Morning Joe

On Friday's Morning Joe, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough lauded The New Yorker editor David Remnick for an article he published excoriating Donald Trump supporters immediately after the former President's election in 2016. The frequent MSNBC guest then compared the 1/6 Capitol riots to "climate change" allegedly leading to natural disasters after decades of the U.S. not taking the…

It was bound to be a nauseating day for anyone who turned on CNN or MSNBC Thursday during their voluminous coverage for the first anniversary of the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and, according to a NewsBusters tallying of their live programming (20 hours on CNN and 19 hours on MSNBC), they didn’t disappoint. All told, the two far-left channels spent 1,653 minutes marking the occasion and…

The opening segment of the December 23 Morning Joe was one — interminable — tongue bath for Joe Biden. On everything from the omicron variant to the supply chain, to inflation, the panel lavished praise on Ol' Saint Joe. The praise reached its absurd apotheosis with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski twice -- joking-not-joking -- speaking of a "Christmas miracle." Scarborough ended…

Suddenly so forgiving, that Joe Scarborough! On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough admitted that last week, he felt the Biden administration had "terribly botched" things regarding Covid testing. But on second thought . . . nope! Don't blame Biden for botching the availability of testing. Because . . . testing isn't necessary! Opined "Doctor" Scarborough: "You don’t need a test! We have just…

Morning Joe was in no mood today to give Donald Trump credit for his vigorous advocacy of the COVID vaccine during an interview with Candace Owens. Nope: it was just a nefarious ploy, with an eye to 2024, to win back the suburbs.

On Morning Joe, Scarborough expresses understanding of the Democrats' anger at Manchin, but warns them that they are pushing him into the arms of the GOP. He cites the precedent of Jumpin' Jim Jeffords, who left the GOP and joined the Democrats over his disputes with Pres. George W. Bush, thereby handing the Democrats the Senate majority.

Joe Scarborough was back on his anti-social-media hobbyhorse again on today's Morning Joe. He and the panel were reacting to items in the news: the testimony of Instagram's CEO yesterday before a Senate committee, and an advisory from the Surgeon General warning about a mental health crisis among young people. Scarborough's solution was to hold social media companies like Instagram liable for…

On Morning Joe, Washington Post editor/columnist says of a potential invasion of Ukraine ordered by Putin: "He's also going to face a guerrilla warfare, extended partisan warfare in Ukraine. There -- I counted 400,000 people who've received some kind of militia training. There are a million guns floating around Ukraine. I mean, it's a place where it’d be hard to subdue the population…

CNN was finally forced to fire Chris Cuomo over the extensive assistance the prime-time host provided to brother Andrew regarding his various scandals. So you might think that "The Most Trusted Name in News" would be on high alert to avoid any similar journalistic malpractice by its anchors. But incredibly, as our Nicholas Fondacaro has reported, CNN permitted Don Lemon on his show last night…

In the aftermath of Democratic Senator Chris Murphy putting on the spectacle of accusing Republicans of hypocrisy in response to the school shooting in Michigan, several MSNBC hosts seized on the speech and used it to peddle anti-gun misinformation. In primetime, Chris Hayes and Joy Reid even had the Connecticut Senator on as a guest.

How total is Michael Steele's transformation from RNC chairman to Democrat sycophant? On today's Morning Joe, Steele, an MSNBC analyst and member of the disgraced Lincoln Project, slurred Republican judicial appointees while expressing his preference for Democrat nominees.

Singling out Josh Hawley and Mark Meadows by name, on Morning Joe Joe Scarborough accuses Republicans of having their "testicle" in a Donald Trump lockbox.

On Morning Joe, self-described "conservative" Joe Scarborough makes the case against overturning Roe v. Wade, in the context of the Supreme Court's handling of the Mississippi case regarding its law limiting abortions.  Scarborough repeatedly cites opinion polls showing support for Roe. He also mentions the Court must remember that this is a constitutional republic. He also derides…

When Donald Trump was president, Joe Scarborough ceaselessly mocked him for his overly-optimistic predictions at the beginning of the pandemic as to when Covid would be gone. Among other things, Scarborough endlessly repeated Trump's erroneous forecast that Covid would be gone "by April." Scarborough's repetitions of those lines became such a running joke on Morning Joe, that the show devoted…
