MSNBC Yanks Trump-Hating “Morning Joe” Off the Air Following Trump Assassination Attempt

Far-left MSNBC yanked its signature morning news program off the air following the attempt on Trump’s life by a Democrat donor on Saturday.

CNN revealed that “Morning Joe,” which is hosted by Trump Derangement syndrome-suffering (TDS) suffering lovebirds Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, did not air Monday as details continue to roll in on one of the most horrifying and fateful days in American history.

Sources told the news outlet that Cesar Conde, the chairman of NBCUniversal News Group, made the decision in conjunction with Rashida Jones, the president of MSNBC, and Scarborough and Brzezinski.

MSNBC claimed in a statement to their rival network that the move was appropriate given “the complexity of the unfolding story” and at least one news feed was needed to cover the assassination attempt at all times.

“Given the gravity and complexity of this unfolding story, NBC News, NBC News NOW and MSNBC have remained in rolling breaking news coverage since Saturday evening,” a spokesperson for NBCUniversal News Group said. “As we continue to cover this story into the week, the networks will continue to cross simulcast, alternating between NBC News, NBC News NOW and ‘MSNBC Reports,’ so there is one news feed covering this developing situation.”

However, CNN reports that MSNBC is not telling the full story. A source told the network what MSNBC is really concerned about is one of “Morning Joe’s” loony guests spouting something “inappropriate” about the Trump assassination attempt.

CNN notes such a move could cause critics of MSNBC to pounce and place the network in a bad light.

From CNN:

A person familiar with the matter told CNN that the decision was made to avoid a scenario in which one of the show’s stable of two dozen-plus guests might make an inappropriate comment on live television that could be used to assail the program and network as a whole. Given the breaking news nature of the story, the person said, it made more sense to continue airing rolling breaking news coverage in the fraught political moment.

MSNBC says “Morning Joe” will resume regular broadcasting on Tuesday, but one should be skeptical because guests will not suddenly change their minds. No one should put a disgusting comment past Joe or Mika, either.

Oh, Baloney! They’d have to yank their entire lineup if that was the reason; it’s because of the convention coverage, nothing more.

This doesn’t surprise me. Joe is a loose canon. Much like Olberman.

They’re all loony guests and the hosts are loony too.

After Oct. 7th, when Hamas was subject to the anger and outrage of both the IDF and much of the world, many of their fighters stashed their weapons, donned civilian garb and blended into the crowd. Their hateful rhetoric was muted; now they play the victim instead of the conqueror.

But don't be fooled --- they're not defeated, only waiting for the next opportunity. They'll be back.

It'll be the same over here. The left knows it's gone too far and angered the electorate. For them, this battle is lost. Leftists will duck and cover, back away, watch their words, sound almost rational even.

But they'll be back.

Sounds like damage control to prevent it.

But leftists can’t help themselves. They will blow it and say something vile.

Might Trump have a legal grievance against media outlets? They’ve gone far beyond being ‘news’...they’re all unhinged opinions that hurl around irresponsible rhetoric.

Now what about the putrid hyenas on The View? They are most definitely part of the this problem. They get to spew lie after lie with nary a slap on the wrist.

I think pulling such a show off the air was a move that documents that people in positions of power are beginning to realize that media bias, that demonizing Trump, and the unthinking support and cover up of the Biden Administration have gone too far.

Perhaps this will cause them to do some introspection...

...Naw.
