Crap, Morning Schmo's ratings going up

[DainBramaged]

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.

2. Everything else in the AM sucks worse.

Who can watch Fox & Freaks?

Headline News repeats every 30 min. Actually, that's why I watch it when I travel. Alarm goes off, 30 min later I leave the hotel.

CNN isn't very interesting when I switch to it, and it's nearly as rightwing as Fox "news", only far more subtly. Which is actually more dangerous.

So when I'm home in the AM, I've ended up with the TV machine on Morning Schmoe. Squint and the Meat Puppet. I can't stand him, and Mika the Meatpuppet is an embarrassing excuse for a liberal. But I do like the format - different people conversing throughout the show. And occasionally Lawrence O'Donnell gets the chance to get up in some douchebag's face. All of the networks let the rightwingers come on and lie unchallenged.

Truthfully, I just started watching it a year ago, because I got tired of having to go crank up the computer to stream Bill Press' radio show, and shut it down when I leave. We have nothing liberal on the air here.

It's a good format and style for a TV show, they just need to get rid of "dead intern" Squint.
