To add insult to injury after their Mar-a-Lago trip, where they bent the knee to Trump, and then claimed on their show that “normal people” are proud of them for their actions, Joe and Mika started posting photos of themselves on social media today with captions like “A Beautiful Day in the Park ❤️.” They even disabled the ability for people to comment on their posts.
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. I enjoy a few of the other journalists like Ari, Rachel, Lawrence, Nicole & Stephanie! I’m not ready to abandon MSNBC.
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.
I can't believe they haven't they called out when they were going to hire the republican gal. for NBC "Sorry can't remember her name right off hand? Old age.." But, I also have been waiting for them to say something?
You should consider giving up ALL MSNBC programming. It's all part of the same compromised ball of wax. They're too busy serving their corporate masters to worry about journalistic integrity, much less you or me.
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. This is why we are all here - because we are seeking THE TRUTH, not the both sides crap that these spinners of falsehoods put out there.
ok I'm a bit confused...just so I'm clear here...you are Josh # 2....the Ruski spybot ? ...pissing and moaning about Ben complaining about Joe S. and his wife Mika as if that should be out of bounds and not relevant for their actions ? .... fill me in here, correct me if I'm wrong.
Because I prefer NOT to be insulted and made a fool of, that's why. I can use my brain elsewhere, with people who are worthy of trust, and do not cow-tow to the Big Orange Idiot.
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....
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.”
And I've given up on Meidas. What a stupid crusade against Joe and Mika. Just watch the show and note that NOTHING is different. BTW...where are you going to effect change by bitching about them? You won't. You're so enamored of yourself you can't. Hmm...just like Trump.
You’ve given up on Meidas for telling the TRUTH about these two Trump ass kissing cowards?? That’s rich. Here’s the door, friend. See yourself out. Byeeee! ✌️
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.
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.
Well, I cannot imagine why they would do this, but I think they have irreversibly damaged their good name and their show. I know I will never watch it again!
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.
I actually stopped watching in August - showing was really bothering about their show. Keith Olbermann had warned us and I think that put tup my red flag. Now it all makes sense! As I told them in my email, “by-by”!
I was very disappointed in the news of them going to MAL to kiss ass. I thought more of both of them and like this country, they disappointed me. I gave up on CNN over 20 years ago for MSNBC, and now I'm only getting my political news from MTN.
I'm not worried about Morning Joe as they probably are trying to make the "king" happy. I have said it many times before but will say it again: Meidas Touch is the best of all the rest and I will get my morning joe from my own coffee pot and do not need to watch them.
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.
They have crossed the line by going to Florida to meet a deranged loonatic who will share their pathetic meeting and twist the knife on social media 🤬 I am embarrassed to say I used to watch and enjoy morning Joe 🤨 but that's all changed I will never ever watch either of them ever again, no wonder people are leaving the corporate media en masse and turning to the best news people (MEIDAS) for honest, independent and factual coverage. Never give up Never surrender 💪
I was a big fan of theirs. That was my best morning show in the mornings. Even recorded so when I got up I could see from beginning. I am lost for words on this. I will not support their channel anymore. Just sad they turned their backs no different than being a maga supporter for him?
I love watching Rachel and Lawrence in the evenings will continue watching them. I now don't watch much of MSNBC just tired of them giving the orang buffoon too much air.
I've quit watching and following Morning Joe but can't totally give up MSNBC as I still watch Rachel and Lawrence.
Yes, I still watch Rachel and Lawrence too. But adios Morning Joe!
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.
mighty meidas people can be trusted. We don't back down. We are true to our word. If we say it--we mean it
I am dedicated to Lawrence also joy reid is good and Chris Hayes
I'm keeping Rachel and Jen Psaki but bye bye joe & mika!
Has any other anchor on MSNBC made comments about J&M?
Not sure but i do know Lawrence criticized a few for playing into the republicon hands .
Thanks. Appreciate your information.
I do too, but I'm still having a hard time watching them at this time.
Only ones I would watch.
Forgot about Joy and Ari, like them too but don't get to see Stephanie enough to decide yet.
I agree with you. Lawrence and Rachel are the only ones I watch on YouTube not on MSNBC!
Wondering if either of them addressed the Joe and Mika situation...?
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. I enjoy a few of the other journalists like Ari, Rachel, Lawrence, Nicole & Stephanie! I’m not ready to abandon MSNBC.
Not yet
I wish Rachel and Lawrence would resign in protest. I’d follow them wherever they went.
Me also !! My two faves.
They won't resign because there's no need to. Ben is stirring up a pot of nothing.
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.
Okay you have said this so many times it is quite clear someone is paying you to start something.
We’re not taking the bait.
Lawrence O’Donnell is an extraordinary journalist. THE best.
I can't believe they haven't they called out when they were going to hire the republican gal. for NBC "Sorry can't remember her name right off hand? Old age.." But, I also have been waiting for them to say something?
No you're wrong on that .
Ditto
You should consider giving up ALL MSNBC programming. It's all part of the same compromised ball of wax. They're too busy serving their corporate masters to worry about journalistic integrity, much less you or me.
Lawrence and Nicole are awesome!
I still like Chris Hayes
And "corporate masters"...talk about Fascism language!
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. This is why we are all here - because we are seeking THE TRUTH, not the both sides crap that these spinners of falsehoods put out there.
And they aint liberal rich media moguls either
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?
Where is the lie?
Why not keep watching and simutaneously use your brain? Not Ben's diatribe?
ok I'm a bit confused...just so I'm clear here...you are Josh # 2....the Ruski spybot ? ...pissing and moaning about Ben complaining about Joe S. and his wife Mika as if that should be out of bounds and not relevant for their actions ? .... fill me in here, correct me if I'm wrong.
Me is PRO Joe & Mika. Just a chance crosssing I guess.
I think you meant to go to the smaller app down the street......you don't even care what you've help create, do you?
Sorry, Josh, but Ben is spot on, as usual.
duh, cause it shows you support a network that lies and gaslights us for money
Ben’s diatribe? Hardly. You must not like facts.
Because I prefer NOT to be insulted and made a fool of, that's why. I can use my brain elsewhere, with people who are worthy of trust, and do not cow-tow to the Big Orange Idiot.
Zero people on Meidas cow-tow to the Big Orange Idiot. Zero. Perhaps you are confused or this was meant for another SM platform?
Kissed the ring lately yourself?
No. Some people on msnbc are smokin hot truth tellers . Except Willie Geist, that herd of brown nosed suckerfish on Morning 'Doh' gotta go .
10-4
I did, the day after the election.
I'm gone too!
They are TREASURES. I love them both so much.
But I’m done. I had to do it. Cut the cord. I will no longer support MSNBC.
Maybe Rachel and Lawrence can join forces with Meidas!!! Stranger things have happened. 🙏✨💪😎
In the meantime, we can support Rachel’s podcast and I guess watch Lawrence on old West Wing reruns!?
Lawrence also has a podcast of his Last Word show
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....
What did Katie Phang say?
“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.”
Same here. I like Rachel and Lawrence and Chris Matthews.
Chris Matthew's...?
Chris Hayes - oops!
I decided to go cold turkey and never watch msnbc again at all.
Likewise. The thing to remember is Joe Scarborough was originally a Republican so it's not hard for him to regress.
I agree but I also love Jen Psaki in addition to Rachel and Lawrence.
And I've given up on Meidas. What a stupid crusade against Joe and Mika. Just watch the show and note that NOTHING is different. BTW...where are you going to effect change by bitching about them? You won't. You're so enamored of yourself you can't. Hmm...just like Trump.
You’ve given up on Meidas for telling the TRUTH about these two Trump ass kissing cowards?? That’s rich. Here’s the door, friend. See yourself out. Byeeee! ✌️
👆👆🎯👏👏👏👏👏It's not the airport here, why do right-wingers always announce their departures?
Hi Joe.
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
I didn't. The other Josh says he is in favor of Benedict Scarborough and Co.
Sorry, I was having trouble following - certainly wasn't for you :).
Josh could be a bott.
Anyone that attacks Meidas could be picking up rubles on the side.
Yea....if you do not dig it here.....take a trip down the street to the other web site.
Get lost Josh.....Please exit stage right
This is not an airport no need to announce your departure just go away or back to fox troll boy. Seriously why are you here?
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.
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.

I guess it might feel like when one of your few allies crosses to the other side, making the ship seem even more abandoned.
Why criticize? Because the loyal viewers of MJ feel betrayed. I do, anyway. That's why.
You are so wrong and obviously belong on the other side. Blind, too, I guess
JOSH! Meidas isn’t the only news outlet that thinks what Joe and Mika did was a complete betrayal to the truth.
DonOLD doesn’t deserve ONE scintilla of respect. His Cabinet nominations should be a slap in the face to you. He is mocking everything we stand for.
Your a$swiping of Joe & Mika is kinda creepy. You are suspect on ALL levels, and I guarantee you, no one is paying attention to your nonsense.
Another Russia. Troll
Dah vasha padrooga dah (josh)
Never cared for that rethug Joe, and Mika is stupid. Love Rachel and Lawrence, but Joy is my girl! Love love love her show!
Me too and I like Nichole and Jen and on weekends Velshi and Willie.too.
Me too
Me too. I only watch Rachel and Lawrence now on msnbc.
Well, I cannot imagine why they would do this, but I think they have irreversibly damaged their good name and their show. I know I will never watch it again!
I’m not surprised, when he ran in 2016 they were his best buddies. Always on their show. I stopped watching them after that.
Me too!
Are you the same jerk you were back in 2016? Trying being up to date.
We know it's you, Joe.
🤣🤣🤣
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.

& this is why MeidasTouch is better
I actually stopped watching in August - showing was really bothering about their show. Keith Olbermann had warned us and I think that put tup my red flag. Now it all makes sense! As I told them in my email, “by-by”!
Keith Olberman is Republican and hasn't been on msnvc in a long time.
He’s a Democrat. Do your research.
Go back to the Q john !
Well, that’s pretty dumb
Republican
“Siri, what political party is Keith Olbermann in?”
AI is telling you what your heart should be saying to you ...also my Hispanic friend calls it, Ai !
As in Ai- yai-yaii !!!
I .
If you’re really that committed to being objectively wrong about an easy-to-verify fact, have at it. Lots of people are ignorant, why not you too :-)
Two rich white people thumbing their noses at Americans. Looks just like trump and musk-rat...
Never liked them. Never watched. Adam Kinzinger is also telling those who think they'll come after those who expoae the truth to stick it.
I was very disappointed in the news of them going to MAL to kiss ass. I thought more of both of them and like this country, they disappointed me. I gave up on CNN over 20 years ago for MSNBC, and now I'm only getting my political news from MTN.
We all are, gratefully
I'm not worried about Morning Joe as they probably are trying to make the "king" happy. I have said it many times before but will say it again: Meidas Touch is the best of all the rest and I will get my morning joe from my own coffee pot and do not need to watch them.
Everybody should look at Stephen Spoonamore’s work and the letter that he wrote to VP Harris. The vote numbers don’t add up.
But is anyone investigating?????????
Exactly!!! Like WTACTUALFACK IS ANYONE DOING ABOUT THIS??? Don’t they work for us?

I haven't turned on Morning Joe since I read they went down to kiss the mushroom.
I was a big fan of theirs. That was my best morning show in the mornings. Even recorded so when I got up I could see from beginning. I am lost for words on this. I will not support their channel anymore. Just sad they turned their backs no different than being a maga supporter for him?
I love watching Rachel and Lawrence in the evenings will continue watching them. I now don't watch much of MSNBC just tired of them giving the orang buffoon too much air.
Love Meidas Touch though!
How can we ever listen to them again when they pretend to agree with whomever is in power. Flip Flop. And Flip again.
