On Monday, MSNBC pulled” Morning Joe” off the heat. According to sources, the network decided to “avoid a situation where one of the show’s secure of two dozen or more guests may make an improper remark on live television that could be used to denounce the program and network as a whole.”

In other words, MSNBC did n’t trust the” Morning Joe” team to be adults.
An MSNBC director after denied , what resources had told CNN.
NBC News, NBC News NOW, and MSNBC have been rolling breaking news policy since Saturday evening, the spokesperson said. ” As we continue to cover this story into the year, the systems will continue to mix simulcast, alternating between NBC News, NBC News NOW, and ‘ MSNBC Reports’, so there is one news feed covering this developing position”.
But, there was no simulcast. The sole program MSNBC dropped was” Morning Joe.” That was no error. Naturally, that was a wise choice, but it makes me wonder why the network did n’t just broadcast reruns of” Saved by the Bell” for the day instead of just getting rid of all of its on-air talent. It most likely would have increased MSNBC’s popularity.
To further show just how significant the decision to pull” Morning Joe” was, even ABC’s” The View” aired as scheduled.
According to my PJ Media coworker Stephen Green,” Morning Joe” is “reportedly President Joe Biden’s preferred day present, but he’ll had to wait until at least Tuesday to get his daily fix.”

Tuesday’s return of” Morning Joe” did n’t disappoint. Scarborough actually had a little hissy about the show’s choice to air his show off the heat.
” We were told, in no uncertain terms, on Sunday night, that there was going to be one news supply across all NBC News channels yesterday”, Scarborough said Tuesday. That would be the only information feed available on all NBC News programs. that we would continue to operate as a channel in the middle of the day yesterday. That did not happen”.
” We do n’t know why that did n’t happen”, he added. ” Our team was not given a good answer as to why that did n’t happen, but it did n’t happen”.
” We were really shocked”, Scarborough continued. ” We were quite upset. And if we had known that there was n’t going to be the one news feed from NBC News across all NBC News channels, Willie]Geist], we obviously would have been in yesterday morning”.
Scarborough then threatened to leave if the system actually pulled him from the atmosphere once more. When his family and co-host Mika Brzezinski attempted to change the subject, Scarborough cut her off and said,” Let me just say, next day we’re told there’s going to be a news feed replacing us, we will be in our chair”, Scarborough warned. ” We will be the number, or they can find someone else to host the show,” the news feed states.

According to CNN,” the present was pulled to stop one of its dozens of live guests from making an incorrect comment that could paint the network and show in a terrible light.” twitter.com/d2Lu1i1huX
