In recent weeks, Fox News has been losing audience, as some viewers have become disenchanted with the network's increasingly Trump-skeptical tone. Morning Joe has been a beneficiary of this trend, beating rival Fox & Friends in the ratings for the first time in almost 20 years.
Joe Scarborough et al. thus have an interest in encouraging Fox News to continue down the path that has benefitted Morning Joe. And thus it was that on today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough and Willie Geist lavishly praised FNC personalities who have criticized the efforts of the Trump team to contest the election results.
Scarborough also made a not-so-subtle ratings brag, saying his show has played "the long game [of supposed truth-telling]" and that "I think this show is, you know, a good example of how you play the long game. And it ends up working out well for you."

Of course Scarborough praises Fox News people who criticize Pres. Trump’s election challenges: that helps drive down Fox’s ratings!

Viewers didn’t flock to Joe, Fox’s viewers turned them off.
Blerg! He’s so ugly, inside and out.
Since Fox has sold out and turned their backs on their main viewing audience, losing the rating war to CNN and MSNBC will no longer be a big deal. It will happen on a regular cycle.
Lol. None of those viewers who left Fox went to you, Bunky.

You didn’t do it Jackass....WE DID
We can take comfort in the fact that YOU didn’t beat them, Joe. Fox took aim at their own feet with double-ought buckshot and pulled the trigger, You had more viewers because Fox hung themselves. No, you didn’t beat them; they beat themselves.
No, we are sage but we don't have the thyme.
He didn’t “beat” fox. His numbers didn’t increase, people just stopped watching fox.
Joe S.: ‘We did everything, all the losing and more, so that we could win 20 years later under a mass exodus from Fox News, as it became a clone of MSNBC.’
Kind of like the Colorado Rockies or Cleveland Barons boasting about beating the Montreal Canadiens back in the late 1970s because Guy Lafleur or one of the other Montreal players put the puck in their own net, lol.
You didn’t gain viewers numbnuts
Who is he?
For the first time since Lori Klausitis died
Some intern killer.
