MSNBC Morning Joe w/ Mika Good Friday Morning!

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

Chuck Todd coming up.

[bigdarryl]

1. Joe right off the bat came out and said people are accusing someone in Hillary's campaign

it is clearly this motherfucker is for Hillary getting the nomination. I never heard of Clinton being blamed for this until he mentioned it this morning.

[Horse with no Name]

3. then you mentioned KO's huge diatribe on it last night

and all the posts here at DU talking about it.
Joe didn't make this a story.

[my3boyz]

9. He made up the part about the Obama camp being the ones that said it

Olberman was reading from an NBC report.

[Exilednight]

47. KO never accused Hillary, he only reported that she was an ambasador under the Clinton admin. n/t

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

4. I missed all news yesterday. Are you talking about the passport thing?

[MADem]

5. Well, that would suggest he's for the OPPONENT to her.

You don't trash a candidate with an unsubstantiated rumor (and remember, it was the Obama camp that "alerted the media" on this entire situation) and support her.

[my3boyz]

10. I heard the Washington Post had their own sources so

technically they let the cat out of the bag. Then Obama camp did release a memo. However, they did not blame Hillary. They blamed the Bush Administration.

[MagickMuffin]

36. Last night it was reported it was the Washington Times, not the WaPo

there is more to this story that definitely needs investigating.

[shaniqua6392]

16. That is exactly what I thought when I heard him say that.

He just put it out there that Clinton looked at Obama's passport information because he hates her. Since Bill Clinton had the same thing happen to him, I rather doubt they would do the same thing to Obama. Besides MSNBC is the Obama Channel imo. They are not going to say anything negative about him. They haven't so far. I only watch it occasionally now because it is so unbalanced.

[my3boyz]

7. He went as far to say that the OBAMA camp is accusing the

Hillary campaign. He is such a liar. Mika is not any better than him because she allowed him to say that without correcting him. He just kept saying how lucky the Obama camp was that it came out. He said they have been given a gift for about 15 minutes. Then they started to show that crap about a "typical white". He said that would have been the headlines if this hadn't come up. OH and they DID NOT mention the Richardson endorsement AT ALL. Meanwhile, CNN (shocking) has had several reports on it. They even had that hack Candy Crowley up talking about it on the phone.

[izzie]

20. I am the 'grandmother' who had the grandmother that was

'typical white' person. Sorry but having lived so long I will say if your family does not have some of these people you have been under a rock. In that 'nice' 1950's and before and after world, people thought like that. This country was a WASP world like it or not. I believe you would find that ONLY WASP were even in our govt. running things. Kennedy was the one that broke this line and put other people in. Look at history people. Obama is just saying what went on even if Joe is trying to say that is not true. THat type thinking does not stop over night. It is so in a society that one does not even think of it being racist.

[elixir]

51. I agree w/ Joe that this "typical white person" stuff is pretty ugly.Is Obama a "typical black"?

and what is a "typical white person" anyway?

[Kahuna]

26. Sometimes Joe sounds just like sean hannity with his spin. nt

[susankh4]

42. Just like sometimes K.O. sounds like

Ann Coulter with a twist.

That's talk TV. Get used to it!

[rug]

48. You must read GDP more closely.

The Obama logo will speed your search.

[Horse with no Name]

2. are we now fans of the Dead Intern guy?

I guess he said something nice about obama.
Or are you just waiting to get your number crunch from Chuck Todd--the guy who started as a very very bad political analyst?:rofl:

[MADem]

6. Imus is way better...much more interesting.

I find that Scarborough UNWATCHABLE.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

8. I miss Imus. Joe is hard to watch, but I do like Chuck et Mika.

[my3boyz]

12. I did not like Imus either. He was such a fake. Pretended

he liked the Dems but could not wait to throw a candidate under the bus. Claimed he liked Kerry and bashed him every time he got a chance. He would be awful to watch now because he always put McCain up on a pedestal. I can only imagine how horrible he is towards Hillary and Barack.

[MADem]

28. He's an asshole, but he's an HONEST asshole. None of this

pretending to be fair while shoving a candidate down your throat. And he DOES allow for opposing views. He still does a great interview.

He's not putting McCain on a pedestal--he barely talks about him save to make fun of him. He and his team are enjoying the D race, mostly.

[PCIntern]

13. Chuck et Mika?

What did Mr. Mika have to say about that!!!??? Was she tasty?

:rofl:

[MADem]

23. Listen to him on the net. nt

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

30. I've tried, I can't get it to work.

[MADem]

33. Try this link.

http://www.imusonair.com/

Or WABC http://www.wabcradio.com/article.asp?id=531472

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

34. Thank You, It works! Imus!

[MADem]

37. Beats the hell out of tee vee!

He'll still piss you off at times, but at least the interviews are good...

[Berry Cool]

29. Joey is evil. Don Imus is Satan.

Or close to it. :rofl: What an ass. Hated just about everybody and everything but himself, used "weasel" as his constant pejorative, treated women like dirt, laughed at people getting cancer.

[MADem]

35. Laughed at people getting cancer?

You don't know that's his main charitable focus, kids with cancer? You do realize he's done a total "rehab" on his attitudes, and has "minders" (who are pretty damn funny) keeping him on the straight and narrow?

All I can say is, Imus's show is more interesting and more diverse now than "Morning Joe" has ever been or will hope to be. And he's still got those rock-steady interviews--you know, the kind of interview where he asks a question, and LETS THE PERSON ANSWER? Unless they're trying to "weasel" out of answering--then he calls them on it.

His ad askes "Do you know who SATAN REEEEEALLY is?"

He's better than that crap on MSGOP, IMO.

YMMV, and that's fine. You should watch/listen to whatever makes you happy.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

39. Joe has made mention many times on his shows about stopping at an orphanage on his way

into work in the morning. Is that a dumb jab at Imus? I never got the gist of that point, till now.

[MADem]

41. Say what you want about IMUS, but he's not cheap with the charity.

He really isn't. He gives himself, and he knows how to 'bundle' like a pro. If he ever did it for a candidate, instead of for cancer, autism, spina bifida, military rehab and that sort of thing, he could make Rezko look like a chump change collector.

He was a big donor to the rehab center for the Iraq vets in TX. BIG. And he bundled for that charity too, as well as for donations for family billeting for hospitalized military personnel. He was the one who was especially livid over conditions at WRAMC, and said Cheney should be hanged as a war criminal.

I don't think the guy is a saint by any means, but he does 'give back' and he does it more than most.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

43. HearHear. I'd start an Imus thread, but I don't think it would fly too well here.

[MADem]

44. Naaah, they hate him. Even though he's got vocal Obama supporters on his team.

They've got their preconceived notions. They can't let facts interfere.

The way I handle the media, is, if the tee vee or radio says something that pisses me off to the point where I am miserable, I change the channel!

Life is too short to listen to idiots!

[npincus]

11. Jeez... Joe humping the "Grandma" story

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

14. True that!

[PCIntern]

15. I dont' see what Joeywithdeadinterninoffice is so

upset about: he's a typical white racist southern good ol' boy. Nuthin' wrong with that...right, Governor Wallace?

[BklynChick]

17. I can't watching Morning Joe anymore period, don't care who the guests are.

[npincus]

19. I'm getting there, too. I used to think he tried to be "fair"

but think he's been pulled over to the dark side, and working hard to tear down Dems at all cost.

[BklynChick]

21. he tried, but in the past month or so he's gone over the deep end. i'm done, and mica is a wimp

[npincus]

25. true about Mica... we really need a David Schuster to be jousting w/Joe

I like Mika, but she is a wimp, does not pound on Joe and complete an argument.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

18. Andrea Mitchell coming up.

Nice to see Tiki on this morning /filling in for Willie.

[slinkerwink]

22. Richardson ednorses Obama!

[Kahuna]

24. Mika has had it with Joe. It's been building for a couple of weeks.

A while back someone posted a photo of Mika with the same pissed off expression that she has today with the caption: Don't get this woman pissed off.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

32. It's getting abit Toxic.

I'd guess it's not much fun on that set for the studio workers.

[Eurobabe]

27. Joe is still harping on Barack, I am dissing him

How can Mika stand this asswipe? I'd punch him in the face for some of the snarks he's made towards her.

[DainBramaged]

38. Joe Scumborough will NOT let the race baiting go

He's going to milk it no matter what happens with the passport breech.

[Eurobabe]

45. I switched over for a minute because I got tired of the killer sting ray on CNN

:eyes:

David Axelrod is on now.

[npincus]

31. NBC Today just HAMMERED Barack and his campaign

Lord in heaven.

[angie_love]

40. I know, I saw that. Is Joe Scarborough going to be on every fucking show

from now till the election? How can they have Joe Scarborough on the today show and not qualify him as a REPUBLICAN??!?! They used him as a political analyst and that asshole Matt Lauer agreed with everything he said.

Joe FUCKING LIED and said Obama was trying to tie Hillary to passportgate and Matt and Joe said it was "desperate".

I also see that Matt was trying to downplay passport gate as nothing more than "3 knuckleheads doing the equivalent of a google search".

And he emphasized the "typical white person" remark and Joe said white ppl don't like being told their racist.

I'm infuriated right now at this bias.

Before Hillary supporters get overjoyed, the skewered Hillary too about the Monica Lewinsky, I forgot what was said entirely though.

Of course McCain---no coverage.

I HATE MATT LAUER!!!!!!!

[npincus]

46. the MSM forgot their "journalist" is a f*cking Republican LOYALIST

it is just WRONG to have hin out there as a so-called political commentator. He is a former R-congressman and ideologically aligned with the Republican Party. What else should we expect from Joe S. in an election season. The corporate-owned MSM is f*cking weighted toward the party of corporate prosperity/ deregulation.

[MADem]

52. Scarborough is not a journalist. He's a pundit. Tweety is a pundit.

Shuster, Gregory, and --putatively, though he's biased as hell--Russert are "journalists." Andrea Mitchell? Journalist.

Fucker Carlson? Pundit. Dan Abrams? Pundit. Pat Buchanan? Pundit. Keith Olbermann? Sportscaster/Pundit.

It's a critical distinction. Pundits can shoot off their mouths howsoever they please.

Journalists are supposed to cover stories fairly, stick to facts, not "opine" and if they are repeating the opinions of others, to cite them and contrast them, and to do the full WHO/WHAT/WHEN/WHERE/WHY when covering a story.

Please note that I said "supposed to." They don't always cover the stories fairly.

[Exilednight]

49. You'll never see talking heads who have their own show on the same network.........

disagree with each other on live TV. They don't want to piss off someone who they have to see everyday, unless they're Olbermann working at ESPN.

[lightningandsnow]

50. Goddamnit, I thought you meant THIS Mika.
