The full article is on NewsBusters! On Friday, Morning Joe made everyone wish they had just stayed in bed by having New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay come on the show. Her dangerous anti-Republican rhetoric included calling the Republican Party’s behavior in the wake of the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago “treasonous” and “stomach churning.” Gay lectured viewers: “Patriotism is not simply…

Read the full article on NewsBusters! Morning Joe tried to get viewers’ tears flowing for democracy on Tuesday by bringing on Florida state attorney, Democrat, and lefty-caterer Andrew Warren.

The full article is on NewsBusters! Everyone is thankful it’s Friday—except for the fact that it’s still a weekday, which means MSNBC’s Morning Joe is on. The way Joe Scarborough and crew made viewers regret turning on their TVs again was by ripping into Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL), just because they wanted to find an excuse to rant about the GOP.

The full article is on NewsBusters! Wednesday’s Morning Joe was once again just Joe Scarborough and company reiterating the exact same things they’ve ranted about before. It seems like they know viewers just use this show as background noise while they make their breakfast, scroll through their phones, maybe even complete a newspaper crossword puzzle.

The full article is on NewsBusters! Now that the January 6 hearings are taking a hiatus before its new season, it seems like Morning Joe is struggling to find things to gripe about. So on Tuesday, they decided to conduct an experiment using Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA), hoping he’d be a pawn in their plot to push their pro-abortion agenda. Their experiment worked. The show’s main host, former U.S.…

The full article is on NewsBusters! It is Thursday, and on this edition of Morning Joe, barely a word uttered about January 6! The main highlight this time was the GDP numbers being released, and the show’s relief host Willie Geist did not seem too happy about what these numbers represent: America in a recession. To sum it up, these GDP numbers “show another contraction for a second consecutive…

The full article is on NewsBusters!
