Hey, Good Morning Mika Mouse....

So: did the Committee already fail in its mission?

You asked that question yesterday morning and perhaps you’ve received your answer.

As a point of personal privilege I don’t think these people should be allowed to get away with this stuff one morning to another. This isn’t a baseball commentator discussing the relative strengths and weaknesses of his or her team based upon how well the game turned out the night before , this is life and death for this democracy.

during TFG's 1st campaign. Every damned morning.

I find peace over at CNN with Brianna and John B.

So much more intelligence there.

she and joe are just two of DOZENS of soulless trash that would sell their own mother for a ratings bump.

No ethical journalistic blood in the veins. Just sitting on their stool to stir "news" for personal profit.

fox was clearly implicated in their fawning boot licking...but DOZENS of other unscrupulous bottom feeders are just as qualified to join fox...if the price was right.

Haven't been able to stomach those two clowns on tv, video or elsewhere. They are equivalent to listening to lipstick-on-a-pig ramble on.

Trash.

Your point is taken, but I have to tell you that the act of turning a television off in my opinion is not going to alter the manner in which these people cover events. Public commentary and criticism, followed by groundswells of disapproval often cause people to think twice about saying stupid stuff in the media.

Mika's comment yesterday ("will it make a difference&quot was a perfectly reasonable question to raise. Far too many people seem uncomfortable hearing points of view they don't agree with.

She's certainly not my favorite just from her absolute lack of grasping popular culture - you can't interpret the news without understanding the landscape in which it takes place in and is a reflection of.

I've continually found this program in particular useful for understanding how a lot of long-time conservatives have tried to deal with the rise of not just trump but the fascism and more coming from that side. Understanding how they're working through it, pushing against it, and simply reporting and talking about it provides for ways to try and break through with others that aren't.

But they basically sounded like DU has sounded for the past 18 months in regards to everything with the insurrection.

As for the thing attributed to Mika, you heard that up and down the line from *every* MSNBC pundit/talking head yesterday. And beyond. You hear that before practically any big event like this in the past six years.

As to your last piece, I look forward to seeing how you would like to regulate opinion shows going forward.

I said nothing about regulating shows, I suppose I’m no longer permitted to question the motivation of any of the favorite sons and daughters on the air.

Amazing! No, not what she said but that Joe shut up long enough for her to say anything. Last nerve gotten on.
