Ok! It is time for Morning Joe show to go away!

They banter the way the wind blows! Mika & Joe have worn the show out. It is time for new show or new hosts? They are worse then Trump flip flopping his lies! They think Hillary should be farther ahead in the polls! Maybe, but Trump gets coverage for the lies he says and then people hear these. I know they have to cover the stories, but lies should not take up the whole show! For instance, they ridiculed Trump yesterday & today they fall all over him! It's long pass due for something new for MSNBC!

The truth is I used to watch him, but mostly it was because I liked his sidekicks Tony and Rob. I bet Rob could do a killer Trump.

We refuse to subsidize cable snooze and right wing religious demagogues by subscribing to cable or satellite TV services. I cannot not understand why so many here watch this crap. OOOOOH! Rachel is great, OOOOOH NOOOOO! Rachel is selling out. And so it goes through one talking head after another. Why does anyone bother?

on other voters. We can make up our own minds, but want to find out what these people are doing to try to influence. Whether people actually are influenced is another question.

like now - a guest discussing why millennials are drawn to the GOP. - and why the GOP is targeting them.

It is just silly to call for their demise because one disagree with them - then continues to watch daily. Don't watch - that is the way shows go off-air. The networks care about how many watch - not whether viewers agree. neil boorz once admitted to having a bonus written into his contract based on the number of emails etc received outraged by his comments. (Whether true or not - I don't know - but heard him make that claim years ago. It would not surprise me based on his comments.)

I listen to them while I am driving down the road. I don't listen to Fox News. CNN morning show is about the same. I try to find the news from the overnight & at 5 am Morning Joe starts and I listen for awhile. As for your comment "I don't agree with them", I have said in past posts, they were right in some cases and wrong in others!

These pundits make the most outrageous statements they can think of, and that is how they get attention. And that's what they care about. Everyone talking about them.

It's why they love Don the Con. He's outrageous and it gets attention.
