New York CNN — MSNBC will not air “Morning Joe,” its celebrated politics roundtable program, on Monday, opting to instead air continued breaking news coverage of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
The progressive news network confirmed the decision to preempt its influential and top-rated morning show after a CNN inquiry Sunday evening. The network said the show will resume airing Tuesday.
The decision by MSNBC to leave one of its most recognizable programs on the sidelines amid a seismic politics-driven news cycle, with the Republican National Convention getting underway in the wake of the Saturday shooting at Trump’s campaign rally, is certain to raise eyebrows.
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.

Neither one of them had sobered up from Saturday night yet.
It wasn’t pulled. It was paused. Wait until tomorrow. The venom will be hard to listen to.
No kidding. They must still be depressed that Trump is still alive. MSNBC is such a vile cesspool of TDS.
“guests might make an inappropriate comment on live television “
Bingo.
The usual liberals would be chomping at the bit to blurt out their hate.
Covering Trump gets better ratings right now than J+M saying the same things about him over and over, that’s all.
My liberal friend who watches that POS show told me she reluctantly agrees that they lie their asses off. She has some medical knowledge and said after the debate that Biden is “a dead man walking”. Not all liberals are idiots.
Another neighbor is, and has blocked me, screaming that Trump is a rapist and convicted felon. No arguing with idiots like that.
Yep..trump and Vance are a threat to the democracy that Democrats are working hard to destroy.
It’s laughable that these shows like morning a÷#h+le and The Spew continue to operate. They’ve radicalized millions of ugly women to boot.
I think it was purely on acct of the RNC.
Anyone else think this might have a slight tinge of InfoWars lawsuit result attached? “Keep these idiots off the air or they’re gonna say some stuff and get us sued like Alex Jones”.
All 3 of his viewers said they were deeply depressed!
CNN reported this? Well, Olivery Darcy gets in trouble 2x a year for straying from the DNC message.
Does anyone know if Morning Joe was pulled today?

The ratings are unimportant.
Completely dishonest, hypocritical, unfair act by MSNBC.
And I’d bet The View all have bad hangovers, too.
I’d be too embarrassed to come on the air after my own management expressed such little confidence in me as a host.
Waking up on the bathroom floor in a puddle of vomit, still squeezed into your Playtex girdle, mascara
smeared all over your face, with only an empty vodka bottle for company is no way to live your life.
