For two days running, MSNBC's "Morning Joe" seemed overwhelmingly in favor of allowing the Ground Zero mosque to be built, despite a poll showing Americans being opposed to the construction of the mosque. The panels included co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, and liberal columnist Mike Barnicle as well as MSNBC contributors Mark Halperin, Norah O'Donnell, and Pat Buchanan. Their toughest rhetoric was reserved for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, due to his comments about the mosque being the equivalent of Nazis hanging a swastika next to a Holocaust memorial. But the talking heads also failed to give the American people's opposition to the mosque its just due.'Morning Joe' Panels Condescendingly Smear Opposition to Ground Zero Mosque for Two Days Running

Of course it's the Left and probably the White House pushing this story because they know the MSM will pick it up and blame it on Republicans. And then the story is no longer about the mosque but how awful those mean Republicans are for questioning the President's religion.
Oh well, if this crew is in favor of building the mosque at Ground Zero then we all ought to just embrace the idea.
I enjoy Socialist Joe. It is a window in to the insanity that is pervading the Democrat Party. I like to see the conveluted twisting and self deception needed to justify Obama.
They are afraid of the Obama is a Christian routine because it might bring Reverend Wright his Christian mentor out of the basement. They had hoped they had been able to bury Reverend Wright and his church.
That’s cool. Pursue your happiness. :0)
What are Scarborough’s ratings? Pathetic right, but notice how journalists love to call him a moderate or conservative Republican.
The latest talking-point, is how Scarborough is distressed that “his” party is moving so far right, how, when he first went to congress HE was so right-radical people fled from him, but now the GOP has gone round the bend into right-wing insanity. We’ve pushed him out of the party, alone with other moderate Republicans like Arlen Specter and Charlie Crist.
He’s a tool for the left with an audience slightly higher than Keith Olberman. If it wasn’t for the leftist journalists keeping his name alive he wouldn’t have a show.
Rev Wright is a Malcolm X Mooselip pretending to be a Christian. Just like Bama.
Pray for America
What is galling is they all call Joe Scarborough a ‘conservative’ on the show. He is very liberal.
The Inner Party members are growing tired of the Proles...
if you’re a person of principle, going FAR right is considered a compliment.
Nobody watches MessNBC except for Morning Joe. Because the other networks morning shows awful. I wish Fox would have something similar to Morning Joe but from a center-right perspective. I like the format of Morning Joe, just hate the fact nearly every one of the guests on the show are Lefties.
NBC's Williams rudely "corrected" Obama when the annointed
destroyer leaked he was Moslem.
Like Steffie on ABC, NBC has been an explicit part of the fraud
on America.
That is why they must lie now about fake "evidence",
and why they must attack, attack, lie, attack.
Faux news. Fake journalists. Nothing but DNC flaks.
I watched Morning Joe for years. About a year ago it crossed some intangible line for me and I just couldn't stomach it anymore. I think it's because Joe himself just keeps falling deeper and deeper into the marxist philosophical hellhole and I can't just watch leftist propaganda. It isn't useful information even if it is sometimes entertaining.
Fox and Friends is news lite and doesn't raise my blood pressure as much so I am a much more (mildly bored) and calm FReeper in the AM. ;0)
I have many times wondered if NB isn’t code for NBc obsessed PR team. How can you get rattled about a network that gets less ratings than, well, they aren’t even in the ratings book?
Joe Scarborough used to be tolerable, with occasional forays into lefty la-la land.
But he has been turned, inexorably turned, by that liberal airhead Mika Brzezinski, who couldn’t think her way out of a large paper bag.
Maybe he’s hoping this way he can someday sleep with her. Not such a bad thing; Mika meets the hottie standard. But how else explain MJ’s slide into liberal dopyness?
As for "Morning Joe" the worst part is not the useful idiot Joe but his sidekick hag, the daughter of Brzezinski, who constantly is scowling and fuming about these imagined outrages of the right.
Joe and the Ho Show.
Personally, I believe that they are engaging - with management's support - in what the left calls "viewpoint" journalism. "Viewpoint journalism" is a modern marxist invention to make "Yellow Journalism" sound acceptable. It is a phoney-lib label for spinning the events of the day into propaganda that "proves" the validity of their position and "disproves" their opposition's viewpoints. It is political-agenda-driven spew.
Joe has to keep his job and make his handlers happy. Otherwise he's a greeter at Walmart. And you can't keep any NBC management happy without holding the company's "viewpoint" as the basis of your own comments. That would defeat the purpose of "viewpoint journalism."
I speak so confidently about this because I witnessed the beginnings of this kind of scam in "hollywood" in the late 80s and early 90s. It has now grown, like a tumor, to destroy the entire liberal/media complex in America. They are now dying.
Thank God.
