They used to call it MSRNC....I guess it's time to revive that

Back in the days of GWBush, before it "went left" for a few years, MSNBC used to be nicknamed MSRNC here and elsewhere, for its tendency to show a distinct tilt to the GOP.

I guess it's time to revive that moniker. Morning Joe just devoted almost their entire show to Trump and the GOP races. Other than a few mentions -- tilted towards the "Bernie had a victory but Clinton is swtill the nominee" -- it was like there were no Democratic primaries last night.

I don't give a crap anymore as I don't watch them but it's funny to hear how upset they get when Bernie upsets their apple cart.

except for the 'top of the hour' 2 minute review of last nights results where they had to mention in passing that Bernie won Mich (and one, less than one minute discussion just before the 6:30am commercial break) no discussion of Bernie's win.

I'd say 80% Trump and 20% how poorly Rubio did.

to tease one section as "when we come back we will be discussing how Bernie won Mich last night".

Well, almost. They did actually discuss the issue of 'Free Trade', which is part of why Bernie was able to win, but they did so without mentioning Bernie even one time .. they did mention Trump several times during that discussion.
