MarkF | September 29, 2015 Good ol' Mike Barnicle dutifully carried Dem water this morning, proclaiming Hillary Clinton a "strong" candidate. But also on the Morning Joe set was Nicolle Wallace, who reported that "Democrats think she's terrible. I hope [Biden] doesn't run, because he's better than her."For good measure, Mark Halperin opined that Biden might want to wait until February, on the theory that if Bernie Sanders…
MarkF | September 28, 2015 Wait a second: wasn't it just this month that Hillary's handlers announced they were going to have her show a warm 'n fuzzy side, with more "heart?" So who was the genius who coached Clinton to announce that as president she would "impose much harsher restrictions" on financial institutions under Dodd-Frank. "Much harsher restrictions?" Brr! Isn't that the Stone Cold Hillary Clinton whose image…
MarkF | September 28, 2015 Don't put that popcorn-popper away just yet . . . On today's Morning Joe, Chuck Todd said he felt that in his Meet The Press interview of Hillary Clinton yesterday, she was trying to signal to her Dem supporters that there could be more damaging revelations to come on the email scandal.Todd was alluding to the moment in the interview in which Hillary agreed with his characterization that there…

MarkF | September 23, 2015 To quote the Church Lady: isn't that conve-e-e-e-nient?
On Chris Hayes' MSNBC show tonight, Dem congressman Luis Gutierrez claimed that while he found the church's teachings on abortion and gay rights "difficult" [but not difficult enough to change his typically liberal positions], you can't really argue the Pope's positions on illegal immigration and income redistribution.
MarkF | September 21, 2015 John Heilemann was a rather reluctant witness. But when called on to testify, so to speak, on today's Morning Joe, he confirmed a stunning fact: that during the 2008 presidential race, it was Hillary Clinton's campaign that started the rumor that Barack Obama might not be a Christian.

MarkF | September 18, 2015 Maybe next week, Chris Hayes will share his views on Area 51, whether fire can melt steel and if the moon landing was faked . . .
On his MSNBC show this evening, Hayes floated the notion that the guy who told Donald Trump that President Obama is a Muslim was a plant. According to Chris, although the moment seemed to have happened "organically" [yes, but was it free range?], "who knows?"…
MarkF | September 18, 2015 In the view of this NewsBuster, Hugh Hewitt is the ablest conservative interviewer on radio. So it was surprising to see him serve as such a loyal CNN soldier on today's Morning Joe.Hewitt, a member of the CNN panel at Wednesday's GOP debate, refused to complain about the paltry opportunities he was given to question the candidates. And discussing the fact that Donald Trump had been given more…
MarkF | September 17, 2015 It's one thing for there to be a consensus among conservatives that Carly Fiorina was outstanding at last night's debate. But to hear a string of superlatives about Carly coming from committed liberal Mika Brzezinski was breathtaking.Over the course of today's Morning Joe, there was a stream of praise for Fiorina from Mika, capped by this: "my God, I have never seen anyone like her. Ever."
