I have been a devoted fan of Morning Joe for years. I record it every day to make sure that I don't miss the start of the show if I am not up by 6:00. However, I have recently found it impossible to watch if Joe has the day off and Mika is leading the broadcast. She has become so shrill that the show has become unwatchable. I have tried to just turn down the volume, but that is no longer enough. I am a progressive through and through and I turn to Morning Joe for the insights provided by Joe and the guests. Even we Joe goes on a rant it is based on fact and usually some element of humor. Unfortunately, the hysterical rants of Mika have become too much. I understand that I am running the risk of sounding sexist, but I am not characterizing her as a hysterical female as I do not appreciate an over the top approach from any on air talent.
