'Morning Joe' and Eliot Spitzer Know How to Keep Women Quiet
By Joanne Bamberger - Politics DailyIn her book "All Things at Once," Mika Brzezinski recalls fondly that getting her gig on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" was like being "back at the Brzezinski family dinner table, fighting to make myself heard." We all know families where everyone must fight to have their voice register above the mealtime din. While news talk shows aren't the on-air equivalent of that family dinner table, two high-profile newswomen may as well be kids eating meals in their parents' homes again, because they're having a hard time getting a word in edgewise as they co-host shows. On "Morning Joe," the show's namesake, ...
MSNBC Criticized After Suspending Scarborough
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News
(Nov. 19) -- When MSNBC suspended Keith Olbermann for political contributions, fans of the "Countdown" host pointed to fellow MSNBC personality Joe Scarborough's similar donations. Apparently, what's good for Olbermann is now good for the "Morning Joe" host, as well. Network executives suspended Scarborough on Friday, citing eight $500 political campaign contributions, according to Politico. Although some critics (see below) perceive the suspension as a PR vacation, Scarborough will reportedly be unpaid during his absence. "I recognize that I have a responsibility to honor the guidelines ...
Joe Scarborough Suspended by MSNBC
By David Knowles - AOL News
(Nov. 19) -- Here we go again. For the second time this month, MSNBC has suspended one of its program anchors over campaign donations to political candidates. Joe Scarborough, the host of "Morning Joe," received news that the network was giving him a two-day suspension over what it described as eight contributions of $500 to friends and family members who ran for political office, Politico reports. "I recognize that I have a responsibility to honor the guidelines and conditions of my employment, and I regret that I failed to do so in this matter," Scarborough said in a statement. "I ...
'Morning Joe' Battle: Lawrence O'Donnell vs. Glenn Greenwald
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyOne of the reasons I really like MSNBC's "Morning Joe" is that it eschews the typical yelling and screaming that have become commonplace on cable TV. Of course, there is a place for heated discussion -- especially when the discussion is timely and based on real disagreements. Such was the case this morning when Salon's Glenn Greenwald faced off against MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell on "Morning Joe." Greenwald had recently accused O'Donnell of "trying to blame 'the Left' and 'liberalism' for the Democrats' political woes." O'Donnell, who noted that he was, himself, a "socialist," tweaked ...
Why Joe Scarborough Matters
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyIt's become fashionable for some conservatives to say that former Congressman Joe Scarborough isn't really "one of us." But Scarborough, host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," arguably does more to advance conservative ideas than many of the more-celebrated conservative voices in America today. Primarily this is because -- unlike those others -- Scarborough isn't just preaching to the choir. Despite the fact that conservatives now have their own media outlets, like it or not the mainstream media still matter. And as media bias expert Bernard Goldberg has noted, while most reporters have a liberal ...
GOP Wave Means Voters Are 'Spoiled Brats'?
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyI was on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Friday, and one of the many interesting topics we discussed was Eugene Robinson's Washington Post column, "The Spoiled-Brat American Electorate." If you haven't read it yet, here's an excerpt: "Voters appear to be so fed up with the Democrats that they're ready to toss them out in favor of the Republicans -- for whom, according to those same polls, the nation has even greater contempt. This isn't an "electoral wave," it's a temper tantrum. "... In the punditry business, it's considered bad form to question the essential wisdom of the American people. But at ...
Video: Pat Buchanan Calls Newt Gingrich 'a Political Opportunist'
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyFresh off his vacation, MSNBC's Pat Buchanan came out swinging Tuesday on "Morning Joe," calling former House Speaker Newt Gingrich a "political opportunist" for his comments about the proposed mosque in New York City. On Monday, Gingrich compared the building of a proposed mosque near Ground Zero to Nazis putting up "a sign next to the Holocaust Museum" or "the Japanese putting up a site next to Pearl Harbor." Buchanan argued that Gingrich's controversial comments were meant to position him to the right of his potential GOP primary opponent, Sarah Palin, on the issue. According to ...
Discussing the John Hawkins and Matthew Yglesias Blog Uproar on 'Morning Joe'
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyI was on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" today to discuss my recent Politics Daily column: Bloggers Matthew Yglesias and John Hawkins Prove Politics Is Broken. During the first segment, Joe Scarborough, former Bush adviser Mark McKinnon and I discussed a disturbing trend in the blogosphere. You can watch the video here: The second segment begins with me listing the titles of several blog posts that were critical of my column. It ends with Joe humorously promising to protect me from the bloggers who will be trying to get me now . . . ...
Obama on 'The View': The First Reviews Are In
By David Knowles - AOL News(July 29) -- On Thursday, President Obama appeared on the ABC talk show "The View," a move criticized by some pundits as being distinctly un-presidential. Comedian and radio talk show host Rosie O'Donnell, who formerly hosted "The View," quipped, "I don't really think sitting presidents should go do fluffy daytime TV shows." Appearing on MSNBC's political talk show "Morning Joe" Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell declared, "I think the President of the United States has to go on serious shows." The White House media team countered that Obama's appearance on "The View" was meant to speak ...
MSNBC's Chuck Todd on Obama's 'Biggest Missed Opportunity'
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyI've long held that President Obama passed up an incredible opportunity to change the tone of Washington. In my estimation, he passed that up to pursue partisan goals. On a taped segment of "Morning Joe" that aired Wednesday (video below), MSNBC's Chuck Todd put his finger on what he called Obama's "single biggest missed opportunity": [President Obama] actually had a moment where he could have said, 'No. I'm changing the rules of Washington, and here's how I'm doing it.' He could have vetoed that first supplemental spending bill. Remember that first supplemental spending bill where he ...
