Whatever you do, don't tune into Joe & Mika......
Mika "went down" on Joe this morning. She read a portion of his "book" on air and then exclaimed what a good quote it was.

Constantly begging people to buy his book is pathetic. He even had a fake debate about the republican party so they could all talk about it for half the show.

1. great advice for any day. I like how Obama likened cable news to professional wrestling
no one's surprised by the outcome, they all have their roles to play.

He added that you dont even have to watch to know which position Pat Buchana and Keith Olberman are taking on an issue. I think that expands to all of cable news.

9. yep, I agree which is why, as Randi Rhodes stated, there should be...
some type of licensing that will differentiate "journalists" from "commentators" on these cable news channels AND news magazines. It is terribly hard, and sometimes impossible to tell the difference between the two.

10. I like that idea....loud mouth commentators should be identified as such
while real journalists should be identified as licensed professionals in journalism. I bet it ticks off real journalists that so many of these blow hard commentators pretend to be journalists and get away with it.

Welcome to DU, btw!

4. I Never Do...But Thanks For The Warning...
MSNBC doesn't get turned on here until David Schuester comes on in the afternoon. I put the Joey show in the same catagory with To Catch A Predator...worthless.

Joey got anything to say about his supporting terrorists who target women's health care providers? Didn't think so. He's worthless.

6. From what I saw the entire show was about drinking Starbucks and Joe's book.
It's a whole new concept in "morning news"!

5. I have seen maybe 45 minutes of that program several years ago.
Never wanted to watch it since.
They are both serious assholes, and I don't understand why they are on MSNBC - they are more Fox material, even CNN.

8. While flipping channels, I landed on Joe and Mika holding up
copies of newspaper front pages...one said "Obama Beach".

They both shook their head and made groaning noises without mentioning that it related to Gordon Brown's flub during his speech at Normandy.

CLICK!

11. BREAKING: Investigative journalists at MSNBC have just confirmed...
...that The Last Best Hope is "a real page-turner," and would make "a great Father's Day gift." :eyes:

13. I don't, and am surprised when people say they do; haven't watched one minute of one show
With those beady, mean spirited little eyes, Scarborough looks like a Salem witch burner and what's-her-name is at least imo so bitchy & vapid as to cancel out all that hard work her make-up people put in on that smirky, eye rolling face of hers
