I haven't watched the news since election night, because they aren't reading the room. Their audience are Democrats, & we're suffering from Trump fatigue. It feels like an assault to the soul to see, or hear him. I can't tolerate a nanosecond of news about him, & that's all they'll talk about.
What POS couple.
I wonder how Rachel Maddows & Lawrence feel about this.
I hope they come out guns blazing despite whatever their bosses demand.
That may keep me on MSNBC, if not, I'll definitely be un-subscribing.
Screw you Mika and Joe…I wouldn’t give the time of day to a man who falsely accused me of murder…bye bye MSNBC…no more CNN either as long as Scott Jennings is on there.
How do they not realize this will not gain them any new viewers, but instead lose existing ones?
Is Corporate so fearful of being shut out or targeted by this administration that they were willing to just say "the hell with our standards" and make their hosts crawl and beg for scraps?
Will Willie Geist ever receive his freedom?
I try decode his eye blinks. The other day I recognized “Joe touches me with hot … xiotop.”
I think he felt a sneeze coming on.
Yep. I had watched them every morning, taped it, and then listened on SiriusXM on my way to work. So, needless to say, I was one step removed from being a stalker! No more. I had forgiven Joe for cutting in line for coffee at Handlebar Cafe in Nantucket, but this is unforgivable.
Cannot continue to watch this show. Four hours of news that is really one hour and repeated several times. Then there is the caving to the Orange Stain. Have a spine, that is why I watched in the past.
They need to drive off in the sunset. I was a loyal viewer. No more. Maybe Newsmax will hire them. Do you think they realize how they just alienated the majority of their viewers
Yep - Trump abhors weakness. They just set themselves up for ridicule from both sides of the political spectrum. Feels like the beginning of the end for @morning_joe.
They are scared about Trump and company coming after them. So they try to kiss the ring to keep the hounds from attacking them. Wait till they realize Trump is still going to send the hounds after them. Just grow a backbone Joe and speak truth to his BS to his face.
Huge misstep by Joe and Mika. What the heck were they thinking? Trump will now totally use their visit against them and say that they came graveling back and laugh at them.
Normalizing Trump and his threats against the media is simply cowardice by Morning Joe and a betrayal of the 1st amendment. Never relinquish your rights.
They're cowards at a time when our nation needs people with spines.
I stopped watching msnbc at the election and won't again ever. Hearing about these two makes it even more easy to shun the media. People like this are in part why we have t to begin with. Despicable.
Think of how self important they were. Discussing this with one another in their home. "Should we? Shouldn't we? We must try to seem benevolent and open minded. As if it's best for the country. Our viewers must see how good and peaceful we are" what a crock of 💩. Disgusting
Most people would agree that certain MSNBC presenters in the hours before 4 PM EST toe the party line. Which means they either engage in both sides-isms, or they seemingly want to appeal to the marginal viewers who still think MAGA and Trumpism is merely wild and kooky entertainment.
@channel-orange.bsky.social When Joe started he was a Trump supporter, gave Trump a platform continually. He slowly revised his stance once he sensed being pro Trump hurt ratings. He's a GA GOP at heart & is disrespectful to Mika. He's a narcissist like Trump. Says what he needs to to stay relevant.
I’ve been disgusted by his bullying blowhard schtick for years. I’m actually glad he blew up his rep this week.
Viewers finally seeing what he’s about.
I just wish a Mika had walked away while she still had any cred left.
I stand corrected. He was born in Atlanta, GA. I should have read a little further....but it all tracks.
I never trusted nor liked Joe Scarborough. He's always been skeezy to me.
ETTTD
Scarborough was a close friend of Trumps'. If I'm not mistaken, Trump was at Joe & Mika's wedding.
They both are users...I'm kinda surprised Joe walked into this trap...he knows better. But then...a narcissist never thinks it's their problem.
Joe and Mika, you’re losing credibility. SURELY you know you can only reach out to reasonable people. All you’re gonna get are new nicknames and insults.
I don't get the point. Trump demands unending loyalty, so they will have to kiss up forever. That makes them boring and irrelevant, so viewers might as well watch Fox. If they aren't going to do their jobs, they should have just quit and let someone better take over. They don't need the money.
If the plan is to put out to the public accurate shit trump is saying and doing is one thing,it’s another to suck up to him. I have watched little of the show since Monday. It will remain that way until I know wtf they are doing
It was the death knell to this morning “news” show for those two chuckleheads to visit Mar-a-Lardo in the first place. If they had any credibility before, and I do mean any, it is wiped out! Gone.
they're hardly 'liberal media' if they're bowing to trump. It's something we are missing for sure though; a media that loves truth as much as Fox loves trump.
For sure!
I think they were one of the very few msm that I trusted a bit. They pushed hard against Trump. Now this?
Trump also went hard on them, so I get it! But this was a bitch-ass move.
I've lost respect for them.
not only will I never ever watch their show, I will no longer even put the tv on MSNBC, and I have also removed the channel from my list of channels available so it won't even come up by random channel changing.
Trump is a narcissist and narcissists love to inflict pain. Trump will do nothing for the media but embarrass them and abuse them and he will enjoy every minute of it
I intend to just ignore him for 4 years. Why can't the media do that too? Tell us what's coming so we can fight, protest, but don't give *him* any attention whatsoever.
@msnbc.com.web.brid.gy and other US media epically failing its audience. Why would I ever trust them to tune in to their network if they’re not legit news?!
I agree. It felt like a punch in the gut to viewers. We have never had FOX News. CNN has went further to the right. This is why many of us are leaving MSM.
Joe Scarborough is no liberal. He is a right wing troll from the FL panhandle. He became “ liberal” when he married Mika. Her father must be rolling in his grave.
I admit, I watched them more for their expert legal commentary than them as a team. She let him tank her brand. Atta girl Mika! You know what they say… #ETTD.
Haha! Who wrote this for him? No gratuitous capitalization, correct punctuation, and he used the word charming. No way did that come from his demented mind.
Egomaniacs. And telling us we need to live in the real world! Yep, I make millions a year, I have multiple houses, and they want to tell us we don't live in the real world? And Mika, way to support women!
We’re is people’s self respect? Is that still a thing? I honestly can’t imagine those who have bent a knee to him after what he did to them/their families. Cruz, Graham, McConnell, Rubio….and the list goes on.
It’s tough to feel sorry for them, when they brought it on themselves! If they can’t stand the heat, maybe they should get out of the damn kitchen! I’m gonna miss the other people on the show, but those two left me with no choice!
They are looking forward to their show being the new Jerry Springer Show. Mika's 50 over 50 schtick is over. Joe will be bloviating in front/over fewer quality guests.
This stark Morning Joe confession was clearly scripted by lawyers & by design to humilate. In that, it worked a treat, and lost millions of viewers to boot. Trump's fragile ego must have felt mightily threatened to demand an act of public compliance. Wonder what other MSNBC presenters think 🤔
Everyone needs to stop watching cable news anyway. Especially, of course, Fox, but the vast majority of cable news is not informative news, it is entertainment-opinion and it isn't worth your time. Join a civic organization and spend time wit your community instead.
I've never considered Joe Scarborough "liberal media". I don't consider Mika "liberal media". I don't consider them "liberal" and I now no longer consider them "media".
Wondering, with the report that they felt intimated if they know DJT found something substantial on them - it’s all about the kompromat - has there been talk out there that they discussed the trek beforehand with their co-host?
One of the things I keep thinking about this whole "faith in media is at an all time low" is these types will interpret that as, "that's because we haven't tacked far enough right wing yet." It's as if the rest of us don't even exist to them because we've been out-shouted by the right for so long.
I was done with them 2 days after the election, Mika going on how Dems lost bcz of overusing woke. I screamed, turned it off. After this stunt in cowardice, it’s off for good.
I screamed and turned off the TV when she announced Trump's "tremendous victory". Went out and worked in my resistance garden for an hour!!!!! In the dark!
ME TOO! Actually I saw this coming the day after the election when I was watching to see who won and when it was clear that Kamala would concede, Mika was way too nonchalant when she took it to commercial break. It was all so fake. I knew it then.
IMO I see Bill Maher as the kind of A-hole who holds his finger up to see which way the wind is blowing and skewer whichever side will boost his ratings a kind of “Real time click bait” except 2 things he never strays from anti Islam & misogyny IMO
What’s most infuriating is that it was the Rs who started all the woke outrage. Ds weren’t the ones running around saying woke this and woke that. Ds just never counteracted it.
Exactly why I screamed at the damn tv when she said that. Unbelievable. I followed you. Living abroad we’ve been asked since 2015 wtf America is thinking re the orange pig. It’s so embarrassing.
Trump relished the grovelling. He wants that from anyone that hurt his fragile ego. He will let them grovel and then bring down the axe. Joe and Mika might think they have saved their butts but trump hasn't finished with them.
They know trump is going to get revenge.
They both need to stand by their words. I respected them for having the courage to report the truth but not now they are grovelling
I stopped watching them awhile ago but will definitely no longer follow or listen to anything they say. And Mika’s brand “know your value” is nothing. She obviously has no clue about knowing value
You can take the republican out of the cult, but you can't take the cult out of the republican.! Scarborough just showed the world that the last 4 yrs of him ranting about CRIMINAL DJT has now been rendered moot. Congrats Joe, you're impotent and a coward, hope Mika isn't publicly humiliated again.
My serious, respectful question to you: in whom have you NOT lot respect since November 5th? I feel the spread of what Noam Chomsky termed “manufactured consent.”
Joe's thumbs up photo with the evil one dropped my respect for him to zero. I feel like a fool to have had faith in him and Mika. Lack of courage got us to this place.
Yep. Trump already posted about Joe groveling. They should have remembered what happened to CNN when they started their both-sides mandate. They alienated their core viewership and failed to woo Fox viewers. Ratings tanked.
One of the things that tends to happen with media outlets in times of dictatorships and authoritarian rise, is that they will acquiesce to power in order to avoid consequences. We have just witnessed this with MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. Do not acquiesce to authoritarianism.
WTH were that thinking? Why is everyone so afraid 😳 of that disgusting human being? That’s why you should stand up to bully’s, not cower at their feet!
Supposedly they did this because they're terrified of him... In which case retire. Just stfu into the sunset. To repeat something I saw the other day, Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism: Nazis.
Plus it makes the rest if us Liberals look weak and wishy washy. I don't appreciate their backstabbing g of loyal supporters one bit, and I hope they fail in the most public and epic way possible!!!
Shouldn't you be too busy preparing briefs filings for all the voter disenfranchisement that occurred to waste time on this trivial stuff? Misprogrammed vote tabulators, crucial precincts connected to Starlink, over 500 bomb threats forcing evacuations with many voters unable to wait, etc.
Worked that way with me. Further, all that fawning admiration for Ronald Reagan was sickening. Reagan’s first speech after nomination was in the infamous Philadelphia, Mississippi. He led the administration that pushed us much further into oligarchy. He deserves clear eyed contempt as a president.
They want the access to Republicans. Or should I say MAGA. Trumpf will punish those that go on their show AND not praise him. A few will speak their minds at first and will be made examples

Because there is no significant free press left in rhe US

Retire NOW!
What happens if they report on something that 🍊🚼 doesn't like?

At best he envies them. Because he himself is a coward at heart and would never make a stand for his convictions when it stands to cost him.
The way he envies all political strong men. He wishes he could be like them.
It wasn’t a good move.
I cannot stand a boot licker!
(mumbling as I go "what a pair of friggin cowards")
They should retire.
Joe and Mika won’t even take an audit.
His is a severely twisted disorder.
They both need to stand by their words. I respected them for having the courage to report the truth but not now they are grovelling
Cowards, both of them.
Even my DVR quit their show without prompting.
