If you follow how a GOP conservative talks and how he uses his "facts" you will notice that Joe of MSNBC's Morning Joe is clearly a conservative posing as a liberal and succeeding.
Articles by people who agree with me:
MSNBC’s Most Influential Show Is Still Run By A Staunch Conservative
The truth, however, is that MSNBC still devotes its largest, most influential chunk of airtime to a show that’s run by a former Republican legislator, and largely populated with the same Beltway press that Politico‘s Joe Williams outed on Jennifer Granholm‘s show.
When I talk about “influence,” I’m not talking about the quality of the shows on MSNBC, or their ability to persuade viewers, or even the relative size of their audiences. Joe Scarborough‘s Morning Joe is dwarfed, ratings-wise, by the likes of Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz, and Lawrence O’Donnell, and while the quality of their shows is a subjective matter, I would argue there’s significant evidence that Maddow’s style, for example. is uniquely persuasive. Far from a knock on MSNBC’s primetime lineup, this observation is proved by the fact that the Maddows, Schultzes, and O’Donnells exist mainly to counter the heavy influence of Morning Joe.
Morning Joe is the most influential show on cable news because of who watches it; namely, every member of the Washington, DC political ecosystem, from journalists to legislators, to consultants, to staffers, right on down to Bo Obama, I’m sure. To Scarborough’s credit, he has demonstrated a willingness to speak out against members of his own party, but that tendency is the currency that allows him to retain that influence.
He populates the show with panelists that consist largely of the Mark Halperin-esque mainstream reporters who form the narratives that control political news cycles, Republican officials, and Democrats like Harold Ford Jr., whose main goal in life is to make Republicans like them. Mixed in, at times, are decent liberal commentators like Eugene Robinson or Jonathan Capehart, but even then, it is Scarborough who sets the agenda, who runs the show, and who wins every argument.
Morning Joe's Net Neutrality Conflict Of Interest
MSNBC's Harold Ford, Jr. used air time to push net neutrality myths without disclosing his relationship to the telecom industry, which has contributed millions of dollars to lobbying against net neutrality regulations.
A clear example of Joe using Fox News/GOP talking points which I prove to be wrong in the links below the video:
Morning Joe Is Appalled That President Obama Criticized Christianity
At the National Prayer Breakfast, President Obama mentioned historical examples of brutality carried out in the name of Jesus Christ, some from the Middle Ages and some much more recent, so of course, Joe Scarboroughonly heard "The Crusades." He is apoplectic that any United States President would EVER have the audacity to lump Christians with Muslims when it comes to the level of atrocities committed in the name of "God." The President said,
“And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.”
The false equivalency and denial of real history was flying around the Mojo set like vultures over a dead carcass; and of course, Mika sat there and simply nodded her head in agreement. She knows her "place" and so she kept her feelings to herself. She may as well been holding pom poms and cheering his malevolence toward a truth-speaking president as if it were just terrific. It was enough to make anyone spit coffee all over the teevee.
He joins Former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore (R) in his outrage. Gilmore accused the president of offending all Christians (as the prayer breakfast was designed to glorify Christianity at the expense of Muslims, dontcha know?)
"He has offended every believing Christian in the United States. This goes further to the point that Mr. Obama does not believe in America or the values we all share.”
The Morning Awful host went on, ad nauseum, as he is wont to do, trying to debunk the president's remarks. The values this pseudo-Christian, practically Muslim president holds are un-American. Here are a few of his more salient complaints.
"You see this when you have people that somehow want to paint a broad brush, 'yes, Radical Islam's bad Muslims are bad but look what Christianity does, really, you have to go back 700, 800, 900 years? The Crusades, that most historians say, were launched in response to years and years of Muslims taking over their former land...Why does he feel the need to go back 800 years?...This Stupid. Left Wing.Moral equivalency. Sometimes you can just say, hey, you know what, there are some really, really bad Muslim extremists...you don't have to say, Christians are bad too. There is somehow a desperate plea for some people on the Left to do that...(and here's where it all was going) 'you almost have to ask the question, where did he go to church? Where would he get SUCH IDEAS from!'
His lapdog, Mike Barnicle said in acquiescence, "he's certainly made better speeches."
He mocked any attempt after 9/11 to show there are extremists in Christianity and Judaism (but hey, don't bring up Israeli-Palestinian Apartheid or Christians like McVeigh or Koresh). Those are simply off limits. He forgot that the defense of slavery was based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. The slaveholding South stretched the truth and claimed that Jesus permitted slavery. He forgot that Jim Crow was only a half century ago. He also neglects to mention Ferguson, and the #BlackLivesMatter movement that seems to be ignored by Republicans nationwide. The traditions of the Antebellum South have certainly not been forgotten, except by MoJo.
In his beady-eyed, narrow mind, he thinks this makes the Left, or as he puts it so obnoxiously, pseudo-intellectual Liberals, look bad. Sam Stein denounced the president for reiterating the broader points that extremism exists, but with ISIS all around, the timing (of the president's remarks) was ill-conceived. How dare he say things derogatory, but true about Christianity. This is how Sam Stein keeps his gig on MoJo, obviously.
The Prayer Breakfast speech, as far as many thinking, pseudo-intellectuals like myself, was a refreshing change from the myopic perspective that Christianity is infallible. The unacceptable arrogance that Christians, who are human beings, as are Muslims, are above reproach is not just wrong, it's dangerous. I suppose Republicans are being consistent as they have proven themselves to be very hazardous to our country.
The King James Bible, 1 John 1:8, reads,
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
I guess Scarborough is no follower of Jesus, and I'm sure there are many, some no longer living, who can attest to that.
If the article doesn't convince you yet then here is even more proof that Joe is engaging in deliberate slander as per Fox News & GOP talking points:

The Daily Show Takes A Looks At Morning Joe & Consequently Smashes Them
Note: For some reason the feelings of a Governor matters more than his actions. Certainly not a fair and balanced show as they are not holding - nor do they want to - hold someone with power and money held accountable for tier crimes. It;s more like a high school type atmosphere... always trying to kiss up to the top dogs to get to a higher point in the popularity ratings.
Daily Show Summary: Cover-Up in the Air - What Would Reagan Do?
The "conservative non-fact based echo chamber begins it's job spreading mis-information to help slander Obama & reduce his ratings...
Slandering Obama continues from one "reporter" to another...
On and on and on it goes...
... and here is Joe parroting the lies started by the GOP "conservatives" in their echo chamber. This is how Obama's rating is lowered by the GOP using the media. It's no big secret. Many people already know of these sorts of echo chambers.
IN reality it took four days for Reagan to respond, this fact came out accidentally not that GOP "conservatives" care if they are caught lying, they just switch to another lie and keep repeating it across it's membership as usual. Here is the accidental expose...

Chuck was one of the people who pretended to be a reporter and misreported the facts, so he can obviously be put in the GOP category;
