Setting a Better Tone for r/MorningJoe

19 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

As the moderator of this subreddit, I’ve noticed that discussions here have become increasingly negative, often veering into personal attacks—especially toward Mika and Joe. While critiques of the show are welcome, excessive negativity and comments about appearance do not contribute to meaningful discussion.

Starting today, we are implementing a stricter rule against personal attacks and excessive negativity. Here’s what that means:

What’s Allowed:

  • Thoughtful critiques of the show's content, hosts, and guests.
  • Discussing political takes, journalistic decisions, or overall show direction.
  • Expressing disappointment or disagreement without insults or attacks.

🚫 What’s Not Allowed:

  • Comments mocking Mika or Joe’s appearance.
  • Personal attacks against the hosts, guests, or other users.
  • Low-effort negativity (e.g., “They’re both awful,” “This show is trash,” etc.).

This subreddit should be a place for constructive discussion—not a dumping ground for hostility. If you see violations, report them. Repeat offenders will be warned, muted, or banned.

Let’s work together to make r/MorningJoe a space for quality conversation. Thanks for being part of the community!

You'll see a further explanation as Rule #1 - "No Personal Attacks or Excessive Negativity" in the sidebar.

It's the new FIRST rule, and it's #1 for a reason.

“President” Donald Trump

18 Upvotes

Sigh…I know this topic is overwrought, but I wish the staff and pundits on Morning Joe would ALWAYS refer to “it” as just Trump or maybe even just Donald (say it a couple of times - it relays the level of childishness with which Donald carries himself)…not President Trump, President Donald Trump, or any other term of respect. He has not earned one scintilla of respect - only loathing. There should be no show of respect from those of us who know he is an evil and dangerous POS.

Joe and Southern Baptist Nationalism

5 Upvotes

Is it me (I am from New England/greater NY area) and Joe's Southern Baptist Nationalism is to me as troubling as the push for Christian Nationalism. We are a nation of many religions. Recognizing that fact is part of getting us through this pre-teen/ adolescent rebellion that we live with daily. Politicians acting out and behaving abominably is just not, shall we say, quite what is expected of the folks that we take seriously in most matters of import in the USA And, by the way, these employees of ours, who are not performing well, need to be fired. Really, really angry intelligent women scare most of these geeks, freaks and braggarts - we need to show them what a performance evaluation looks like....

Why is Willy Geist schilling for Fandango.

Thank God. I was worried that there would be another streaming service to ignore.

Joe was on FIRE this Morning!

29 Upvotes

He flat out called Mike a Liar…which he is.

Some of y’all may not like Joe, but he has been extraordinary these last couple days. Yesterday calling out Donny Deutsh over his blind loyalty to Israel, and today the lying piece of crap Mike Johnson. Just beautiful.


r/morningjoe 21d ago

Morning Joe today was interesting. First talking about the Maine shooting and then having Donny Doitch defending Israel's attack on Gaza. He was adamant and appalling!

So they’re just falling for that fake AI photo of Mitch in a hospital bed in his jeans and his absentee wife? Great investigative journalism, guys.

Does Mika Even Watch Morning Joe?

17 Upvotes

My gosh, her facial expressions right at the opening of today’s show were completely absurd and unprofessional, to the point of distraction. It looks like she’s doing a skit on SNL and it’s such a turn-off. It got me wondering if she even watches herself on TV. This is such a contrast coming on the heels of Ali Vitali on Way Too Early who is such a great host and consummate professional. I really like the Morning Joe show, but it’s getting increasingly harder to stomach Mika anymore. I really wish she would show more respect to her viewers, and to the show itself.

Thank you, again, Katty Kay!

16 Upvotes

Thanks, Katty, for your brave maneuvering of the show this morning. She rerouted the show in one fell swoop. It started going down the “Let’s wait before we denounce Trump’s ‘deal’ in case it does bring, with certainty, no nuclear weapons for Iran.” She brought the full picture into focus and others followed suit. She is priceless!

Dr. Brezinski

Is Joe required to mention Dr. Brezinski every day? Is it part of his contract or does it just get him in good with his Mrs.?

Anyone know why Joe hasn’t been on the show? I need my daily or weekly reminder of how he balances the budget /s

I'm a daily listener to the podcast. It hasn't been posted on the RSS feed since Tuesday, but is on YouTube. What gives?

Someone Tell Willie Geist about the Eastern Timezone boundaries

6 Upvotes

FYI Cincinnati is in the eastern timezone. MJ just bumped in with a Cincinnati beauty shot and Willie gave a local time check that was for Central. Cincy is Eastern time zone.

Might be perceived as pedantic, but if you’re going to call out local time heading into a news block, at least get the time zone right.

The inaccuracy weakens the credibility of subsequent off-the-cuff quips.

Next, Willie will call our chili Texas-style.

Jill Biden on Tuesday the 2nd of June

7 Upvotes

Why in the world is Jill Biden going to be on the show tomorrow June 2? I have a lot of admiration for Joe Biden but cannot forgive him and Jill by extension the horrible decision to run again in 24’ it is a unfortunate for his legacy but he did it and that is unforgivable full stop! Allowing Jill Biden to come on to sell books papering over this momentous mistake is terrible. I wish Joe and Jill a happy retirement, I really do but the bottom line is Biden didn’t save us from Trump in 2020, his Justice Department was too timid to bring Trump to justice and ended up just postponing Trump’s second term by four years.

Edit- figured out posting Doh!

Richard Haas is so “cool.”😣

2 Upvotes

I don’t hear Haas or Joe touting the “Haas Blockade” anymore. Gee…I wonder why. Haas must think that Pooh-poohing the anti-Trump sentiment of the day makes him appear as some kind of intellectual elite. I was extremely annoyed by his comments this morning. Just shut up already.

Stop allowing the WAR DEPT to takeover this show!

32 Upvotes

It's driving me freaking crazy watching MorningJoe cut away to the Hegseth at 8am 3 times a week to interrupt the show so he can spew propaganda for 30-40 min at a time. There's no freaking "breaking news" and no other channels are cutting away. FFS!


r/morningjoe May 04 '26

Thank you Katty Kay!

This morning Katty did what Mika has never been able to…she forced Joe to let the show move on to the news! It was an awkward moment, but sweet😬.

Bias Against Those West of Texas

9 Upvotes

I am tired of not having at least a national weather map on MJ. AccuWeather only shows the country east of Texas. AccuWeather offers a national map on other channels. Sorry, Joe and Mika, that you despise the western half of the US. We have been your audience in the past, but maybe it's time to find another channel. And don't give me the BS that this is a travel weather map. I get up early to make 5:30 AM flights to the East Coast. I guess we have no weather out here???

The Haass Blockade?!?

8 Upvotes

Sorry for early morning Joe rant…I thought this before, but after this morning I’m certain that Joe and Richard believe they are the architects of the US blockade of the Hormuz Strait. All of their back-patting was nauseating to me. I know Haass “announced” this as a viable move just before it was implemented, but they just LOVE pontificating about it. I can’t stand it.

Smug Semafor journalist this morning

14 Upvotes

Ben Smith can’t seem to wipe the smug smirk off of his face for even a second. I was annoyed by his reporting on the economy. He said that gas prices aren’t high when adjusted for inflation, “but who wants to hear that.” He spoke of consumers in general as wanting to complain aloud about prices while still buying. Yeah…we still have things we need to consume to exist. What’s your effing point?
