Morning Joe with Willie

Willie is just so boring. He has boring stories and skip all over the news that should be more important, like the Russia. I never thought I would ever say" I miss Joe and Mika" but I do.For the last few months Joe and Mika goes hard on old Trumpie and the Repukes.I just change the channel with Willie because he is just a boring cast. Don't get me wrong-I know it can't be a lot of emotion all the time when doing the show,but geez. Even Mika has a better show,even though she gets on my nerves sometimes when she talks over the guess to hurry her segment when they are spilling good story. Joe talks over people ,but at least they tears into Trump and his party from time to time.They need a co host when Willie does the show-maybe Claire McCaskil. I also miss Tweety because he has been on air a long time and I got use to him. I did not like him interrupting everyone,but I think he was like that as he aged.

just went on and on about the confederate flag. Why not pound her hard on the Russian bounty story? Trump wants to talk about Bubba and not Putin. STOP being distracted by the bullshit.

Not being yelled out of bed is is not so bad.

The intensity of everything surrounding this horrendous administration has been brutal.

I will take a couple of dull mornings.

personal opinions. I watch the news to learn stuff-- like what's happening in the world outside of my little acre or so.

PBS runs kids' stuff in the morning, networks run cooking segments, and cable runs opinion shows constantly beating the same dead horses.

Local news at least gives you weather reports. BBC is floating around on various channels, but they don't give you weather or the local deadly car crashes.

I end up listening to NPR. NPR regularly gets trashed around here when it doesn't validate certain opinions, and it's not perfect, but it's laid back, not personality driven, and has that calm air of "just the facts, ma'am".
