Morning Joe

I really like Morning Joe but you are starting to lose a loyal listener. It is 6:12 AM and Joe and all are STILL talking about football, which is not unusual. I tune in elsewhere when this happens and will continue to do so. I can get sports at ESPN! This will alienate many viewers if it has not already. Please reconsider this sports content. Those first 12 to 15 minutes is when I decide if I will stay tuned in or switch the channel. Often lately I find myself at CNN due to this excessive spots talking at MSNBC. There are so many outlets for sports and I never see them covering news or politics! Stay in your lane for the sake of your loyal viewers. LC.

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.

I'm a long time watcher of Morning Joe. I've about had it with Joe who just does not seem to know when to shut up. As a regular watcher his repetitive and lame verbiage including his incessant reminders about his time in Congress are to me like nails on a black board. Further he constantly restates the obvious which for the show's well informed audience has to be galling and insulting. Dump the silly banter about sports which seems to have become a regular feature. There are plenty of sports channels.

MSNBC has a LOT of opinion shows and I tend to be of the same opinion as theirs with respect to what has happened in the US since 2016. Many MSNBC hosts however, take up far too much time stating their opinion and not asking their guests questions and then letting the guests answer. Joe Scarborough is one of the worst - going on and on in a rambling fashion that ends in a 5 minute interview being 4 minutes of Joe and 1 minute of the guest. If Joe wants us to know his opinion he should do a separate segment, announce the topic and then have his rant. When he moves on in segments to asking a guest for information or opinions he should ask a straight question and let the guest answer. I can't stand FOX news because it tries to shove host's opinions down my throat and I resent MSNBC and Joe doing exactly the same thing. It is not helpful and does not promote healthy debate and respect for each other.

Like the show except for pompous, interrupting, stuttering Joe Scarborough and excessive sports talk. Maybe redo the show as Morning Mika or even better Wake up with Willie.
