Shouldn't. But surely do.
Morning Joe isn't just a tell people what they need to know show. They present themselves, and their guests, as contexualizing news events. A little reporting and a lot of commentary, analysis, opinionating. Good guests sometimes, but a long ways from Chris Hayes and Rachel or Chris Matthews, in terms of insightful background, legal analysis and the like. That's why I was wondering if Mika were maybe seeking a little more thunder. How often has anyone talked about what Mika said in the forum? Now we are doing it.
