1. I did. I have never seen an entire show, and I NEVER watch MSNBC till afternoon.
I have enough angst without having idiots in my living room in the morning. I try my best to never watch any republicans or right wing figures at all...What am I going to learn from them? Why do I want to even see or hear them?

Thank you for your message. Rec.

5. Extraordinarily bad this a.m. I think one of the reasons is Whitman's
Edited on Wed Oct-13-10 07:21 AM by monmouth
very poor performance, the rise of Dem numbers and their frustration is building. I went to CNN instead. Joe and Mika don't make much difference when you have Barnacle, Buchanan, Chuck Todd, etc. on. The C of C thing is starting to implode and their meme is falling apart. Very poor and annoying show this morning.

these people who watch Cable "news" and listen to hate radio hour after hour, day after day, and then complain about it, are the real morans.

7. K&R, The only episode watched for entirety was one in which "Joe" was gone.
Mika was good and the others didn't interrupt.

I've even sunk so low as to watch Faux over Morning Joe, just to get their side of "spin" and get pissed. LOL.

I, too, wish everyone would stop watching.

16. I stopped watching too. Joe is a big blow heart. Mika is his lap girl. I can't stand her anymore.

A blowhard and a meek little mouse. What a team!

19. Here is what I do: I look at their roster of guests. I cherry pick the ones I want to see and
mute or turn off the program when an idiot is on or when it's just Joe mouthing off.

Yesterday I watched a very interesting segment with Robert Reich. I have enjoyed hearing from Howard Dean, Elizabeth Warren, Gene Robinson, Joan Walsh (when she's in town), and liberal members of Congress and the Administration.

If you use some discretion and are thoughtful about it, you can find very worthwhile stuff from progressives who THINK...and turning off the idiots is really easy...

And he stands up to Joe.

30. Love Jonathan! He's smart and he's funny...did you see him talking with Jon Meacham
the other day, comparing Pulitzer Prizes...Capehart said he got a certificate and Meacham said he got a paperweight. Capehart looked disappointed...he said "Oh, well, you wrote a book, I guess that's why..." It wasn't unkind of Meacham, just a bit funny hearing the exchange!

BTW, I do like Meacham. His big thing is a Liberal Arts education and that's moi!

35. That sounds like it would work.
I find Joe and Mika themselves to be annoying, but you're right, a proper guest can be as good on that show as anywhere else.

20. Stopped in 2008 When in Joe's eyes
McCain could do no wrong and Obama could do no right. Altho I do admit sneaking a look the day after the election to see the reaction to Obama's election win :-)

23. Don't need to tell me
I can't believe how many DU'ers watch this drivel and then post here about how pissed off it made them.

Who needs that first thing in the morning? Just turn the fucking thing off.

Wake up your significant other and do something more enjoyable. Or just masturbate. At least it will drive Christine O'Donnell nuts.

I will say this. As bad as that show sounds, I can't believe it's any worse than the corpse in the cowboy hat that it replaced.

31. The difference between MSNBC morning programming and evening programming
is like the difference between night and day..........er, uh, you know what I mean.

Morning Joe is the MSNBC version of Fox & Friends!
