Ratings? Joe Scarborough Doesn't Care About No Stinking Ratings

It's all about the influencers

Never without something interesting to say, “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough brushed off the show’s ratings fall against CNN and HLN in an interview with our sister site The Hollywood Reporter. It’s not the quantity of viewers, according to Scarborough, but the quality:

Only because all the newsmakers watch us. We have personal relationships with them. The other day, I picked up the phone and called [Senators] Bob Corker and Claire McCaskill. We have never had anybody say to us, “We can’t do you because we’re doing Headline News” or “CNN” or “Fox.”
