Wow. Bowing to fascists for ratings. It’s not like Morning Joe is investigative journalism requiring access for comment. This is for entertainment purposes only.

Never was the fan of this show and usually turn on true crime documentaries if I'm watching TV at that time of the day. That being said, I have caught glimpses of what they've said over the past year and are they F'ING KIDDING ME???? I'm not surprised but really.
Mika & Joe have been invited into my home every weekday since January of 2021. They fooled me. I actually thought they would have the courage to quit, be heroes, & help save democracy. They are TRAITORS. Shun them.
Beyond disappointing!!! I've literally watched Mika in tears doing segments on woman's health, and her "heartbreak" over all the women not being able to access reproductive care and the damage it was causing. I'm done with Morning Joe!!!
I was very surprised to see this announcement this morning. After everything they’ve said in the run up to the election!!!! I’m not sure how they think this is going to be productive, except to get themselves off Trumps target list.
They’re scared, because of all the trash talk they were doing prior to the election, and knowing that he’s going to start persecuting and prosecuting journalists. That’s how it starts!
Did they get a big kiss for the millions of dollars of free air time they gave him for the last 4 years? Hell, I'll bet he charged them for their rooms and the willingly paid. Dumbasses.
I’ve watched the show for years. I listened this morning and really tried to understand their rationalization for meeting with this monster. Nope. No way. I’m OUT!
Once Biden dropped out & the MSM stopped mentioning the age of the candidate still running, they lost me. They want TFG in there just for ratings. Horrifying.
I gave up my addiction to MSNBC as a whole after Nov5. I may occasionally listen to Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell on an app, but no more 'round the clock for me.
Yes I thought others would see it the same way I did too. Like you said, they might of been covering their ass by telling Trump they won't bad mouth him any longer cause their scared of what he might do..Still I'm disappointed in them💙
tRump has threatened a lot of people over the past 8 years. If you were 1 of those people, would you want to smooth the road? Or keep looking over your shoulder?
I was shocked, but considering Mika's exposure to political negotiations & Joe's political career, I'm not surprised. 1/2
2/2
Bottom line, they're trying to stay out of jail, and keep their jobs. I can't fault them for that.
Even Isreal is talking to their arch enemies. Why can't critics of tRump.
The lack of courage is amazing. You get called a murderer, oh well. Told that your face lift was bleeding all over, he was kidding. Such spineless wimps.
Mika and Joe are now his captives. The reason Trump is fascinated with Hannibal Lecter is because he also is a sadist who tortures others for pleasure.
He has no limits and will continue to ask them for more and more until there is nothing left of them.
I haven’t watched a single minute of these two since they announced their marriage engagement.
Look, across the board tv media personalities these days will and do sell out on their ethics, honor, integrity, and self respect just for the story and $ that come with it.
I didn't find this entertaining at all. We're running out of media allies in tv world. Is shutting it off going to help us when fox, Sinclair and all the other RW media powers are the only thing on the menu? How does that win the information war? Feels like we're just making more room for them. 😟
Here are 2 of the reasons why Kamala did not win. Of course my memory is strong enough to remember Joe kissing Ron Desnatis butt for about an hour every single morning until it was obvious that his campaign was going nowhere.
VP Harris didn't win because Donald Trump and Elon Musk STOLE & RIGGED this election. We ALL know, there's NO WAY IN HELL he won the popular vote. They over did their CHEATING.
DAMN SHAME, because he DEFINITELY did some NEFARIOUS shit with that Starlink thing of his. That's why he said, if Trump DOESN'T win, he's going to jail (Elon). NO WAY Trump won legitimately, especially NOT the popular vote. He's LESS popular than before with the American people.
We all know the only reason they did this was due to NBC brass ordering them to do so or be fired. It still doesn’t mean I will ever watch Morning Joe again.
SMDH! There’s a reason I haven’t watched TV since the election. I’m going to do a deep dive into Ancient Aliens instead of news … makes more sense. (Kitsune agrees!)
The mainstream media was going to cave to Trump if he was elected again.
They want that excitement and ratings that they had when Trump won in 2016. They think by bowing down to Trump they will get it. The problem is their networks are tanking now.
I stopped watching/listening to MSNBC on Wednesday, Nov. 6. I stream TV so I subscribed to SiriusXM so I could listen and I cancelled that yesterday. I’m done with them. Keep up the good work. I’ll follow you here!
All 24 hour news is worthless. The only benefit from this election was that my mom and in-laws finally gave up 24-hr news after my asking for 6 years to get them to leave it behind.
I'm begging my dad to turn it all off now. I know he'll be happier. He has no use for fiction television, and all his music channels were lost to no funding, so he has little to replace it with, unfortunately.
Not sure how this has to do with ratings. Its not like MAGA is going to watch their show. They have the rep of being anti trump for a reason. Even today, they were still very critical which is why I dont buy the kiss the ring stuff. If the coverage changed that would be one thing but it didnt
Bad move, opening communications with trump.
We all know he spills nothing but self promotion and lies!
Why bother no one wants to hear his fat ass anyway.
Don’t kiss the ring, he is still a felon
This makes all their hysterics before the election seem hollow and disingenuous. This is why l don’t trust the MSM. They don’t stand on business. They’re just a lot of talk, and have decided to sane wash the administration that near killed everyone again. Just pathetic .
This is why we are in the shape we are in. They stood their ground until he got elected. Spineless. They can afford to leave the country. The rest of us are have to sit and watch this.
My mouth dropped. Mika looked uncomfortable as he was speaking, imo. In that moment I think they realized what they had done.
Don’t know what they were thinking.
Horrible. I watched it. He claims in his discussions with Trump, he wanted to "unite the country." Yeah sure, have us united in worshipping him and his fascism. NO THANKS. I'll take "division" if that means opposing fascism!
So beyond pathetic and sad how they are bending the knee. These were the last two I was watching. Now they are gone too. Will be sports only for me moving forward
They haven't learned yet! "Free Speech since Bk8, Plato's Republic is the known weakness of democracy. It requires free speech, can't have it w/o it yet that's its weakness b/c it enables demagogues as Plato warned us.How do we deal w/the paradox which enables tyranny & demagogues to end democracy".
It’s just the beginning unfortunately. State run television is going to be a new normal. The media will attempt to normalize a felon for four years if you let them.
The government has ZERO OVERSIGHT over cable networks. So, the only thing that could shut down a cable network is bankruptcy or a natural disaster that wipes out the entire company. Of course, such a disaster would likely wipe out all their viewers as well, so it's kind of a moot point.

It’s why we are where we are.
NO JUST NO
GOODBYE JOE AND MIKA. You are being replaced.
Joe & Mika just put the final nail in their comment

So disappointed in Mika.
what utter drivel...
Scarborough went on to say he was 'inspired' by Neville Chamberlain meeting Hitler in 1938.....

I love Mika on anyone who is full of bs. She’s like a dog with a bone. Re: Chris Christie.
I choose to continue to watch.
See how they handle it.
We all know he spills nothing but self promotion and lies!
Why bother no one wants to hear his fat ass anyway.
Don’t kiss the ring, he is still a felon
Don’t know what they were thinking.
You're still on Twitter.
You can't claim to be pro-democracy while you help keep Musk's Lie Machine alive.
#hypocrite
The surprise were tidbits prior to election trust,getting the messaging clear-even though extended no where outside MSM
Their regression into idiocy- not surprising at all
Double happy to have canceled network and cable news!!
Joe & Mika know that.
Oh, wait...
The only reason they told on themselves is a public apology to #45
