Morning Jerk had to say the words "Rachel Maddow" this morning in the context of praise.

[deminks]

It was a thing of beauty.

He said Rachel was extremely prepared. Of course she was. That's like saying Obama is articulate. Of course he is.

1. That's one of the things that constantly amazed me, you have MSNBC'S

No 1 star and she is rarely mentioned, or her stories reported on Morning Joe.

[StarfishSaver]

2. They're probably in bed by the time she comes on

They probably have no idea what happens anytime after 8 pm - must be bright-eyed and dewy for their 6 am show ...

[OnDoutside]

3. They'd get the heads from their staff when they come in. Maddow is

the major ratings getter for MSNBC, but don't maximize her. They don't even repeat her show during the night, ffs Brian Williams is repeated twice !

[Blue_Adept]

6. Uh, Maddow is repeated at midnight

[OnDoutside]

7. Are you East or West coast ?

because she used to be on at 4am ET, but replaced her show with Williams, and Williams is already on at 2am ET.

[Blue_Adept]

10. If you're going to cite coastal games, do that first next time

Regardless, she IS on the schedule twice:

[OnDoutside]

12. Ah sure you're great altogether.

[Blue_Adept]

13. If you're going to be disingenuous in your posting, you're just wasting other peoples time

All you had to say was that it sucks that because you're on the west coast that Rachel doesn't get a second showing.

Whereas the rest of the country does get the second showing.

It's that simple.

[leftieNanner]

26. I'm on the West Coast

And I often watch Rachel at 9 pm. This other person is not accurate in what they said to you.

[Blue_Adept]

29. Thanks!

I know the west coast gets screwed sometimes by a very east coast oriented news media in the country so it wouldn't surprise me if late night schedules were not the same. I only have the MSNBC schedule on their site to go by otherwise.

[wryter2000]

27. I'm on the west coast

I get Rachel at 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm.

[Blue_Adept]

30. I wish I had her on at six, I'd see her show more often.

[wryter2000]

33. That's when I normally watch her

But she's on when I get home from choir practice at 9:30.

[Polly Hennessey]

36. I, too, am on the west coast.

I get Rachel at 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm., and a rerun of one of her shows on Saturday at 6:00 pm.

[Dream Girl]

31. I usually watch her at 9 on West Coast

[OnDoutside]

35. Disingenuous, my arse.

You replied with a shitty response to a genuine post. Better that you didn't post at all, with that attitude.

[Blue_Adept]

38. If you think that was a shitty response, you must not get out into the wider internet much

[dewsgirl]

34. And at 3am

[radical noodle]

32. Yes, they do repeat n/t

[Blue_Adept]

5. Most shows on MSNBC rarely reference each other

I've got it on most of the day at work and background listen but you almost never hear them talk about any of the other shows or hosts throughout the day.

[OnDoutside]

8. I'm in the same situation and I would hear others mentioned before RMS. And for the No 1 MSNBC show,

I find that odd.

[PJMcK]

14. Except during the handoff from one MSNBC show to the next

The hosts will sometime banter during the transition from one show to the next.

Generally, you're right, though and you don't see many references to their colleagues.

[Blue_Adept]

24. Yeah, the hand-offs are one thing but like you said, it's not what we're talking about

They've had a few reporters today in the field referencing the maddow interview with her named directly, but once the day got further on it was just referencing the parnas interview.

It's both good and bad because it keeps the network from being identified by one personality but at the same time it lacks promotion within for other segments/hosts.

[pecosbob]

4. Morning Joe and Chuck Todd

There's two people I would walk a block out of my way to avoid hearing. MSNBC's a lot like the New York Times...one part will tell you the truth and the other part tell you day is night and night is day.

[wryter2000]

28. Chuck Todd will tell you

That not everyone agrees that day is day. And he'll smirk while doing it.

[quickesst]

9. given that some people....

.... view Joe Scarborough's praise of a fellow MSNBC host as an extreme rarity, I assume there must be numerous examples of Rachel Maddow and other MSNBC hosts praising one another on their show.
I am not talking about the banter some hosts trade because they happen to be in the same tudio. I am talking about examples matching the praise of Rachel Maddow by Joe Scarborough on his show.

"He said Rachel was extremely prepared. Of course she was."

Exactly what does anyone think Joe Scarborough should have said about Rachel?

[Blue_Adept]

11. He was also repeating what Willie had just said

Willie said she was extremely prepared for it and he then said exactly the same.

[quickesst]

15. So what?

He also described The Rachel Maddow interview as "extraordinary". Do you think there was some underlying, devious motive in his description?

When was the last time you exposed trump's corruption to millions of Americans? When was the last time you gave democratic politicians such as Chuck Schumer, Claire Mccaskill, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, and many others a platform to reach those millions of people?

"This thread"

[MissKat]

17. exactly

Let's do tit for tat...

I don't think I've ever heard Rachel praise Joe or Mika. Folks, they're competitive people! It's not in their nature. Most of us don't care for Joe...but we've been watching because he's a never Trumper. No other reason.

All that aside....put your ear to the ground. Hear that cracking? I'm thinking we might be on the path to the place where a group of GOP gray hairs go to the Orange One and tell him to resign for the good of the party.

Wouldn't that be delightful? Just like when I celebrated John Mitchell going to prison. Lordy, there were tapes.

Not quite there yet, but I just don't see McConnell as mother hen protecting Donnie if it means losses in Nov. Just don't see it.

[Blue_Adept]

25. Great response when I'm basically agreeing with you throughout the thread.

[quickesst]

37. you're right. I owe you an apology

I simply got you confused with another poster because I wasn't paying enough attention. Again, I apologize.

[gab13by13]

16. Nicolle Wallace constantly praises Rachel

I'm delighted she got a promotion. She is no nonsense, her show isn't about herself, she has great guests and is not afraid to dress down a guest when he or she goes off the rails.

Nicolle and Rachel are stars and I like Chris Hayes, that's about all I watch, I don't want to upset myself watching the others.

[JaneQPublic]

18. Here is video of the original Maddow-Scarborough tiff.

in 2008, during the old MSNBC show "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue" hosted by David Gregory, Scarborough gave Maddow a dressing down, essentially for disagreeing with him and hurting his male pride. Scar stomped off the set before the segment was done.

He hasn't had much good to say about her in ages. Actually, he seldom mentioned her!

[winstars]

19. He NEVER EVER talks about her. Last night changed all that. Today he HAD to and he did, repeatedly.

Meeka and Shmoe helped get tRump elected in a small, tiny way...


Hearing Shmoe say her name over and over and reminded me of the famous Ali fight with Ernie Terrell where every time Ali connected with a punishing punch, he yelled "WHATS MY NAME to his opponent, who had refused to call him Ali and continued to call him Cassius Clay.

Last night Rachel was Ali and today Joe was Ernie Terrell...

I loved every second of it...

LOL

[malaise]

21. Great post

What's my name is right

[winstars]

23. Oddly, its all I thought of as he was talking... HAHAHAHA!!!!

[malaise]

20. In all my years of watching JoeScum, I think that was a first

I did laugh

[brooklynite]

22. I assume you meant to insinuate that he doesn't like Maddow for some reason?

Do you have some actual data to support that claim?

And, I'm sure MORNING JOE appreciates your continued viewership...
