"We've got something pretty good here. And I have more influence than I would as the 99th-most-senior member of the Senate." MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Scarborough to the NYDN's David Hinckley.
Well, then stop the tediously repetitive "when I was in Congress" on-air pimp.
Hinckley quotes Joe: "I know it cuts against the grain of almost everything on talk radio and on cable talk today. When I started, they told me it would never work, that I had to pick a side. "But we've found people like it."
In ratings released Wednesday, Scarborough's radio show beat the much-publicized Glenn Beck on WOR (710 AM), 10 a.m.-noon, as it has been doing for months. "Morning Joe," 6-9 a.m., has pulled ahead of "American Morning" on CNN. Last Thursday, for example, Scarborough had 366,000 viewers compared to 311,000 for CNN.
Both shows, like everything on cable news, run well behind those of Fox, which averages over a million morning viewers. But Scarborough says beating CNN is encouraging."We're ahead of people with a lot more experience and many times our resources."
Hey, isn't that Joe's wife sitting to his right?
