New Web Site for “Morning Joe”
Joins Rachel Maddow Show, Countdown with revamped website.
By David Tanklefsky -- Broadcasting & Cable, 1/6/2009 7:09:00 AM EST
MSNBC launched a new website for its morning show Morning Joe. The site is heavy on video content with highlights and interviews from the day’s program and additional commentary from host Joe Scarborough.
The new web home for Morning Joe is similar in style and format to the recently overhauled websites for The Rachel Maddow Show and Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Like the rest of MSNBC online the site includes embeddable video and podcasts, allowing consumers to add segments of the show to their own websites or blogs.
“Viewers are tuning in to Morning Joe more now than ever before,” said Executive Producer Chris Licht in a statement. “The re-vamped website will give fans and political junkies on demand access to the most intriguing interviews from the show and extras we can’t fit into the broadcast.”
In 2008 the show delivered MSNBC with its highest number of total viewers (385,000) for the morning time slot. Viewership increased by 27% from 2007 when Morning Joe debuted, replacing the syndicated radio program Imus in the Morning. The program was mentioned on both the New York Times’ and Washington Post’s year end best of television lists.

Watch your show every day and love it, but i think Joe gave Rep. Joe Wilson and easy pass on his appology to president Obama. If you look at one of the clips after the incident you will hear Wilson say he was "asked" to appoligize by the party. Not exactly the same thing. Obama should have held his feet to the fire a bit before he accepted.

I have been stopped and asked provoking questions, like where did you get this car, why do you wear that jewelry, what kind of work you do, you must be doing something to get this car and have that jewelry.
You don't understand these things that we see and how we are questioned. I have never been arrested or done any crime.
Also, President Obama used one word and he is scrutinized to death about it. President Bush was never questioned like this. Your show gives credit to the notion that President Obama is not an american citizen. Would you please stop this nonsense. It would not be a discussion if he wasn't black and you know it. It is discusting and should not be happening .
They do everything to discredit the president. Please stop the madness. And can you show give the president his respect and call him President Obama just like we do for all presidents.'>It is amazing how the conversation is whether profiling occurred during the initial call. What is at issue is whether the professor should have been arrested at all. We he was identified at the homeowner, the issue should have ended. Yes, the professor should have been quiet, but he should not have been arrested. It was an abuse of power, which ussally occur when a black man is in this situation.
You people don't understand how it is being black and being stopped by an police officer. I am 52 years old and still have a fear about being stopped by the police. It started during my development years when one of my friends was stopped for a traffic violation, taken to the police station and beaten to death under custody of the police. I am from Houston Texas and everytime I am stopped, I feel anxioty and wonder if it is going to be my turn to be abused.

I PERSONALLY DO NOT FEEL MIKA WAS SPOT ON THIS MORNING
REGARDING PROFESSOR GATES.
DAWN - 7/24/2009 12:54:17 PM EDT -
Mika; I watched the discussion of the Gates issue this morning,and feel that you were spot on when you challenged your two guests about what they perceived as the facts in the case.It seems apparent to me that they are the racists since they were so eager to believe that all black men are victims when confronted by the police.I am coming to the conclusion (cynic that I am) That many influential blacks are interested in keeping the racial discrimination pot boiling because it means jobs for racial problem solvers,politicians and media types and fixers of all types. Please keep up the good fight of trying to educate your listeners with the truth

What do you think will happen if we do not do anything about health care? Every administration has talked about health care for of 35 years. And it has broke it self.
Let me give you one example. I had an appointment with a neuroligist. Waited 1 hr in the waiting room she spent 10 minutes with me, wrote me two scripts and then 2 days later sent a bill for $810.00.
There are many facets of greed in health care from doctors and insurance companies and I hope you do understand.
But formost what bothers me when you disagree with what someone does and say you can do better elaborate more how can you do it. These are the main reason why we do not have health care and other contries do.
I also must say this lastly at the onset of your show you show such balance. Your starting to sound like you need to move on over to Fox. With Respect'>Just finished listing to your and Chris Matthews comments on health care. You expressed, as many do what can be done better but as yourself and many you never menton HOW. And why has no one ever once spoken about this administrations budget proposal.
There it show's many cuts. Cut's that were in the prior administration in duplicate. IT IS A GOOD READ
