Call me a masochist, but I am a regular for watching Morning Joe. I started watching Imus and just kept up with the new cast after he got canned.

I keep thinking that Joe and Mika and Willie are reasonable tolerant, hip people-- and then I see this morning's show, where the pregnant trans man's appearance on Oprah is used as grounds to cite this as "one of the reasons why 81% of Americans feel the country is headed in the wrong direction" (Joe); and "disgusting" (Mika) (!). Maybe by now, I shouldn't be surprised by Joe and Mika showing astoundingly little empathy or compassion for our community, but it still gave me a morning "jolt," especially on a day when Martin Luther King's legacy was a major topic.
