13. +1,000 - Joe drives people away

Tue May 7, 2013, 07:39 AM

May 2013

I listen to MSNBC less and less on the drive to work, but I now I'm at the point of turning it off.

Scarborough is especially aggravating this morning, and his browbeating, bullying and constant interruption of Mika got old a long time ago. And you could hear the glee oozing out of him as he talked about looking forward to the long (his word) house hearings on Benghazi.

Note to MSNBC: you don't want to leave your loyal audience annoyed to the point of where they shut you off. If I wanted to listen to a conservative ideologue, there are better options out there.

It's time to fire Joe and change the name of the show to Mornings with Mika or the like.

I love the evening hosts, but Morning Joe seems to be a holdover from MSNBC's identity crisis years.
