So long as the ratings for Morning Joe are higher than any of the "liberals" that are on in the afternoon and evening, he will remain ensconced in his "conservative" seat at MSNBC. Obviously, he can do no wrong in the eyes of the big shots at MSNBC?
Never mind that he is the most rude host on television, including on the FOX News Network. Where else can someone so loud and abusive maintain his position? He likes to brag that he knows Phil Griffin, the President of MSNBC, and that he lets him know when he might disagree with something one of the "liberals" might say on air, for example, Martin Bashir.
And what in the world is with Mika Brzezinski? She sits there like an abused animal as Joe rudely interrupts and dismisses her viewpoint with a crude comment or a stupid smile and a question for Willie Geist or another of his "yes men" on the show. They smile uncomfortably as he gets louder and louder as if he were saying something humorous, instead of just rude.
MSNBC can never be anything worthwhile so long as they have loudmouths like Joe Scarborough setting the agenda on his morning show.

(182,830 posts)He is a hack and I would say that Mika is given one-liners to say "that is ridiculous".
I have to say that they appear to spend a considerable amount of time shooting still pics around NYC.
The funny thing is that when Don Imus melted down they had a choice. Stephanie Miller was the obvious choice (not bad on the eyes) but they went with Joe and the glaring Starbucks product promotion. My brother had a discussion at Thanksgiving and Robin Meade's name came up (because we are lead to mention WHO we heard things from) and I replied, "Well I like Robin Mead. If I am going to be lied to I want some D's staring me in the face"

(2,679 posts)He is the rudest person that hosts a news program on all of American television. The talking heads on Fox are many things, idiots is generally the term that comes to mind. However rude is not usually the first thing on my list of reasons to loathe the right propaganda channel. Expect for Hannity rude does come to mind but I still think Joe is worse. Hannity is on for only an hour Joe gets three.
