So when they say stuff that PANDERS to the right, they are playing to THEIR base. Repeating it HERE is pointless. Go repeat it somewhere where the posters might not realize that Morning Joe is unbiased. Like the Martian Underground message board.

Seriously, getting outraged by something 'Mika' says is like getting embarrassed when your dog licks their butt in front of company. They are both just doing what they do.

2. Me either. But all I have to do is log in here and I get my morning update...
I swear, I am not sure WHY Morning Joe leans right when half the people watching it are from the DU.

4. LOLz!
I wonder about that too. Do people watch MJ and Washington Journal specifically to get mad and come here and post? Seems like a waste of time to me, but hey, to each his own, as the old lady said when she kissed the cow, which is something my father used to say, I have no idea why.

3. Oh please, they lean WAY right. Give me a break.

Mika is another dysfunctional political hack.

6. NO SHIT! So why do people QUOTE them here every morning with outrage? We ALL
know they lean FAR right. Scarborough was a REPUBLICAN congressman, for god's sake. No shit they say really icky things that piss us all off. Stop giving them the damn ratings and STOP WATCHING THEM. And instead of posting what MIKA says, let's post what OBAMA says.

5. Thank you, but save your breath....
I've complained about this before but nobody on here cares. This place is like Morning Joe Central.

All you'll get is people claiming they "need to know and report what the enemy is saying!!".

These people are DU's equivalent of Keyboard Commandoes. They are deluded into thinking that watchign some hack right wing news show and posting a play by play on DU makes them some sort of latter day internet era Walter Cronkite.

9. Do you get furious when they make anti-Dem comments and run straight here and post them?
That is what is irritating to me. Why propagate their crap? Why get so outraged when they say basically the same crap every day?

13. OHHHH...No. The OP is irritated by the number of "I can't believe Mika said that'
threads that pop up every single morning. I wouldn't know who 'Mika' is if she dropped dead in my living room. I am outraged by people being outraged over the hosts of Morning Joe making pro-GOP comments.

Get your outrage straight.

15. Don't surprise me like that -
I'm still getting over the shock of learning that McCain was, get this, a POW - is that new?
