Chloesmom June 25, 2019 Share June 25, 2019 She must be thrilled collecting and reveling in all the kudos that have flown around Twitter that she could scoop up and make her own 24 hours later (when she had a clear shot that morning but chose to postpone her rant): KYV . . . again, phhffffftttt.

may flowers June 28, 2019 Share June 28, 2019 Does Joe actually refer to the show as “The Morning Joe Sound Machine” these days? In the ad for the show during the Dem debate that’s what he calls it, so I ‘m kind of confused. Does he see everyone as backup to his lead? (Yes, I get the reference to the Miami Sound Machine, but it seems weird.) 2 Link to comment

Kemper July 1, 2019 Share July 1, 2019 I read the article; or at least as much as I could stand. Sweet Jesus...she is full of herself. I can't even rationally comment on any of it. I do wonder how Joe will react to it; but I have always thought that in private she rules the roost. And he loves the image of being a kind-of enlightened guy. One thing that bothers me about articles like this...the "comments" section. It is one thing to dislike someone and coherently comment on it (maybe with a dash of humor). But articles like this and most of the articles on sites like Mediaite kind of scare me a little. The things people write (really hateful) are sobering - it makes you realize how scary-angry seemingly normal-looking people are. But it is a bit gratifying to know that other people "can't stand" her as much as we do. Well, me. 1 2 3 Link to comment

In fact, I have been watching since the first year. Joe sucks up to everyone. I'm not a psychologist but he has an extreme inferiority complex and aspires to be a Northeast blue blood. Joe tries to schmooze and be friends with every.damn.body. You can't run an objective news program like that. Joe (and Mika) befriended and kissed up to Chris Christie for years. I think Joe thought he'd run for president and wanted to be well positioned. When things turned for Christie (Bridge-gate) Joe dropped him so fast. However, Christie didn't really care and isn't unbalanced. When Joe and Mika did the same thing with Donald Trump...well, we all know how that turned out.

Mika did as well - remember when she promised not to ask him a hard question and it was caught on a hot mic? Or their visit to Trump Tower during the transition? Or to Mar-A-Lago on New Year’s Eve? They sucked up until Trump attacked Mika. And Mika continues to suck up to Ivanka. As has been said, sucking up to political types is what they do unless they are trying to impress that person with how smart they are. Then Joe doesn’t shut up and Mika makes guttural noises while he talks. They are major suck ups. 2 Link to comment

Believe it or not, it was also once considered inappropriate to admit to being about nothing except ratings.

Kemper July 14, 2019 Share July 14, 2019 I just clicked on the "comments" section and they are really critical; apparently it is not just this board who notice that they are hardly ever in the NY studio. And are in separate locations a lot of the time. One of the comments stated that they were "just phoning it in" and it was spot on. Is there no limit to their egos, especially hers? It has sneaked up on everyone but at this point I think her ego and satisfaction with herself is even worse than his. But without his name beside hers she will go back to being on "the island of lost toys" .. which is how she described the early days of the show. Bless her heart. 2 Link to comment
