Mika said this a defense of her actions, but it reads almost as a parody. BUT "powerful leaders" told me this was good!!!

johnbrase.bsky.social•181 days ago

Note that Nicolle Wallace hasn’t felt the need to make a pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago. Nor Rachel Maddow. Nor David Muir. Nor Jake Tapper. Nor …

mindyfofindy.bsky.social•181 days ago

Right? It makes me wonder what the real reason is for their visit.

phillysnowflake.bsky.social•181 days ago

Funny, I don’t even miss them. They were just background noise, now they’re as abhorrent as their friend in Florida.

lacreid.bsky.social•181 days ago

Good. Capitulating to fascism has to come with financial and social consequences. I hope their friends snub them.

artsybinch.bsky.social•181 days ago

Play stupid games.
Win stupid prizes.
Do not obey in advance!

lucybelle47.bsky.social•181 days ago

I will NEVER watch either of these two 🤡’s again.

chicagobeersnob.bsky.social•181 days ago

MSNBC has been attempting to be FOX Lite.. instead of an alternative to the crazy, misinformation channel.

noticernoticing.bsky.social•181 days ago

Like dogs returning to their vomit.

jmacgillvary.bsky.social•181 days ago

😅

howdidwegethere.bsky.social•181 days ago

LOL if I wanted to watch neoliberals suck up to Trump I would have been watching Fox or Newsmax
But I don't, my tolerance for that sort of nonsense is far too low

sassycuz.bsky.social•181 days ago

Good!

richsanf.bsky.social•181 days ago

They were responsible for giving DJT a platform when everybody thought he was a joke. They thought a good laugh was good for ratings? Without them I wonder if Trump wins the nomination in 2016. Good example of the monetization of the Trump era where many are guilty.

nimodo24.bsky.social•181 days ago

They thought we forgot all the help and publicity the gave trump in 2016. Fck them all the way to hell.

dsg-rr17.bsky.social•181 days ago

I think "Spinco" will be an appropriate name for the new company when Comcast makes the split.
If they don't like the idea of the split from Comcast, I wonder if Jekyll & Hyde went down to Mar-a-Lardo as a way to audition for a spot on the Fox Propaganda Network.

Nobody wants diet fascism, you're either a fascist or anti-fascist 🤷

stlhandmaid.bsky.social•181 days ago

The whole show was excellent guests but Mika constantly holding Joe back from being even more of a dick. She was herding cats who didn’t respect her. I’m done with them. Kissing the ring was the last straw.

stlhandmaid.bsky.social•181 days ago

And I bet they lost more than 15% of their viewers. I think more are not watching but haven’t turned off their series recordings for the show yet.

ii-kman-ii.bsky.social•179 days ago

what a pathetic move - so disappointing

whitewitch108.bsky.social•181 days ago

FAFO. Love this for them 🤣🤣🤣

honeyvinegar.bsky.social•181 days ago

Does anyone know if @chrislhayes.bsky.social ever made a statement regarding Joe and Mika CAPITULATING and forgetting 9 years of right wing insanity?

Or has Chris Hayes remained Silent?

luna323.bsky.social•181 days ago

I stopped watching because they bent the knee.

irishlace.bsky.social•181 days ago

Oh? Darn.

freddy35.bsky.social•181 days ago

For some reason this election loss hit me hard and stopped watching news. I may watch again in a few months. If MSNBC goes away, there will be nothing but 1500 right wing terrestrial radio stations, 4 or 5 cable channels and no progressive TV. Sirius Progressive is a good outlet to listen to.

rlsnyder46211605.bsky.social•181 days ago

Please check out https://www.freespeech.org
Thom Hartmann, Stephanie Miller, Democracy Now w/Amy Goodman and many others.

callmedawnmichelle.bsky.social•181 days ago

I agree with you 100%. I just can’t put it on and listen to it. It’s all bullshit and it’s all manipulated.

shanzival.bsky.social•181 days ago

Oh no!

Anyways...

joshdobbin.bsky.social•181 days ago

I watched all the time, and trusted that folks like @anandwrites.bsky.social , Eddie Glaude, etc. were offering a kind of vouch-and-trust to hear more conservative, but nominally sane, voices and it was instructive to see that kind of take, even when I don't agree.

But this spineless move? Ewww

sojournert2.bsky.social•180 days ago

Good. Stop watching @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social ‼️ 👎🏼

shero369.bsky.social•180 days ago

Hey folks this one show does not represent the entirety of MSNBC. If we lose this channel there will be nothing that provides intelligent journalism and reporting that is critical of Trump

vodkaaunt67.bsky.social•181 days ago

Make things right, give that time slot to @stephaniemiller.bsky.social

kknntn.bsky.social•181 days ago

And Trump still has zero respect for them.

funkndonuts.bsky.social•181 days ago

why do you think they're cozying up to trump lol. their grift is changing directions

showmeapplepie.bsky.social•181 days ago

MSNBC wishes they had a different viewer base. Always have always will.

brettedwardstout.com•180 days ago

I haven’t watched. I’m not sure I want to anymore. 😠

halifaxrunner.bsky.social•181 days ago

Obeying in advance, not a good look.

shawnjohn.bsky.social•181 days ago

I would listen to them on Sirius radio occasionally but I simply removed that from my favorites list and stick to Progress. I just can't take them seriously at all anymore.

austidog.bsky.social•181 days ago

They both keep talking about all the power people they get calls of encouragement from. And that’s the problem. My mornings are so much better; my husband and cat agree.

rufusleebodean.bsky.social•181 days ago

I've literally never understood why they have this show. They're not interesting or particularly insightful.

josojohn.bsky.social•181 days ago

Fire Joe & Mika and promote Willie - keep the crew

jamoore100.bsky.social•181 days ago

Yep, total self-sabotage. They should have known better, especially Mika.

blacklabstwo.bsky.social•181 days ago

Only 15%? Joe’s a Newt Gingrich fanboy. What’d you expect.

jonisascandal.bsky.social•180 days ago

They literally dug their own grave. Funny how that timing worked out…

davidkc.bsky.social•181 days ago

Wow, there's that "echo chamber" comment again. Must be on some anti-left crib sheet. These same people have never described Fox News as an echo chamber, but when the left gets united on something then suddenly we're an echo chamber.

e-bmen.bsky.social•180 days ago

Joe likes to proclaim he's this devout Christian. We'll he's proven to be the progressives Juda.

e-bmen.bsky.social•180 days ago

Joe likes to proclaim he's this devout Christian. We'll he's proven he's really the progressives Judas.

liberalloudmouth.bsky.social•181 days ago

Now Elon is thinking about buying MSNBC and/or CNN.

Love your show, btw.

phuddydhuddy.bsky.social•181 days ago

Also, they gave Trump so much free airtime in 2015-16. They are just awful

phuddydhuddy.bsky.social•181 days ago

MSNBC doesn’t have any news reporters, they use NBC. I am guessing they will disappear in a year.

beingtherenow.bsky.social•179 days ago

I cannot for the life of me understand why they went to kiss the ring. I religiously watched morning Joe, but now I have difficulty in watching it at all. Stand for something a fall for anything. They also keep doubling down on their reason for doing so. They have not convinced me

maria-merkd.bsky.social•181 days ago

They don't have an audience and they still don't have Trump's approval. They only have tax breaks. Lol

dennyinpd.bsky.social•181 days ago

Have not turned on MSNBC since 11/5 ..

tgordon39.bsky.social•181 days ago

I never liked how Joe constantly interrupted and talked over Mika.

lisbonmile.bsky.social•181 days ago

Good. Boot them off.

eldryn.bsky.social•181 days ago

Did they have any measurable impact during the election anyway? Talking heads just don't move needles anymore, it's not the 2000s

mindyfofindy.bsky.social•181 days ago

Not surprising numbers. And did they expect that their audience would welcome their fealty to the orange one? These two are unbelieveably out of touch.

kccab.bsky.social•181 days ago

Couldn’t happen to more deserving sellouts

jeffpfromnj.bsky.social•181 days ago

Recovering MSNBC addict here. I they ceased to exist I would be totally OK with it.

janice327.bsky.social•168 days ago

Fuck them

buffaloquinn.bsky.social•181 days ago

If the ratings continue to go down the toilet, Morning Joe might have to broadcast from Trump's golden throne while his pants are around his ankles.

justjoe2024.bsky.social•181 days ago

Only 15% though? 🥴

william456.bsky.social•180 days ago

Actions have consequences. Let’s hope they get canned.

libroloverjen.bsky.social•181 days ago

I stopped before this. Their total lack of self-reflection about the media’s role in this mess after the election had me quitting them then.

monster-1098.bsky.social•181 days ago

Could it be because their viewers are tired of being played?

chris2829.bsky.social•181 days ago

The low information MSNBC viewers are enraged because they thought these grifters actually believed the things they said.🤣

paulsarjeant.bsky.social•181 days ago

I'm sorry... WHO are these people?

nancygoldstein.bsky.social•181 days ago

What IS this thing where the "left" is always convinced that they need to reach out to right-wing viewers? (As though they'd EVER drop NewsMax or Fox or whatever for MSNBC.) The New York Times labors under this misimpression too. All it does is alienate their core.
