3. What is it with the media's love affair over this clown?

From the failed PR campaign of "Joe and Mika - Cable's Hepburn and Grant?" to Huff Post's obsession with covering the most banal moments of Morning Joe it just boggles the mind.

Arguably, the show was pretty watchable back during the 2008 campaign. At the time there was the push to make the show an even-balanced counter-point to Fox and Friends. However, the show eventually downgraded itself over time into a "morning zoo" routine and then completed cratered when it morphed into the Joe Scarborough morning show monologue.

Why anyone at MSNBC thinks a third rate former Congressman who left office years ago needs/deserves more air time to air his revisionist take on history and politics as host of MTP is beyond me.
