Morning Joe: Any Viewer Not Realizing Post-Thanksgiving Show Taped a “Moron”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Pro marketing tip for Morning Joe: don’t deceive your viewers, and then call them “morons” when they complain about being duped.

When news stories were published revealing that the episode of Morning Joe aired this past Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, had been pre-taped, an MSNBC exec made a non-apology apology: “Would it have helped if there was a disclaimer? Maybe. But that’s not typically done.”

But on today’s show, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were not in any sort of apologetic mood. To the contrary, Scarborough said “you’d have to be extraordinarily thick” not to realize the show wasn’t live, and Mika repeatedly attacked any such viewer as a “moron.”

Let's be honest here.

Joe and Mika ARE just being honest.

Maybe not about the taping...
But they know all their viewers are morons.

Yes, especially when it’s titled “Finkelblog.”

Speaking of bad behavior, has anybody actually proven that Joe whacked that intern, or did any investigation simply die in an ethics committee?

If Joe was in the same room when Mika was having sex, there’d be 3 people in that room.

On the other HAND...
If Mika were in the room while Joe was having sex, there’d only be the 2 of them.

“Morning Joe: Any Viewer Not Realizing Post-Thanksgiving Show Taped a ‘Moron’”

It’s how Snopes supports their many false claims.

No investigation. Attractive 28 year old single women working alone late night in a congressman’s office fall and hit their head and die all the time. /.sarcasm

I knew Joe was a slimy weasel while at The University of Alabama. He gave me creeps even then.

ONe would have to ask, “Why?” Why would you pre-tape a Thanksgiving Show? THey got busted, and they’re trying to back step it. Looks like it wasn’t obvious to most viewers, and in fact the network at first said that it wasn’t a pretaping.

Mika was busy speaking to store managers on black friday trying to get them to open more checkout lanes:

Well Mourning Schmoe is half right. Anyone who even watches his propaganda is a moron.

I’m sure the deception was upsetting to all five of their viewers.

I wonder which idiot gave Joe THAT advice? (Calling your audience idiots.)

Probably the same one that suggested pre-taping the Friday-after-Thanksgiving show on Wednesday.

Lying and deceit is what they do.
Nobody thought to simply broadcast a “best of” and call it a day?
They instead got themselves in hot water by being untruthful.

It would have been easier to just let a group of fill-in clowns host the Friday show.

Well, they are watching you two, doesn’t that automatically make them morons?
