNBC Accuses GOP Leaders of ‘Breathing Life into ISIS’
On Monday, the bulk of Morning Joe was spent discussing the abhorrent terrorist attacks in Orlando over the weekend.

MSNBC to Trump: You Better Hammer Clinton, Because We Won’t
On Friday, Morning Joe viewers got a dose of MSNBC’s finest hypocrisy. Consider this: Brzezinski and Scarborough are the pot, and Trump is the kettle. The hosts berated Donald Trump for not attacking Clinton over the recent State Department Inspector General’s Report and May’s dismal jobs report, yet as per usual they side-stepped the very same issues. Instead, they continued to harp on his…

Halperin: 'Only Way A Republican' Wins Is If 'The Press Favors Them'
MSNBC's Mark Halperin trumpeted the apparent power of the media on Monday's Morning Joe during a discussion about Donald Trump attacking the morning show: "The only way a Republican can win for president, I believe, is if the press favors them in coverage."

MSNBC's Scarborough Spars With Rob Reiner Over Trump's 'Racist' Base
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough faced off with Rob Reiner on Thursday's Morning Joe, after the liberal Hollywood producer/writer explained Donald Trump's base of support by underlining that "there are a lot of people who are racist in this country."

Scarborough: 'I'll Never Vote' for Trump If Muslim Ban Maintained
Of everyone in the MSM, Joe Scarborough has been widely seen as the most ardent Trump supporter--starting from the day Donald descended that escalator with Melania. Scarborough would argue he was merely offering dispassionate political analysis--saying that Trump's chances should be taken seriously while others were disdainfully dismissing him. But for those of us who watched Joe day in and day…

For Confronting Critic, Morning Joe Creams Cruz, Hails Hillary
One of our media bias categories at NewsBusters is Double Standards. There was a classic example of the phenomenon on today's Morning Joe. The show's running theme was relentless mockery and ridicule of Ted Cruz for crossing the street yesterday to calmly debate a group of Trump supporters.
But later in the show, when a clip was run of Hillary being confronted by a West Virginian over her boast…
