Lawrence is like a rogue anchor now . He chewed garricks ass and other msnbc people for complancey. So far i like Lawrence, Joy , Ari and Stephanie.

Lots of actions during this election?

This Joe act compares to Bezos and the Washington Post?

No one is good for their word anymore! It is all money and social/political climbing?

How much can be made and high can we climb??

Maybe Mika and Joe are looking for a place to spend New Year’s Eve? Again.

Nobody who has a backbone and a modicum of self respect should be watching ANY MSNBC . If they do, they are not teaching the network anything. A decent news network would have fired both Joe and Mika . But they haven’t so they are all as bad as everyone else who cannot respect the necessity to be committed to BEING 100 % PATRIOTIC !!

I think you’ve stumbled into way too much truth for your comfort level, Josh. MSNBC is an increasingly garbage network that’s swirling the drain. Yet here you are defending it. Why’s that? I smell the ole right wing troll stench. As someone else said here, kindly exit stage left, Josh.

If they did, I might consider watching their shows still, especially if they call them out and criticize them for bending the knee. But if they don't, then in my book they are complicit too.

I agree because they have not formally spoken out, I made a choice to stop listening to them on MSNBC. Maybe they think their voices are so important to keep on air, but they have lost me as a viewer. I used to care and trusted that Network. Network what a fool I was.

Michael Steele called them both out. I’m truly disappointed but have continued to watch although not faithfully as I did. I am curious why they behaved as thy did and hope they’ll reveal it.

You should really look into who owns all corporate media. Your head might spin. They are, indeed, corporate masters, the billionaires in Trump’s pocket. Go do some research.

So if they spin BOTH sides...one side is "THE TRUTH" isn't it? Just listen to that side and yell at the TV about the other.

And Ben never mentions the down to earth panelists on Morning Joe (MJ). I think they're great...don't you?

BTW...Isn't "THE TRUTH" Trump's company line?

I pretty much stopped watching Morning Joe awhile ago but won't ever watch it again now. I still like Rachel and Chris Hayes too. I was glad to hear Katie Phang spoke up against what Mika and Joe did. Did anyone else on MSNBC? Also, I wonder what the future is for MSNBC with Comcast splitting off them and a number of other channels....

“Normalizing Trump is a bad idea. Period.”

Another staff member said “Katie Phang is right. It’s normalization (and it’s access bulls–t) … Journalists don’t need access to their subjects to hold them to account. None of it is believable. The obvious answer is believable: They are opportunists.”

Josh - you give up on Meidas? Why? I'm sorry, but your reasoning is so flawed. Please think about it. They went to kiss Trumps rear end for their paychecks - it is plain and simple. Just like all corporate main stream Media. Do you think if Hannity wasn't making $25M a year he would spew continual lies all day long? He wouldn't but he wants to live in his castle and will do anything to stay there - just like all the other phonies at Fox, CNN, MSNBC etc

Why criticize others just because they don’t think like you do? If people don’t wanna watch morning Joe that’s fine with me. I’m not watching them either. But I’m not gonna criticize people that do or people that don’t. We have too much of that critical negativity.

Crissy Bellon's avatar

I don't think Meidas is criticizing us for watching them, I just think that they are informing us, and they have a strong opinion about it. MSNBC was one of my 'safe spaces' at a time when it seemed almost everyone was justifying and normalizing tRumps behavior, and also making wishy-washy flip-flop ping normal. I made a decision not to watch Joe & Mika anymore before I saw this, and I thought, wow, these guys are more pissed than I am about it! I guess it might feel like when one of your few allies crosses to the other side, making the ship seem even more abandoned.

I’m not surprised at their narcissistic poses. I remember, particularly, some pics of them maybe 10 years ago with Mika showing off her sexy legs and Joe appearing to be the lucky man with her. I also remember thinking, “What do these shots have to do with news? Who cares that you came out for a photo shoot to show us how in love you are?” Let’s also keep in mind that Mika has completely given up her place as a serious woman (ho-ho-ho, know your value much?) and been absorbed into good ol’ boy Joe’s unending walks down memory lane and recollections of his Baptist upbringing which I sure as hell couldn’t care less about.

Never trusted them fully after the 2016 attacks on Hillary but they seemed to be fully against fascism band and supportive of reproductive rights. Really liked their guest panels. After the Mar a Lago incident when ppl were justifiably shocked that they were normalizing him then Joe tried to gaslight us and say we were not in the normal world. That really ticked me off. Didn’t Trump proclaim that they should investigate Joe for murdering his intern? Is that normal or presidential? Ignoring constitution? Villainizing legal immigrants? I could go on. No he is not in the normal world.
