Mika's bias really on display this morning.
While I disagree with Scarborough's opinion's and bullying tactics on the whole I find him much fairer than his sidekick Mika. When Joe is on the show he will at least discuss all sides and make no bones about his personal bias.
Mika pretends to be an unbiased journalist, yet she is clearly in the tank for McCain. And no time is her bias more evident than the days Joe isn't on. Last summer she openly called McCain the 'perfect candidate' to replace Bush on a day Joe was out. When he was out for a few weeks in June due to the birth of his son, she flogged the Rev. Pflager story for 3 whole days while ignoring the Phil Graham story.
Today was another example. Joe was out and she spent the 3 hours defending Sarah Palin. The Community Organizer flap was completely ignored. She smiled with relish when they played Obama's mis-speak from yesterday. And they cropped Obama's comments from over the weekend to cut out his comments about McCain's campaign being run by lobbyists only leaving the last line "They must think you're stupid".

1. The weird part?
Mika's dad (Jimmy Carter's national security adviser) is a prominent Obama supporter. Go figure.

2. Send an email protesting Mika's bias to letters@msnbc.com and viewerservices@msnbc.com
If Republicans can do it, so can we.

3. It has become obvious. And that's why I stopped watching Morning Joe.
I'll send them an e-mail and let them know about it.

I'm not sure what he meant, but it seemed to indicate they were of like minds on the political spectrum.
