Morning Joe has abandoned any pretense of being anything other than an abject mouthpiece for the DNC in general, and the Biden campaign in particular. Take today's opening panel. It included Al Sharpton and Karine Jean-Pierre. Until recently, Jean-Pierre had been an MSNBC analyst, but is now an official Biden campaign aide. Yet she appeared not as a guest to be questioned [and forget grilled], but as a panelist! The absurdity reached its height when Mika Brzezinski invited Jean-Pierre to: "Put aside your position with the Biden campaign and talk about this moment."Get the rest of the story and view...

On Morning Joe, former Hillary campaign aide Adrienne Elrod, now an MSNBC contributor, vigorously defended Hillary's attack on Tulsi Gabbard, in which the failed 2016 presidential candidate alleged that the Russians were "grooming" Gabbard to be a third-party candidate.

In the wake of Lucy Flores' accusation of inappropriate touching by Joe Biden, Morning Joe has wrapped Biden in a warm embrace, metaphorically nuzzling his neck and planting a big warm kiss on the top of his head. On Monday's show, Joe Scarborough and former Hillary campaign aide Adrienne Elrod rose first to support good old Uncle Joe. Then came Mika Brzezinski with a more explicit defense of Biden's creepy behavior. Yes, Brzezinski acknowledged, Biden is "extremely affectionate and flirtatious." But it's in a "completely safe way." She suggested that Flores had misconstrued Biden's behavior, and ended by claiming that...
