Morning Joe has abandoned any pretense of being anything other than an abject mouthpiece for the DNC in general, and the Biden campaign in particular.
Take today's opening panel. It included Al Sharpton and Karine Jean-Pierre. Until recently, Jean-Pierre had been an MSNBC analyst, but is now an official Biden campaign aide. Yet she appeared not as a guest to be questioned [and forget grilled], but as a panelist! The absurdity reached its height when Mika Brzezinski invited Jean-Pierre to:
"Put aside your position with the Biden campaign and talk about this moment."

Morning Joe might as well call itself “BidenTV.”
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Of course they are, just as they were Hillary TV in 2016.
It is difficult to see how a cable news channel can have programing that is outright candidate advocacy.
These cable news stations that have shows that clearly advocate for Biden should be considered advertising and be regulated by the FEC and FCC.
Painting lipstick on pigs is what they do!
It might not seem possible, but Morning Joe seems worse, much worse, than back in 2016.
In particular, Joe Scarborough seems so consumed with hatred that TDS isn’t just a handy label, it is a clinical diagnosis of a truly sick person.
Rebranding?
They have been viciously anti Trump for three years.
They are irrelevant with their pathetic ratings.
It does seem like an in kind contribution to the campaign.
They should charge SloJoe infomercial rates.
Joey Scarborough puddin and pie
Pushed the girl and made her die
the ENTIRE media is running as the Biden campaign..99.9 percent of them vote Democrat
“Of course they are, just as they were Hillary TV in 2016.”

A day after his resounding victory in New Hampshire, Donald Trump made a point to thank two of his “supporters” — the hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“You guys have been supporters,” Trump told co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski at the end of an interview on Wednesday. “And I really appreciate it. And not necessarily supporters, but at least believers. You said there’s some potential there.”
Trump also told the hosts “it was great” seeing them the previous evening. Scarborough and Brzezinski visited Trump’s hotel room on Tuesday night while the New Hampshire primary results were rolling in, according to two sources with knowledge of their visit. Scarborough and Brzezinski did not respond to a request for comment.
After this article was published, Scarborough posted a series of tweets accusing CNN of lying about him. “Your sources are wrong,” he wrote. Scarborough did not explicitly deny that he visited Trump’s hotel room, however.
Trump has a unique relationship with “Morning Joe.” He’s appeared on the show far more than any other MSNBC program — although most of those “appearances” have come over the phone, as was the case Wednesday.
Scarborough and Brzezinski also have a personal history with Trump that has been palpable in those interviews. Last month, conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt even floated the possibility of Scarborough serving as Trump’s running mate. Scarborough shot down the idea.
But the hosts, clearly uncomfortable with the “supporter” label, sought to clarify Trump’s comments on Wednesday.
“When you say supporter, you’re obviously talking about how actually ... there were a handful of people who for six months have been saying what happened last night could happen and the rest of the media world has been mocking and ridiculing exactly what he’s done,” Scarborough said.
Brzezinski, who’s more liberal than her Republican co-host, was quick to point out that she hasn’t always agreed with Trump.
“It’s not like Donald and I have the same worldview,” she said. “But we knew that he could do this from the get-go, so I think the sense is that we believed that his talents actually could follow through and translate into something while everyone else underestimated him.”
The show hasn’t always provided cozy confines to Trump. In December, Brezinski told the GOP frontrunner that he was “scaring” her with his calls to ban Muslims from entering the United States. And in that same interview, Scarborough cut to commercial when Trump refused to stop talking.
Still, “Morning Joe” is far friendlier territory for Trump than MSNBC’s other more left-leaning shows. And it’s true that Scarborough and company have been bullish on Trump’s chances.
When Trump opted to skip last month’s GOP debate on Fox News, Scarborough said on Twitter that it was foolish to doubt the candidate.
“Anyone thinking Trump loses this game of chicken hasn’t been paying attention for the past 6 months,” he said.
During the primaries, after the general started they were all in for Hillary.
Yep. BLM. (Biden Liberal Media.)
To be fair, Sean Hannity’s show has been “Trump TV” for almost four years.
Was it ever in any doubt?
They would prop up ANYBODY to make Trump look bad.
Three hours a day 5 days a week Trump bashing
