What is Fox's equivalent of MSNBC's The Morning Joe, hosted by the very conservative Joe Scarborough, formerly a sergeant in Newt Gingrich's 1994 class of House conservatives?

don't you talk about my morning joe.  they have cute people there.

[Relaxer]

I'm not criticizing the show, though Joe Scarborough is a dickhead conservative prick who pushed MIGHTILY to deny basic human rights to the working class when he was in the House.

I'm saying that MSNBC, which does lean left, has a highly promoted program hosted by an establishment conservative. Does Fox News have a highly promoted program hosted by a liberal?

I don't have a problem with this being in Obamacare...it won't affect mom and pop stores/restaurants...only businesses with 20 locations or more (at least as I have read it).  I think it's a good thing for people to know the # of calories in their chocolate thunder from down under or their Safeway deli macaroni salad.

Chocolate Thunder from Down Under is the funniest dessert name ever.


CNN have their own issues; like the fact that they talk about Hollywood gossip more than, you know, real things.


Maddow is as biased as Rush but I have never heard her tell an outright lie the way Rush does. She also wears her bias on her sleeve unlike Fox who attempt to pose as a "fair and balanced" news network. Matthews, Sharpton, Schulz (SP?) and Scarborough are all hacks who do not belong on news networks, though.
I would love to see Ezra Klein replace one of the liberals listed there.

Sharpton was at my office yesterday.  Guy is an incredibly engaging speaker.

[azaghal1981]

I don't think it translates very well on TV.

[i am gay and i like cats]

what was he doing at your office . . . calling all white people, the devil?

[azaghal1981]

Dunno about all that but he and the others I listed are as grossly supportive of whatever Obama does as the Fox "reporters" were with regard to Bush. I see Maddow criticize Obama all the time. Especially with regard to this drone craziness.

[killsaly]

I would hope most rational human beings would be upset with "this drone craziness."

[azaghal1981]

As would I. But many of their other pundits are fine with it.


If there is a reason to watch MSNBC, it is Chris Hayes.

[chaz]

what was he doing at your office . . . calling all white people, the devil?

No...he was talking about the history of civil rights movement as it relates to the labor movement.

[Relaxer]

I would hope most rational human beings would be upset with "this drone craziness."

all the polling data on drones (of which there is surprisingly little) shows that Americans really love their flying autonomous death robots. A whopping 83 percent of Americans approve of the Obama administration?s use of the aircraft to kill terrorists, according to the most recent Washington Post/ABC News poll on the subject, from February 2012. The same poll found that 65 percent of Americans favor the use of drones against American citizens suspected of terrorism overseas.

But it gets worse. Among self-described liberal Democrats, fully 77 percent endorse the use of drones against terrorist targets. On the question of killing Americans in drone strikes, Democrats approved of the use 58-33 percent, as did liberals, 55-35 percent, as the Post?s Greg Sargent pointed out last year.

[sweetcell]

relaxer, he did say "rational".

[Relaxer]

Well that's true, but as I say to my wife all the time "When you think everyone is wrong, chances are you're the one not right" or something like that.
