This "Morning Joe" capitulation is another of my worst fears about life under Trump 47 -- that those of us who plan to keep writing against Trump's autocratic ways are going to be marginalized as "dead enders" who aren't getting with the program, which will make it easier to shut us up - ThreadSky

Not me. Ever. PERIOD.

Keep resisting. They are losing viewers just like Twitter ☺️. Keep up the good fight!

caleehowdy.bsky.social•105 days ago

Liked the guests but the nights hosts were always the best. I hurry home Monday nights.

The biggest con pulled on the American people is that we have a liberal media. Scarborough was a Gingrich Republican.

sgthulkasbigtoe.bsky.social•106 days ago

The biggest con is to make people think the media is some homogeneous, all-conspiring organism. These outlets compete with one another for the best stories and awards. Would they ignore a Democratic scandal that could win them a Pulitzer Prize?

jackiechoix.bsky.social•106 days ago

They would froth at the mouth for that.

Stay very visible publicly. Keep in mind many of us canceled subscriptions to other news entities and subscribed to your paper...

elizabratsusan.bsky.social•106 days ago

Narcissism meets narcissism. Joe is as self-centered as they come so it is not a surprise he does not come from a place of morals and ethics.

donnayoungdc.bsky.social•106 days ago

What deal did MSNBC Morning Joe's Joe & Mika make with Trump? Go on air & humiliate yourselves/alienate your viewers in exchange for preventing endless #IRS investigations of Joe & Mika or ensure NBC keeps its license?
Other media making similar deals with Trump?

charliesway15.bsky.social•106 days ago

Capitulation is the perfect word. Having said that, I am the least surprised they were the first in line. Shameless hacks and complete frauds. They are in for themselves and have always been.

mjm-goducks.bsky.social•106 days ago

Yep - I hate it here right now, and I see nothing positive on the horizon.

chawls.bsky.social•106 days ago

I’m at a loss for the lack of strong leadership from the opposition party. Or is there going to be opposition? Man, don’t folks know history at all?

remembermeyeah.bsky.social•106 days ago

And for that reason I have unplugged from corporate media who are in bed with the right wing billionaires

lilsmurf.bsky.social•106 days ago

You accuse me of murder I'm going to Mar a Lago to fight not let's make bygones be bygones.

austidog.bsky.social•106 days ago

Or, just turn them off. They aren’t going to touch F&F, and without us, they dry up and wither.

aem7694.bsky.social•106 days ago

They want access and they don’t want to risk that high paying corporate gig. It’s greed, nothing more and we’re going to see more of it from all the major networks and shows.

donlafferty.bsky.social•106 days ago

They play a numbers game, not a democracy game.

revlis7.bsky.social•106 days ago

Journalists shouldn't talk to bad people?

srubin5190.bsky.social•106 days ago

I feel helpless and hopeless.

dhgarrison.bsky.social•106 days ago

Guess the missed the memo about that whole “obeying in advance” thing

brianlokker.bsky.social•106 days ago

Keep at it, Will!

elizabethbennettjd.bsky.social•106 days ago

Absolutely nothing of value should be measured against what is said on that show.

melissafsu.bsky.social•106 days ago

#TurnOffMorningJoe

charliesway15.bsky.social•106 days ago

I have done that long time ago. Never trusted them.

davidrsa.bsky.social•106 days ago

@morningmika.bsky.social very disappointed. “Know your value” right? I stopped recording your show for the first time in over a decade. Ratings over credibility.

resistmagafascism.bsky.social•106 days ago

Yep.
Joe and Mika are as gutless as the people they have been railing against these last 4 years.

tsyndrome.bsky.social•106 days ago

And yet you continue to elevate the cable news gasbag #mediawhores by talking about them.

Ignore them and let them wither away.

tannytanny.bsky.social•106 days ago

I'll still be reading, Will. Keep writing.

btoporek.bsky.social•106 days ago

Please keep fighting the good fight.

davidbulcock.bsky.social•105 days ago

How can they keep providing value to the shareholders if they are blacklisted and stuck in a re-education camp? That was their calculation.

For every person who is fooled into believing journalism must be mindlessly neutral or power congruent, your voice of dissent becomes exponentially more necessary. As both a counter point, and an increasingly rare source of truth as opposed to just unpackaged information, or worse, lies.

vashbandy.bsky.social•106 days ago

Also, I have Project 2025 downloaded to my computer so if I want to know what the hell is going to happen, I have the playbook. And I’m way too busy right now preparing for shit to go off the rails to listen to pundits pundit. Even if I could emotionally stand to hear Trump or JD Vance’s voice…. 🚫

vashbandy.bsky.social•106 days ago

I haven’t turned on cable news since the election. Considering how much mainstream media normalized Trump before the election though, I’m not surprised.

joelwolfe.bsky.social•106 days ago

The Inqy probably has a rate of new subscribers that's close to MSNBC's rate of loss of viewers, so there's that.

alanhowe.bsky.social•106 days ago

Stand up. Gather together. Get yourself ready. Fight back.

Popular uprising has deposed dictators around the globe. It is our turn.

hugetinymistake.bsky.social•106 days ago

This is them revealing their true colors more than anything; don't despair

twinksy.bsky.social•106 days ago

Im not going be a coward either

rabpr.bsky.social•106 days ago

Morning Joe's "we want open communication" is just self-serving BS.

ribelleinpa.bsky.social•105 days ago

Especially since Trump and his people are liars.

ieb123.bsky.social•106 days ago

They're bending the knee. Normalizing. Their brains cannot compute the reality of the situation. That, or they are careerists attempting to chisel out a niche for themselves in hostile territory.

rockinruby.bsky.social•106 days ago

Sadly, that's a valid fear. :-( But doing the right thing is always the right thing.

theresewalsh.bsky.social•106 days ago

(Unless it’s the far-right thing…)

rockinruby.bsky.social•106 days ago

But that's never the right thing! LOL

theresewalsh.bsky.social•106 days ago

💯

jp-invention.bsky.social•106 days ago

It’s owned by a billion mainstream media company called NBC. Of course the parent company will bow wherever the dollar leads them. ABC, nbc, CBS, Disney, etc etc. It’s over. Caring folks have to jump ship and go to alternative, independent outlets. ASAP. It’s the only way now

jonsalvia.bsky.social•106 days ago

Another bright blinking neon light example of why Democrats should stop letting former Republicants lead our movements whether it's in politics or media. They're all horribly compromised and easily leveraged.
