Morning Joe Show - How Many Are Watching? Conservative Slant
definitely.

If you have been watching, I am sure you notice it is taking a conservative slant. Joe has brought up every time when the president's ratings are down, how the congress is down further. However, this is true.

Also, said bad rap on Gitmo for the prisoner abuse claims. This I don't understand where he is coming from. Claims the problem was just not access to attorneys, etc.

Curious on others take on the show, looks like it is the definite winner for the Imus show replacement.

I admit he is pretty good on running the show and does do a lot of good things in an unbiased way. However, I just wish we could get another good show on the air like Keith.

After all, I vote for a replacement for Chirpy Matthews who is knowledgeable but an idiot. You have Tucker who has no knowledge and is an idiot on top of it. I do not understand how he keeps a show. There certainly is room for another Dem or liberal to run a show. Too many conservatives on the air.

1. I faithfully watched MS NBC for most of the day. I don't now. I find Joe boring - no matter what
his take on things. His delivery is just not right. I could tolerate him on his one hour, structured show. Not on this. And as I said, it has had the effect of losing me as a viewer for the rest of the day. I'm watching CNN right now and will switch to Court TV when it comes on at 9:00.

I hate losing MS NBC.

2. I picked up on that too this morning.
Joe confirmed he was a "proud red-state boy." And he confessed his love for manly cops after watching that video of officers beating someone or something. Look for masturbation sessions over Fred Thompson and the Pug Congress Conserva-critters to pop up soon.

3. yesterday he was carrying on about how, as a conservative
member of congress he was always labeled as a "warmonger", "baby-killer" etc. by liberals.

Of course, he failed to mention how conservatives attack liberals labeling us as "unpatriotic" etc.

He is very good at one-sided arguments.

He seems a bit over the top in his "hitting on" his blonde sidekick and Jackie the weather girl. That certainly is getting old, if not offensive.

6. He has seemed pretty high on Huck but I missed that yesterday.
I think he could really be good but I am seeing it is going to be hard for him to stay away from the republican/conservative talking points and keeping things from being slanted in that direction.

9. He was preaching creationist views in a debate and seems like a typical
fundamentalist bible-thumper. I saw him on a few programs and he seemed to be somewhat rational, but the 6000 year old earth talk makes me think he may not appeal to too many people (well, maybe the 30%).

7. Phil Donahue would've been the perfect replacement for Imus.
Joe Scarborough goes which ever way the wind blows.

Deep down he is a die hard repuke......Joe slurs a myriad of carelessly stupid things.

I'll take Chris Matthews next to Bill Moyers any day of the week......and fucker Carlson is an idiot.

10. folks
people have different opinions. Scarborough is one of those conservatives who annoy you with their views, but ultimately he's allowed to have them. At least he doesn't pull the Bill O'Reilly and Hannity character. He does have some rationality even though I believe he is wrong and misguided on many things.

And his co-host, Mika is hot and pretty fair minded.

12. Scarborough is a arrogant...
smartass, I tune in for a few minutes at a time because I feel like going through the screen and choking the shit out of him. He seems to think that his point of view is the only one and I love to see him get in to it with the so called intellectual,from Hollywood. I can't stand him either, I would love to see them come to blows because Scarborough seems to think that he can talk to people as though they are children.
