Morning Joe ratings beating CNN's American Morning

[a kennedy]

The New York Daily News' David Hinckley has written a piece on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" and host Joe Scarborough, centered on the premise that even those who don't agree with him (like President Obama's senior adviser Valerie Jarrett) still enjoy the program.

In the article is a bit of news: "Morning Joe," a must-watch among New York/DC insiders but a show that lags way behind Fox News' "Fox & Friends" and usually behind CNN's "American Morning," is pulling up in the ratings.

Hinckley writes that last Thursday, for instance, "Morning Joe" drew 366,000 total viewers to 311,000 for CNN's "American Morning" ("Fox & Friends" drew over 1 million). "Morning Joe" is also on pace to beat "American Morning" for the month of March, but numbers won't be finalized until next week.

What's more, in the New York market, Scarborough and co-host Mika Brzezinski's morning radio show regularly beats Glenn Beck from 10AM-noon.

1. Don't qualify it by time of day. ALL TV 'news' sucks. n/t

[kimmerspixelated]

2. I'll admit I watch part of it, but it's only while I'm drinkin'

Mornin Joe and openin up de eyeballs. Mika tries to even out Joe, and sometimes he has good guests. It's not all terrible, but you're right, all tv mornin news show suck on one level or another.

3. It's not because Joe is so good...it's just that CNN sucks even worse.

4. Joe sucks but is better than the competition

=I watch Morning Joe because every competing show is mostly about celebrities and/or some new terrible thing that will happen to my kids.

5. Rather watch Robin Meade on HLN

She's hot and non-partisan.

6. Drunken, flirtatious mika, the news reader, has gotten on my...

last fucking nerve. How the hell did she get the job other than having a famous father?

joe the mean spirited, know it all, ex repuke that was told by the repuke party to quit mid term because of his imfamous womanizing, and let's not forget the dead intern, lori klausintis, has outlasted anything positive that could have ever come from this show. He's your typical rw host, he interrupts and talks over everybody, while I might add, the drunken news reader hangs all over him and helps to shore up his rw talking points, that is when she's sober enough.

I hate these two.

8. i can hardly watch any of that crap in the mornings...

9. Well. American Morning IS pretty damn boring.

I check it to see if there is anything tremendous that just happened overnight. Otherwise they are nothing but boring fluff.

I also check the local stations for the weather for the day and to see what is happening...well locally.

I prefer Cspan on mornings when I can just chill and spend some time watching a morning show rather than watching in the hassle before work.
