It's Fox News light when Mika is there. When she's not, it's in Glen Beck territory. nt onehandle Jun 2012 #9

Joe has the desk all to himself this morning, not even Willie to try and balance things out. We all know Joe can't stand being criticized, so after a week off he's getting even by surrounding himself with sycophants and his adoring friends.

When Joe can make CNN look good, you know he's really gone over the edge!

I believe Mika is scared to speak up
I don't even know why she is on Morning Joe
She might as well not even be there

...an ugly old rich white man festival, and MSNBC is playing the Fox card. No pun intended. Mika is pretty and nice, the rest of the crew is a bunch of privileged white guys. The producers seem to think Mika mitigates the gross imbalance in the "cast of characters."
