Bye Morning Joe

1. SHE SPEAKS FOR ME! K & R

[DeeDeeNY]

31. Joe and Mika each get earn approximately $8 million a year from MSNBC for their show

With that kind of cash, you'd think they would have saved some dollars over the last few years to maintain some semblance of journalistic integrity and be able to withstand the possibility of Trump pulling off the air any stations that are "disloyal" to him, as he has threatened to do many times. But no. They are complete sellouts.

[Scrivener7]

2. He showed us who he was a long time ago. I can't believe how many people watched

him after he was so instrumental in getting trump elected in 2016.

That leopard ate the faces of those who gave him a pass for that.

[Intractable]

3. Apparently, the leopard ate Mika's face in 2016/2017.

[Scrivener7]

4. I don't get the relevance of that to this conversation. You have posted that

particular ridiculous insult of trump's before so there must be some relevance about it to you. What is it?

[Intractable]

5. You don't see the relevance to them cozying up to him in 2016 and them getting insulted on air about Mika's face lift?

You don't see how this is relevant to what you posted. Really?

I'm sorry. I overestimated the value of your post.

[Scrivener7]

6. I think you overestimated the value of giving lots of air to one of trump's asinine insults.

[Intractable]

7. I think it's quite relevant, since Joe and Mika are repeating their mistake.

Sorry. I am still overestimating your posts. You are offering nothing of relevance.

[Scrivener7]

8. And yet, you seem to feel compelled to engage with me. And repeat yourself. A lot.

[Intractable]

9. That is a clear example of projection.

You have literally said nothing in your posts, yet you repeat the nothing.

What a mistake to respond to a post of yours and agree with you.

I shall not respond further. You can have the last word. You seem to want that, and for no good reason whatsoever!

[Scrivener7]

12. Looking forward to the next trump quote you awkwardly work in to multiple conversations!

[boston bean]

10. intractable.

[Scrivener7]

11. Or something.

[malaise]

13. But but but

JoeScum and MikaMouse enabled him in 2016.

[Magoo48]

14. Yes, yes, fucking yes.

Why any progressive still supports MSM confounds me.

[Conjuay]

15. I've always thought Joe was a blowhard, talking over Mika (and EVERY BODY else.

N/T

[Prairie Gates]

16. Brava!

Turn those motherfuckers off.

[La Coliniere]

17. She speaks the truth

[pamdb]

18. What with signing in

Ever since DU started telling me I have to sign in I can’t watch videos. So I go back and sign into DU and I still can’t get it. I’ve about had it with DU. I mean WTF! Am I supposed to sign in to YouTube? I never joined YouTube. If you’re not going to make videos available to DU MEMBERS then maybe don’t post them!

[rickford66]

20. I doubt if DU is making you sign in.

It has something to do with how the poster got the link. I have no problem on my two PC's, only on my Iphone. If I have the problem on my phone, I open a YouTube video somewhere else, then go back to the troubled one, refresh the page and it works OK. I hope someone comes up with a solution because it is annoying.

[LittleGirl]

21. You Tube is requiring the sign in, not DU

This changed last month when You Tube started requesting that you sign in to see their videos. It showed up on DU because they changed their rules, not DU.

Make sure you press the You Tube link on the video on the lower left side of the screen and it usually will run then.
Good luck.

[harumph]

23. Depends on how the poster embeds or posts the link.

IOW, I don't think it has nothing to do with site settings. for example, I'm seeing it (the op video) just fine within DU.
Maybe check your browser settings.

[obamanut2012]

28. DU isn't making you sign in to anything

wth

[Skittles]

35. it's not DU telling you that

good LAWD

[Puppyjive]

19. They are all drug dealers

I'm so sick of the drug commercials. You want to restructure their world, remove the drug commercials. They won't survive.

[LittleGirl]

22. I can't believe how many Pharma commercials there are!

I moved back to the states 9 months ago and I can't watch live tv anymore. It's gotten so bad, I have to mute the commercials or recite them after they repeat so often. It's disgusting that they allow this and why our healthcare is so expensive.

[BonnieJW]

27. And now you know why prescription drugs cost so much

The drug companies will tell you they need to charge a lot for research and development. BS.
R&D costs are baked into the budget. If they don't come up with new drugs, they have no product to sell. The money goes to dividends, bonuses, and tv commercials

[Crowman2009]

24. Never watched them, mainly because he was a former GOPer congressman.

Plus I prefer not to get my news from people dressed in expensive clothing.

[DownriverDem]

25. I did watch them

They were very anti trump. Those they had on the show also were anti trump. What sell outs! Will never watch them again.

[Faux pas]

26. I said goodbye to them

before they ever started. He's an asshole and she's his spare set of nuts.

[iluvtennis]

29. After Mika announced the visit to TSF a little after the program started on Monday 11/18, I shut it off.

The show had been a part of my morning routine for years now, but as the raven said, NEVERMORE.

[Chicagogrl1]

30. Exactly

The only ones i can watch for a little bit is Nicolle & Lawrence.

[DFW]

32. I can't stop watching that program

I have never once seen it, so I can’t stop what I never started.

I get really tired of hearing “corporate this” and “corporate that.” Sure, the evil billionaires. The right wing has their “woke” and their “liberals.” Just as tiring. After a decade or two of unchanging sloganeering, it just gets old. We gotta change our tune sooner or later.

[DonCoquixote]

33. it may be a slogan but

When the billionaires ARE the ones manipulating the nation, the fact remains. Would you rather we say it was Martians? Aliens might have more sense than Elon Musk

[BlueKentuckyGirl]

34. FSTV

Or try, Free Speech TV. Totally viewer supported. Democracy Now with Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez is and excellent source of news.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

36. People stopped watching after this announcement
