Like MJ or not, that program has done a yeoman's job this morning

defending a free press, denouncing Trump's enemies list, and pushing for continued investigation of Trump. They also gave a full-throated call for release of the Mueller report and delineated why it should not be broadbrushed as finished. Both Barr and Graham were criticized roundly.

I lob grenades at Joe and crew regularly on twitter but he's stepped up this morning, as should all citizens and defend a free press.

Every week day morning Joe, Mika, the regulars and panel guests attack trump and the repubs. I really don't understand why folks don't like MJ. They are on our side. These are not normal times. A lot of Never Trumpers are doing all they can to defeat trump too. We need all the help we can get.

I tune out. When it's good news for us then it's different. I just get tired of all the bad news lately.

Mincing no words in going after Fox News.
I highly recommend everyone find it when it’s posted online.

They are covering trump's attempts to eliminating Democratic voices on tv, whether they are politicians or pundits.

He's going to have to pry his lips off Don's behind long enough to explain why he told McCain to give the dossier to the FBI.

He has yelled about an array of topics this morning. I don't think I have ever seen him this pissed. Good.

It has been working against authoritarianism, craziness, deceit, overt racism by Trump and his minions, and the Trump mob family since the beginning of 2016.

It's the only morning program that covers politics in a sane way. It's the #2 morning program (Fox is #1), so it's an important program, as millions watch/listen to it while getting ready for work. It runs TWICE, starting at about 5 a.m. and then repeating.

Liberals get confused about what it is, since MJ has reps of both parties on, and ALL candidates who want to go on, from any party...until and unless they are banned, as they banned Trump end of 2015/early 2016.

I never watch MJ. I turned it on while riding my exercise bike. They had on this Republican Senator from La. who was talking about Congress investigating Mueller and the FBI for carrying out a witch hunt.

Then this Chris Jansen comes on and the lead story is about how Trump is going to abolish Obamacare, not sure how he is going to that, but anyway, Trump has changed the narrative away from Mueller and on to Obamacare.

I was smart today, I left the remote close enough so that I could turn off the right wing propaganda.

Maybe I was on the wrong channel? msnbc?

People, keep beating on that M$M piñata and hoping that something good is going to come out.
