They're dying because we all saw the lying for the last 4 years. Morning Joe said Joe Biden was sharper than anyone he knows. Not much needed after that to shut off the TV and go on YT from here on out. Lately I might be switching to TYT to get a more middle of road view of things.

It’s a bit silly to consider a left morning talk show news. That’s like saying you get your news from Joe Rogan.

  It's not even all that "left". Immediately after the election, they scurried off to the vermin infested hotel in Florida to kiss the ring. And Joe himself is a former Republican congressman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Scarborough#Elections https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Scarborough#Elections

  It explicitly advertises itself as an unbiased news programme that represents all views, not as a left wing talk show. If you search "Morning Joe" you get the following page snippet as the first result: "More about the MSNBC Morning Joe show. Watch Morning Joe for news commentary & informed perspectives. Hear the news from Morning Joe guests today". This is on a website titled "MSNBC News". First sentence of the Wikipedia article for the show: "Morning Joe is an American morning news talk show". Google presents this description in the sidebar, not sure where it's from: "The show attracts a wide variety of guests, including top newsmakers, Washington insiders, journalists, and cultural influencers, representing a diverse set of voices and opinions that provide keen insight and analysis around the day's biggest stories". Part of the reason news outlets like the WP, the NYT, CNN and MSNBC attract such opprobrium is because they all advertise themselves as unbiased and neutral arbiters of the truth without any political leanings, yet they're all extremely biased in ways that their own staff will happily admit to and even go to the wall to fight for. When Joe Scarborough went on TV and said "this Biden is the best Biden ever", he knew he was lying, and he knew he was lying about presenting a diverse set of voices and opinions too.

    Those blurbs all seem to pretty clearly indicate it's not an unbiased news reporting show? Do you legitimately feel "hear the news from our guests" after "news commentary and informed perspectives" is proof that they are trying to make you think it isn't a talk/discussion/opinion-centric show?

      The question here isn't it being a talk show, but whether it claims to talk about news in an unbiased way.
