Morning Joe

I was so happy to see Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney on today's show. Unfortunately, Joe was at his big mouth worst. He did his best to run Maloney off the rails. It is too bad because Joe has such good guests, but it is getting to painful to watch what he does to them.

It would be a lot better show if Joe would be considerate to his wife (Mika) and guests on the show and just shut up and let them talk!!! He is such an inconsiderate A..hole! I agree with most of what he says but I would like to hear others speak also and he is just SO RUDE!!!!! I'm getting pretty sick of it and will probably stop watching! Think I'll just record "First Look" instead! Much nicer people!!

I have been watching Morning Joe almost every morning since I retired 8 years ago. Either Joe is becoming more brash, interrupting constantly and barely listening to guests or I'm becoming more intolerant. He often treats Mika with disdain as well as some of the guests unless he really respects them. He actually listens to some of them such as Jon Meachem and a few others with seeming admiration but his favor falls on very few others. Fortunately, I tape the show and watch a little later so I can fast forward through commercials (my original purpose) and now through some of Joe's pontifications (too much time spent on sports, his constant interruptions and his time in Congress. Boring for those of us who have heard it countless times previously!) I also used to watch Don Lemon on CNN at night but have not yet seen him since him since he's moved to mornings. I have begun to tape his morning show to give me an alternative if needed. I hate to give up on Morning Joe because I enjoy it for the most part. Yesterday Joe was not there so Mika took the lead and it was such a relief! She allows talking among the guests but also knows when to reign it in! She is pure class. I enjoy the regulars such as Willie who is both professional and warm as well as Mike who is very thoughtful. Is anyone saying these things to those in charge at MSNBC?

I cannot know what is happening in Joe's life, but it has influenced his ability to focus on air. Cut your losses, take him off the air until his issues are resolved, and get him the help he needs. We are all stressed by our daily news, but his commentaries have gone too far.

I have to agree with most of the comments on here that Joe talks TOO MUCH and insists on interrupting everyone and talking over them. It is becoming unwatchable! There are days where you can tell by his smirk that he is doing it on purpose to Mika. It is equally annoying when the guys want to talk sports for the first 5-10 minutes (there are many of us who like sports) and Mika keeps trying to cut them off with "OK...", "OK..." every few seconds. I appreciate Willy's and Jonathan's style and I like most of the guests. Joe, if you ever read this - some friendly advice - CHILL! Let your guests speak. If you have gone on for more than 2 minutes, you have already spoken too much.
