What's going on with Morning Joe today?

Maybe I was just half asleep when I tuned in today but I thought he hinted that there was a big shake-up of the show...however, nothing much came of my suspicion so I thought I would bring it up here...

am I on a wrong track here?

.... mainly for breaking news and to listen to Joe eviscerate the criminal in the White House, which I appreciate, but did not hear anything about any possible change in the . show's format.

Gayle King basically takes over the morning show (they are adding a couple of others, but she is clearly "queen bee" )... John Dickerson goes to 60 minutes. Behind the scenes, the scuttlebutt is King and O'Donnell fight over turf like cats and dogs. Given the anchor of CBS news for the past several years is young and apparently was doing ok (I don't tend to watch CBS) and was just tossed, I'd say there may have been some truth to the rumors.

So much drama...

I now have Pluto streaming.(Free) and they are adding stations daily.

MostNews station tend to repat the same things over and over unless there is Breaking news, then they all switch.

Chris Wray just said he was not aware of any illegal spying! Oops

She and Joe spent months fluffing candidate Trump. They disgust me.
