This morning, the Morning Joe crew of MSNBC decided to go on an anti-union tirade. Clearly, they didn't drink the coffee handed to them by their unionized colleagues that help to get their show in the air.

After a rant from "smart" money man Jim Cramer (who, in recent months, has admitted that he's "gotten a lot of things wrong" and that he "should do a better job") on the terribleness of unions, the entire on-air team decided to weigh in.

The discussion went as far as co-host Mika Brzezinski claiming that unions "cripple the system that makes a company work." Together, they failed at naming a single "successful" unionized company - even though they all work for one.

Watch it here:

As mentioned above, the Morning Joe crew needed to look no further than their colleagues. GE, which owns NBC-Universal (and thusly MSNBC), is one of the world's largest companies, and made more than $18 billion last year. In total, 13 different unions represent GE companies.

Media Matters takes this issue a step further, wondering aloud if this might have anything to do with the fact that the members of the National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians-CWA union have protested NBC-Universal in recent weeks. These fellow brothers and sisters have been working without a contract for nearly two months, and little progress has been made to reach a new agreement.

Perhaps that's what's leaving the Morning Joe crew with such a bitter taste in their mouths.

One more thing - today is day two of Starbucks' official sponsorship of Morning Joe. That would be the same virulently anti-union Starbucks pushing the "For CEOs, By CEOs" alternative to the Employee Free Choice Act that Morning Joe trumpeted in this morning's segment.
