Tuning in to MSNBC this morning, interested to get the take of Joe Scarborough and his cohort of fellow Trump haters on the attempted assassination, it was surprising to find that the show had been pre-empted in favor of generic coverage hosted by Ana Cabrera.
What was behind the decision to yank Joe and Mika off the air? CNN's Oliver Darcy, perhaps gloating over the temporary suspension of its early-morning rivals, ran an article on the matter, "‘Morning Joe’ pulled from air Monday because of Trump shooting," that included this line [emphasis added]:
"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."
A likely explanation. But odd that the unidentified source said that the concerns about an "inappropriate comment" centered on the show's regular guests. The biggest danger of someone popping off might surely have come from Scarborough himself.

What kind of hateful show is this they have to pull it off the air today? Blaming guests for possibly making inappropriate comments? Gee, maybe do the show without any guests? Wonder why that was not an option? Idk since I have never watched, but it sounds like this show needs to be removed permanently due to hateful propaganda they spew all the time.
Possibly an injury to one, or both, involving some sort of strap on device.
And no one missed the show being yanked.
