I watch "Morning Joe" from time to time, but lately because of Covid-19, have been watching more of CBC, local news, etc. They usually repeat one of the segments later in the 3 hour show. They do this to catch viewers who wake up later.

On the other hand - and to me, quite self-evidently - they repeat, repeat, repeat so as to catch people who are looking for an alternate news broadcast and who happen to turn on to their show - which, as the Covid-19 crisis worsens, viewers may very well do. Their purpose is not only as a journalism show, but most importantly to educate; and, as so many people (globally) are ignorant, their purpose is always to ensure that people are getting real news and a different viewpoint instead of the horrid stuff that comes up on stations like Fox. Obviously, to educate, they (seeing their role as teachers), they have to explain!!! And, until everyone in the States is made aware of how bad their present govt is (and the Dems get elected), I am sure they will continue to have the same format, which I both applaud and understand the why-fore of their way of doing journalism. The only way to counter and balance the propaganda coming from the WH and stations like Fox is to do exactly what "Morning Joe" is doing. And so, they don't do journalism for the "converted" - and this is all because of Trump. (lol)
