Someone has to show up and report on Trump. Corporate media sucks, but I would rather MSNBC keep reporting and maintaining a presence. Do we only want right wing media reporting on Trump when it comes to traditional press conferences? There won't be any facts.
I’d like to think that they would be with this announcement it’s clear they are going to take the CNN route and give the republicans air time to give their both sides arguments and completely legitimise everything
I stopped watching all legacy media the day after the election. popped in 3 days later to listen to someone breathlessly blaming anyone other than themselves for normalizing him and the white vote for voting for him. Done with legacy media.
honestly, no, seems like a lot of effort to go through to answer one question though. I'll keep it in mind if I decide to fill out an actual survey in the future.
I don’t watch & won’t start.
They had to be invited, correct?They can’t just show up & get an audience.
How many media were invited in order to kiss the ring. Perhaps there was a bit of quid pro quo involved. TFG said he’d jail those who spoke out against him.
This is me just spitballing.
34-felon lied about the meeting. If he's talking, he's lying, we all know that!
So, do we start falling for his traps like lemmings? Don't get me wrong, I prefer Lawrence O'Donnell, Maddow & Dateline Whitehouse, but I'm not going to "follow the lemmings" either. I'll wait to see their show.
I’m not watching any network news for the next 4 years! I refuse to get caught up in Trump’s daily low class reality show. I’ll keep my ears open and show up when needed, but will not be an audience to his circus.
I can’t remember the last time I watched them. Maybe 2005? Were they around then? Anyway, I only watched them once and it was before they got married to each other.
I never watch them. They are supposed to report the news. I don’t think they kissed the ring just trying to do their jobs? I guess they could be scared and want to save their jobs? Meh. Low on my worry list.
Why go in person and tell Trump he ran a flawless campaign? (Did he lie that they said that?) All they did was normalize him as worthy of their respect. They do not present themselves as objective observers, but timid hedgers of truth, wary of offending the oligarchical autocrat.
Hmmm… just watched. If they bring up the common concerns most Americans have and share a true understanding of what’s going on…how is that wrong? I’m not hearing that they now approve of anything they didn’t previously. Let’s not ban the few voices we have. Don’t ➗ our base further. Time will tell.
I appreciate your question and sincereity. I listened to their podcast this am. After listening, I don’t believe they are truly trying to share concerns. It seems they are trying to ingratiate themselves with the prez-elect. They were very anti-Trump before Nov 5, no reason to change now.
Time will tell. If I see they start sane washing Trump or not sharing the gravity of the situation I will not loose a wink of sleep omitting them entirely. If they find a way to invite more viewers exposing them to a perspective they’ve never heard then brilliant! We need greater exposure not less.
For sure, we do need more exposure. They have lost me, though. I’d rather listen to CNN, because they haven’t changed their views, IMO. The 180 is what is frustrating.
Kinda off topic, but I love Pod Save America.
Thanks for following up Dave. That’s what I mean, I didn’t see the 180 and watched twice. In terms of how DIT said the meeting went….lol. I don’t believe a word he says.
I hear you. I’ll be observing to see if their focus digs deeper or stay cream level following the general media criticism of Trump. I hope they don’t capitulate further. The only gain I see is when things get worse, will those impacted (many DJT voters) want a different perspective?
That is what we are hoping for, for sure.
I mean, I hope his economic ideas work (I disagree with them, and believe the vast majority of economists are right, but I’m a middle school teacher, so this is not my expertise). But if I’m wrong, and the USA actually benefits from them, great.
But his plans for social change are NOT OKAY.
I really hope our legislators stand up and provide the opposition that their positions allow, and in fact, call for.
And I hope the press (Morning Joe, et al) do their job for the people, as the fourth estate.
Most likely they were told to get on board the Mump train or else. And now we get to see which ones sell out their own country- the country their grandparents fought and died for.
We (Americans), share many of the same concerns and have way more than in common than what divides us: affordable housing, good education, healthcare, work and working conditions etc. Providing an opening to hear another prospective can only be a good thing. Especially when Trump fails them.
As much as I've enjoyed them being a part of my early morning routine I was already feeling discouraged watching them/the network but after this morning I think I'll pass unfortunately
How can I answer this accurately? It's a long the lines of "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?"- because I can't stop what I never started. I also do not watch The View or Bill Maher. 🤷♀️
I have only watched a couple of times because of the way Joe treats Mika. It's very offputting and it makes me not care what else they have to say. But this news about their detente with Trump is sure a surprise.
Rather than bend and kiss the ring, they should both have retired to some lovely Florida beach. I was so disappointed in them to read what they did. They will end up sane-washing the next 4 years like all the others. Their points of light have been extinguished by their own hand. Shame one them.
I've watched them for like 15 years. While I certainly don't agree with them (or every guest) all the time I have no plans to never watch again. If I notice a change in coverage I will reevaluate.
I stopped watching them when they treated President Biden so disrespectfully after the debate pretty much. Haven’t watched Morning Joe in years. Not worth my time.
Ditto this: "Well, I hate to break it to you, Joe and Mika: you compromise it all when you compromise yourself like this. Shameful stuff, you two."

Why didn’t they tell the viewers before their planned visit? If they truly want to keep us informed. Why
no audio..video? Seems strange since they’re “journalists.” (I use that word lightly).
No, and I'll be curious to see if Prof. Eddie Glaude remains a regular guest. Ever since he exposed the real reason trump won, he's been absent from Morning Joe. The old media are dying. The center no longer holds.
I watch every morning. And I also listen to your clips on YouTube. So they went to Mar a Lago. They are a great morning show with a lot of great guests from both sides of the aisle. Go on the show or have them on your show. We have to heal as a country. We are all in this together.
I stopped watching MSM months ago when it was clear they were both-sides-ing fascism. They failed us and I'm not giving them any ad revenue. 🖕 I'm not at all shocked these idiots kissed his ring. DISGUSTING!
While it is humorous, how is your response helpful to those who obviously don’t know what data harvesting is but use the words in a post justifying not responding to a survey?
For validity purposes. Because if you don’t include an extra step, what’s stopping it from being posted to MAGA folks to completely invalidate the survey?
Direct surveys aren’t the most unbiased method of collecting user sentiment, but adding extra steps helps prevent trolls from taking it over.
It’s the easiest information to provide that enables them to remove multiple votes from a single voter. If you don’t have a throw-away email address to use, they will also accept your social security number, birthdate, and mother’s maiden name.
Except Bluesky has a stated policy of not sharing or selling user data. You aren’t suggesting they are secretly violating that part of their user agreement already, right?
I love that they are doing this survey. The email that I used is a junk email. The reality is there are far worse people out there that can access every ounce of our private information without us giving them anything. I worry about those folks. @meidastouch.bsky.social? I'm not concerned.
Sure you can. But you know what? They've give us lots of great information so if they want an email address than great. The folks have too much lose to try to do something shady. So we'll get emails from them...no big deal.
Not bothering with survey because I have never watched that show and never will. Daytime TV and any TV "news" shows besides The Daily Show are never on in my house.
It is despicable, but I wonder if they fear the asshat will arrested for treason, as he seems to think he can. I also acknowledge I am naive, and try to look for the best in others.
I can’t remember the last time I watched the news without listening to every single fucking talking head opine and speculate endlessly on their own vapid fucking thoughts instead of just delivering facts, debating those facts, & moving to the next topic.
Nope! I’m not even watching that fake inauguration. I want him to have the lowest rated inauguration of all time! 🤷♂️ No News. No TV. Nada. They feed off the attention and the spotlight. Best thing to do is tune them out. Turn them off. And ignore them.
Done watching MSM first it was CNN after the Trump townhall rally and now it is MSNBC because of what Morning Joe did I watched it this morning and haven't watched after that aired
I will not be watching ! Actually stopped the day after the election when the finger pointing started. I feel like they played us honestly ! They have lost my trust . I now rank them up there with Fox !!
You should’ve asked if respondents watch it now. Ppl are making too much out of this. Extinguish the torches, retire the pitchforks and let’s get on with things that matter.
At this moment in time where a fascist is about to take office after one of the most successful mass disinformation campaigns in human history, anyone who grants him legitimacy is just as bad as he is.
Definitely not. I never was a frequent watcher, but won't ever go back. Also n have stopped watching most mainstream cable news networks after the horrible coverage during the election.
I answered “maybe” amd for sure way less than before to none. You can still cover him the good the bad and ugly fromhis administration without the need to flattering (for say tthe least)
They BLOCKED me because I made a Comment(free speech). Hey MSNBC you’ve Blocked a NOBODY to Social Media……..what’s up👀👀👀👀👀👀😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨⏰🛑👴🏻👴🏻🗑️🗑️🗑️👺👹 @nbcnews.com.web.brid.gy
We need people in there. Who else could go there & do the journalism? Better yet, what liberal news would they even allow to get close to the tRump camp for the next 4 years? It’s sucks that they have to go there but someone other than tRumps cronies have to let us know what’s going on.

I've NEVER watched those two hypocrites and will never, going forward.

They just want to make sure they aren’t on trumps retribution list.

@meidastouch.bsky.social, will you post the results of this survey?
"Do you watch cable news?"
"Do you know who Morning Joe is?"

The answer is: Yes!
Direct surveys aren’t the most unbiased method of collecting user sentiment, but adding extra steps helps prevent trolls from taking it over.
It’s very ironic that folks are complaining about “data harvesting” on a FREE platform.
If you don’t have to pay for it up front, your data is being sold to cover the cost.
You used an email to sign-up.
I'm an author and have just migrated from X to here. But it feels a bit lonely over here without friends.
Can we be friends? 😊
