Morning Joe

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.

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.

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?

After being a fan of Morning Joe for about 10 years I'm totally done with Mika and Joe. This is based on their decision to reconnect with Trump. It's like they sold themselves out. I used to watch because I was getting fair and honest news. Not so much after the election. There are other news outlets that are not kissing the ring. Morning Joe should be renamed to the morning phony news. Your viewers are quickly backing away.

Please take Morning Joe off the air and replace them with fair and honest opinions that viewers deserve.

Side note: This review ONLY reflects MJ. I still watch MSNBC after MJ is over.

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.
