Joe Scarborough

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough made a fool out of himself on Sunday (he wasn’t even on his show) after tweeting an image of The New York Times Sunday Review front page comparing the fall of Kabul to the fall of Saigon. The self-righteous blowhard lectured the paper about how the obviously similar situations were nothing alike. The kicker? The author of the article was a Vietnamese-…

On Morning Joe, Washington Post columnist Max Boot says that Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo "just need to find a good opportunity right now to just shut up and stop criticizing" Biden's mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal. Boot argues that it was Trump and Pompeo who originally set the withdrawal in motion, and are now in no position to criticize what Boot admits is Biden's "very…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough scoffs at the claim by Biden's State Department spokesman who said of Afghanistan that "this is not abandonment. This is not an evacuation. This is not the wholesale withdrawal." That's "exactly what it is," retorts Scarborough. And retired Navy Admiral and Supreme Allied Commander Europe James Stavridis says calls the abrupt Biden withdrawal a "very dark moment…

One of the regular tropes of liberal cable news in recent weeks is applauding how Big Tech is censoring any politicians or other leaders who are spreading misinformation about the coronavirus. They cheer when Sen. Rand Paul gets blocked by YouTube, for example, for questioning the effectiveness of masks. But these same liberal cable networks are spewing wild misinformation about the…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says parents who send their children to school without wearing masks because they believe "Jesus" will protect them are members of a "death cult."

After prolonged exposure to Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski has come down with a bad case of the Scarborough sickness: that of endlessly repeating a phrase. We've seen multiple flare-ups of poor Joe's affliction. With Joe away,  Mika jumped on his repetition hobby horse on today's Morning Joe. Her phrase: "death cult." In the opening segment, she used "death cult" no fewer than eight times to…

Was Joe Scarborough ever a good ol' Southern boy, as he still likes to portray himself? In any case, that persona has definitively disappeared. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough exposed himself as the worst kind of condescending Upper West Side snob. The show devoted much of its opening segment to attacking Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over his Covid stance. At one point, after playing a…

When it came to coverage of the Andrew Cuomo sexual-harrassment scandal, it was a tale of two networks this morning. MSNBC's Morning Joe devoted its entire first half-hour to covering the story in all its lurid detail. And CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, who advised brother Andrew during the scandal, was referenced no fewer than nine times. Meanwhile, over on CNN's New Day, the Cuomo segment was…

With Joe Scarborough leading the charge, Morning Joe absolutely tore into the New York teachers union today for its rejection of a vaccine mandate for teachers. Scarborough called the union's position "ridiculous," and accused the unions of "whining" for months that they couldn't return to classrooms until there was a vaccine, but now that vaccines are available, rejecting the mandate.

On Friday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe kept pushing left-wing hysteria about Republican voting reform laws in states across the country and cheering on the scheme by Democrats to have the federal government take over elections nationwide. One pundit even went so far as to vilely compare legislation by GOP lawmakers in various states to the brutal 1955 murder of black teenager Emmett Till.  …

Morning Joe has a history of trashing Mitch McConnell, with Joe Scarborough having slimed him as "Moscow Mitch," and even more disgustingly, as "Chokehold Mitch."  But on today's show, Morning Joe went out of its way to praise the once [and future?] Senate Majority Leader for his advocacy of Covid vaccinations. In doing so, Morning Joe acknowledged that hearing praise of McConnell might be…

It's not often that the left-wing media openly admit Democrats are on the losing side of an issue. That’s why we here at NewsBusters are always happy to report on it when it happens. During a segment on Morning Joe, MSNBC’s political analyst Elise Jordan exposed viewers to a rare moment of honesty, not something that viewers of the leftist cable channel are accustomed to seeing.

When it comes to crime, liberals prefer to talk about guns rather than criminals. Morning Joe gave two examples of that today, first playing a clip of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo bragging about being the first to declare something called a "gun violence disaster emergency." It actually seems little more than a PR stunt, with the only measure mentioned being enhanced crime-reporting requirements…

After embarrassing host Joy Reid on her show recently, independent journalist and City Journal editor Christopher Rufo appeared on Morning Joe today to put Reid’s fellow MSNBC peers to shame on the controversial topic. Rufo went head-to-head with MSNBC contributor and Princeton professor Eddie Glaude, who unsurprisingly, became angry and frustrated when even co-host Joe Scarborough…
