Morning Joe

In a fear-mongering Morning Joe segment on Trump's proposed tariffs, reporter Hallie Jackson literally points the finger, warning that companies would often pass tariffs down to "you," the consumer. No word of to whom companies would have passed the huge corporate tax increase that Kamala Harris proposed. 

The Bulwark’s managing editor, Sam Stein, joined MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Tuesday to claim that it is possible that the incoming Trump Administration will arrest people “simply because they disagree with” it. However, a closer look at Stein's main example would suggest that he was simply being hysterical.

Of the television commentators who routinely disparaged, attacked, demeaned, and mocked former President Donald Trump and his supporters, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, co-hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” belong to the “A” team. Yet, after Trump’s extraordinary victory two weeks ago, including a sweep of all seven swing states and becoming the first Republican presidential candidate to…

In what we learned shortly thereafter was a selfish ploy to save their own behinds from possible scrutiny by a second Trump administration come January 20, the visit to Mar-a-Lago by MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-hosts and married couple Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski to see President-Elect Trump has contributed to the Swamp insider-y show’s ratings cratering like it was hit by one of…

On Morning Joe, MSNBC Republican Elise Jordan says the issue with Matt Gaetz is not his morality per se, but whether his morality makes him—someone who would control the nation's top secrets—"compromised" as a "sex addict and drug addict."

Vanity Fair special correspondent Molly Jong-Fast joined Wednesday’s edition of Morning Joe on MSNBC and offered up a rather confusing definition for the word “differently.” Echoing her latest article on the same subject, Jong-Fast told the table that the media needs to cover Donald Trump differently this time, which means the media should focus more on “democracy, democratic…

When last week Mika Brzezinski said that she and Joe Scarborough would like to have a face-to-face meeting with Trump, I wrote: "As for scoring an interview with Trump himself any time soon, don't bet the rent money at Polymarkets on it, Mika!" Oy, was I wrong! On today's Morning Joe, Mika announced that this past Friday, she and Joe did indeed meet with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. 

Last week, America took an IQ test -- and passed. “President Biden, when he came into office, said that he would be the most progressive president since FDR, and I think on domestic issues ... he has kept his word.” -- Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Nov. 10, 2024. Indeed, Sen. Sanders, that is why Vice President Kamala Harris, who said she would have done “nothing” differently, lost the election…

Morning Joe notes the compliments it has received, including from Trump supporters, on the "calm and measured" way it reported Trump's win, and Mika Brzezinski says "we will continue our best efforts to be fair and objective in reporting on the incoming administration." She adds that the show will "of course" invite members of the Trump administration on the show, and would like to have a face…

Attempting to undercut Trump's nomination of Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary, Morning Joe misled on the key issue of the physical fitness of female soldiers.

There are women in…

On Monday's Morning Joe, New Republic editor Michael Tomasky, as per his current New Republic column, said that the "real reason" for Kamala Harris' defeat is that the right-wing media is more influential than the liberal media! No doubt the conservative media is considerably stronger and more prevalent than it was in the pre-National Review days. But more…

Appearing as a guest on the Election Day edition of Morning Joe, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough joined contributor Michael Beschloss in fretting that a Donald Trump win would result in less freedom of speech.
