The Morning Joe show on MSNBC is about as legitimate as it gets. I am enjoying it these days. Dylan Ratigan comes next and he is sometimes informative, often fair, but has tunnel vision in his continual railing on corporate communism and casino banking. He is partly right, I guess, but it gets a little old.
From then on throughout the day, MSNBC is a freak show of slobbering, spitting, sputtering buffoons.
So — watch Morning Joe for the hardest, most relevant and germane coverage you’ll get anywhere, all day. Watch Ratigan if you want a populist rant. After that, turn the channel.
I am finding FOX news all fluff all the time these days, until Brit Hume and/or Krauthamer come on. It’s getting pretty bad out there.
CNN, especially Blitzer, are nothing but posers, all the time.
I have probably breached a lot of FR orthodoxy with this post. Hope it’s not too offensive.
As a very long-time and now former viewer of Morning Joe I call BS.
Joe is an anti-Conservative "conservative" and the rest are just tools. Mika can be honest most of the time but she is still the classic north-east liberal elite and has no clue about the real world. Ratigan is a faux-conservative as well. His "conservative" views break down in patterns entirely consistent with the dem talking points of the day.
Joe is a HUGE disappointment. He has gone native at MSNBC.
Thankfully Motormouth Ratigan is no longer blathering on CNBC. His soliloquies really slowed the pace on Fast Money.
