I quit "Morning Joe" long ago, but here's the story:

"....Morning Joe will be expanded to a four-hour program (it’s currently three). Starting soon, the political roundtable show can be seen from 6 a.m. ET until 10. Note: With the 2016 race heating up, and the great political theater that has come with it and only promises to continue, it only makes sense to expand the network’s editorial page in the morning...."

MORE, re. Morning Joe's TRUMP OBSESSION, from Contemptor: "...But will this all backfire? Giving a substance-free gabfest like Morning Joe four full hours to allow Joe Scarborough to bloviate endlessly seems like a bad idea on the surface. Especially when you consider that the hosts have decided to jump all the way on the Donald Trump bandwagon, allowing the real estate mogul and whining six-year-old to pop on the program anytime he wants to get free airtime for his campaign and personal brand. (Joe has especially embraced Trump’s anti-Latino rhetoric.) This is made even worse that, in order to get the extra hour to blather on, the network got rid of its most well-known Hispanic personality."

1. Perfect watch Joe drink coffee until 10

Then flip over and watch Kathe Lee and Hoda welcome in the mid morning with glasses of wine

2. Ugh

Talk about yawn--glad I work days

3. Haven't watched Joe for years

and that won't be changing anytime soon. When people like Joe get extra air time that only emboldens them with their over the top babble.

Four hours with three and a half dedicated to bashing Hillary.

4. Hate Joe and his show

6. And this makes no business sense

I have been reading that Morning Joe is tanking in the ratings. It's very expensive (what with all that "talent&quot and gets no ratings. MSNBC had some good things going, but apparently that could not be permitted in our media landscape.

7. Exactly. NO ratings!
