Scarborough thinks that Morning Joe was too "left wing" last week.

He was out on vacation all last week and his first topic out of his mouth today was that the show was like a gathering at Red Square.

I watched MJ all week last week, it SHOULD have been more progressive than it was, however with Joe out it was still quite decent. Unfortunately he is back today, therefor I am going to watch a Steven Seagal film instead.

I like CBS This Morning ..Gale King, Charlie Rose....its a mix with interviews ..It definitely doesn't evoke nausea or push my buttons.

... and it wasn't as painful as I thought it would be.

I certainly don't miss cable news which I mostly boycotted anyway.

...and I've only had the tv on for ten minutes.

He's letting Santorum spew unabated, back pedaling one minute, claiming he's a victim of "gotcha" questions, then launching right back into his God tirades in the very next breath.

Of course, no one challenges him.

They have to use the same language as the rest of us and not their own wildly different definitions for the same words.

Joe, if that's your definition of "left wing" and "gathering at Red Square", let's borrow from Mitt-fan Jeff Foxworthy: you might just be a radical right-winger.

from DU. I wouldn't pollute my tv with Dead Intern Joe. Nor do I with the Mandibular Masturbator, Chris Matthews.

If I wanted to listen to right wing talking points, I'd watch Fox News, they are much better at it.
