It Only Took Scarborough 30 Seconds Into His Morning Broadcast to Swipe at CNN’s Cuomo (Again) (Mediaite)

On Wednesday morning’s Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough didn’t take long to criticize his CNN rival Chris Cuomo of New Day. As a matter of fact, it happened in the opening minute of the 6 a.m. EST hour, with Scarborough taking a swipe at Cuomo’s ego.

Not that it came off as a planned criticism per se; the MSNBC host was joking about who earns the top billing on the venerable morning show. Louis Burgdorf had intro’d the show moments before in an unusual way: by calling it “Morning Joe with Mike Barnicle and Joe Scarborough,” swapping the usual order of the hosts (Mika Brzezinski is off Wednesday).

“By the way my agent wants to know. Mike Barnicle gets top billing, really?” said the show’s host light-heartedly. But then inextricably, Scarborough used the opportunity to invoke Cuomo’s name.
