I've quit watching and following Morning Joe but can't totally give up MSNBC as I still watch Rachel and Lawrence.

Yes, I still watch Rachel and Lawrence too. But adios Morning Joe!

Expand full comment

Lawrence is like a rogue anchor now . He chewed garricks ass and other msnbc people for complancey. So far i like Lawrence, Joy , Ari and Stephanie.

Expand full comment

Lots of actions during this election?

This Joe act compares to Bezos and the Washington Post?

No one is good for their word anymore! It is all money and social/political climbing?

How much can be made and high can we climb??

Maybe Mika and Joe are looking for a place to spend New Year’s Eve? Again.

mighty meidas people can be trusted. We don't back down. We are true to our word. If we say it--we mean it

This is so true and so refreshing .

Expand full comment

Has any other anchor on MSNBC made comments about J&M?

Expand full comment

Not sure but i do know Lawrence criticized a few for playing into the republicon hands .

Expand full comment

Thanks. Appreciate your information.

Expand full comment

I am dedicated to Lawrence also joy reid is good and Chris Hayes

Expand full comment

I'm keeping Rachel and Jen Psaki but bye bye joe & mika!

Expand full comment

I do too, but I'm still having a hard time watching them at this time.

Expand full comment

Only ones I would watch.

Expand full comment

Forgot about Joy and Ari, like them too but don't get to see Stephanie enough to decide yet.

Expand full comment

I agree with you. Lawrence and Rachel are the only ones I watch on YouTube not on MSNBC!

Expand full comment

Wondering if either of them addressed the Joe and Mika situation...?

Expand full comment

Nobody who has a backbone and a modicum of self respect should be watching ANY MSNBC . If they do, they are not teaching the network anything. A decent news network would have fired both Joe and Mika . But they haven’t so they are all as bad as everyone else who cannot respect the necessity to be committed to BEING 100 % PATRIOTIC !!

Expand full comment

I wish Rachel and Lawrence would resign in protest. I’d follow them wherever they went.

Expand full comment

Me also !! My two faves.

Expand full comment

They won't resign because there's no need to. Ben is stirring up a pot of nothing.

I think you’ve stumbled into way too much truth for your comfort level, Josh. MSNBC is an increasingly garbage network that’s swirling the drain. Yet here you are defending it. Why’s that? I smell the ole right wing troll stench. As someone else said here, kindly exit stage left, Josh.

Expand full comment

Okay you have said this so many times it is quite clear someone is paying you to start something.

We’re not taking the bait.

Expand full comment

Lawrence O’Donnell is an extraordinary journalist. THE best.

Expand full comment

I can't believe they haven't they called out when they were going to hire the republican gal. for NBC "Sorry can't remember her name right off hand? Old age.." But, I also have been waiting for them to say something?

Expand full comment

No you're wrong on that .

Expand full comment

If they did, I might consider watching their shows still, especially if they call them out and criticize them for bending the knee. But if they don't, then in my book they are complicit too.

Expand full comment

I agree because they have not formally spoken out, I made a choice to stop listening to them on MSNBC. Maybe they think their voices are so important to keep on air, but they have lost me as a viewer. I used to care and trusted that Network. Network what a fool I was.

Expand full comment

Not yet

Expand full comment

Ditto

Expand full comment

You should consider giving up ALL MSNBC programming. It's all part of the same compromised ball of wax. They're too busy serving their corporate masters to worry about journalistic integrity, much less you or me.

Expand full comment

Lawrence and Nicole are awesome!

Expand full comment

And "corporate masters"...talk about Fascism language!

Expand full comment

You should really look into who owns all corporate media. Your head might spin. They are, indeed, corporate masters, the billionaires in Trump’s pocket. Go do some research. This is why we are all here - because we are seeking THE TRUTH, not the both sides crap that these spinners of falsehoods put out there.

Expand full comment

And they aint liberal rich media moguls either

Expand full comment

So if they spin BOTH sides...one side is "THE TRUTH" isn't it? Just listen to that side and yell at the TV about the other.

And Ben never mentions the down to earth panelists on Morning Joe (MJ). I think they're great...don't you?

BTW...Isn't "THE TRUTH" Trump's company line?

Expand full comment

Where is the lie?

Expand full comment

Why not keep watching and simutaneously use your brain? Not Ben's diatribe?

Expand full comment

ok I'm a bit confused...just so I'm clear here...you are Josh # 2....the Ruski spybot ? ...pissing and moaning about Ben complaining about Joe S. and his wife Mika as if that should be out of bounds and not relevant for their actions ? .... fill me in here, correct me if I'm wrong.

Expand full comment

Me is PRO Joe & Mika. Just a chance crosssing I guess.

Expand full comment

I think you meant to go to the smaller app down the street......you don't even care what you've help create, do you?

Expand full comment

duh, cause it shows you support a network that lies and gaslights us for money

Expand full comment

Sorry, Josh, but Ben is spot on, as usual.

Expand full comment

Ben’s diatribe? Hardly. You must not like facts.

Expand full comment

Because I prefer NOT to be insulted and made a fool of, that's why. I can use my brain elsewhere, with people who are worthy of trust, and do not cow-tow to the Big Orange Idiot.

Expand full comment

Zero people on Meidas cow-tow to the Big Orange Idiot. Zero. Perhaps you are confused or this was meant for another SM platform?

Expand full comment

Kissed the ring lately yourself?

Expand full comment

Now this is a comment I can respect . Well said .

Expand full comment

No. Some people on msnbc are smokin hot truth tellers . Except Willie Geist, that herd of brown nosed suckerfish on Morning 'Doh' gotta go .

I did, the day after the election.

Expand full comment

I'm gone too!

Expand full comment

They are TREASURES. I love them both so much.

But I’m done. I had to do it. Cut the cord. I will no longer support MSNBC.

Maybe Rachel and Lawrence can join forces with Meidas!!! Stranger things have happened. 🙏✨💪😎

In the meantime, we can support Rachel’s podcast and I guess watch Lawrence on old West Wing reruns!?

Expand full comment

Lawrence also has a podcast of his Last Word show

Expand full comment

I pretty much stopped watching Morning Joe awhile ago but won't ever watch it again now. I still like Rachel and Chris Hayes too. I was glad to hear Katie Phang spoke up against what Mika and Joe did. Did anyone else on MSNBC? Also, I wonder what the future is for MSNBC with Comcast splitting off them and a number of other channels....

Expand full comment

What did Katie Phang say?

Expand full comment

“Normalizing Trump is a bad idea. Period.”

Another staff member said “Katie Phang is right. It’s normalization (and it’s access bulls–t) … Journalists don’t need access to their subjects to hold them to account. None of it is believable. The obvious answer is believable: They are opportunists.”

Expand full comment

Same here. I like Rachel and Lawrence and Chris Matthews.

Expand full comment

Chris Matthew's...?

Expand full comment

I decided to go cold turkey and never watch msnbc again at all.

Expand full comment

Likewise. The thing to remember is Joe Scarborough was originally a Republican so it's not hard for him to regress.

Expand full comment

I agree but I also love Jen Psaki in addition to Rachel and Lawrence.

Expand full comment

And I've given up on Meidas. What a stupid crusade against Joe and Mika. Just watch the show and note that NOTHING is different. BTW...where are you going to effect change by bitching about them? You won't. You're so enamored of yourself you can't. Hmm...just like Trump.

Expand full comment

You’ve given up on Meidas for telling the TRUTH about these two Trump ass kissing cowards?? That’s rich. Here’s the door, friend. See yourself out. Byeeee! ✌️

Expand full comment

👆👆🎯👏👏👏👏👏It's not the airport here, why do right-wingers always announce their departures?

Expand full comment

Hi Joe.

Expand full comment

Josh - you give up on Meidas? Why? I'm sorry, but your reasoning is so flawed. Please think about it. They went to kiss Trumps rear end for their paychecks - it is plain and simple. Just like all corporate main stream Media. Do you think if Hannity wasn't making $25M a year he would spew continual lies all day long? He wouldn't but he wants to live in his castle and will do anything to stay there - just like all the other phonies at Fox, CNN, MSNBC etc

Expand full comment

I didn't. The other Josh says he is in favor of Benedict Scarborough and Co.

Expand full comment

Sorry, I was having trouble following - certainly wasn't for you :).

Expand full comment

Josh could be a bott.

Anyone that attacks Meidas could be picking up rubles on the side.

Yea....if you do not dig it here.....take a trip down the street to the other web site.

Get lost Josh.....Please exit stage right

Expand full comment

This is not an airport no need to announce your departure just go away or back to fox troll boy. Seriously why are you here?

Expand full comment

Why criticize others just because they don’t think like you do? If people don’t wanna watch morning Joe that’s fine with me. I’m not watching them either. But I’m not gonna criticize people that do or people that don’t. We have too much of that critical negativity.

Expand full comment

I don't think Meidas is criticizing us for watching them, I just think that they are informing us, and they have a strong opinion about it. MSNBC was one of my 'safe spaces' at a time when it seemed almost everyone was justifying and normalizing tRumps behavior, and also making wishy-washy flip-flop ping normal. I made a decision not to watch Joe & Mika anymore before I saw this, and I thought, wow, these guys are more pissed than I am about it! I guess it might feel like when one of your few allies crosses to the other side, making the ship seem even more abandoned.

Expand full comment

Why criticize? Because the loyal viewers of MJ feel betrayed. I do, anyway. That's why.

Expand full comment

You are so wrong and obviously belong on the other side. Blind, too, I guess

Expand full comment

JOSH! Meidas isn’t the only news outlet that thinks what Joe and Mika did was a complete betrayal to the truth.

DonOLD doesn’t deserve ONE scintilla of respect. His Cabinet nominations should be a slap in the face to you. He is mocking everything we stand for.

Expand full comment

Your a$swiping of Joe & Mika is kinda creepy. You are suspect on ALL levels, and I guarantee you, no one is paying attention to your nonsense.

Me too and I like Nichole and Jen and on weekends Velshi and Willie.too.

Well, I cannot imagine why they would do this, but I think they have irreversibly damaged their good name and their show. I know I will never watch it again!

I’m not surprised, when he ran in 2016 they were his best buddies. Always on their show. I stopped watching them after that.

Me too!

Are you the same jerk you were back in 2016? Trying being up to date.

Expand full comment

We know it's you, Joe.

Expand full comment

I’m not surprised at their narcissistic poses. I remember, particularly, some pics of them maybe 10 years ago with Mika showing off her sexy legs and Joe appearing to be the lucky man with her. I also remember thinking, “What do these shots have to do with news? Who cares that you came out for a photo shoot to show us how in love you are?” Let’s also keep in mind that Mika has completely given up her place as a serious woman (ho-ho-ho, know your value much?) and been absorbed into good ol’ boy Joe’s unending walks down memory lane and recollections of his Baptist upbringing which I sure as hell couldn’t care less about.

& this is why MeidasTouch is better

I actually stopped watching in August - showing was really bothering about their show. Keith Olbermann had warned us and I think that put tup my red flag. Now it all makes sense! As I told them in my email, “by-by”!

Keith Olberman is Republican and hasn't been on msnvc in a long time.

He’s a Democrat. Do your research.

I was very disappointed in the news of them going to MAL to kiss ass. I thought more of both of them and like this country, they disappointed me. I gave up on CNN over 20 years ago for MSNBC, and now I'm only getting my political news from MTN.

Expand full comment

I'm not worried about Morning Joe as they probably are trying to make the "king" happy. I have said it many times before but will say it again: Meidas Touch is the best of all the rest and I will get my morning joe from my own coffee pot and do not need to watch them.

Expand full comment

Everybody should look at Stephen Spoonamore’s work and the letter that he wrote to VP Harris. The vote numbers don’t add up.

Expand full comment

But is anyone investigating?????????

Expand full comment

Never trusted them fully after the 2016 attacks on Hillary but they seemed to be fully against fascism band and supportive of reproductive rights. Really liked their guest panels. After the Mar a Lago incident when ppl were justifiably shocked that they were normalizing him then Joe tried to gaslight us and say we were not in the normal world. That really ticked me off. Didn’t Trump proclaim that they should investigate Joe for murdering his intern? Is that normal or presidential? Ignoring constitution? Villainizing legal immigrants? I could go on. No he is not in the normal world.

Expand full comment

They have crossed the line by going to Florida to meet a deranged loonatic who will share their pathetic meeting and twist the knife on social media 🤬 I am embarrassed to say I used to watch and enjoy morning Joe 🤨 but that's all changed I will never ever watch either of them ever again, no wonder people are leaving the corporate media en masse and turning to the best news people (MEIDAS) for honest, independent and factual coverage. Never give up Never surrender 💪

Expand full comment

I haven't turned on Morning Joe since I read they went down to kiss the mushroom.

Expand full comment

I was a big fan of theirs. That was my best morning show in the mornings. Even recorded so when I got up I could see from beginning. I am lost for words on this. I will not support their channel anymore. Just sad they turned their backs no different than being a maga supporter for him?

I love watching Rachel and Lawrence in the evenings will continue watching them. I now don't watch much of MSNBC just tired of them giving the orang buffoon too much air.

Love Meidas Touch though!

How can we ever listen to them again when they pretend to agree with whomever is in power. Flip Flop. And Flip again.
