I went looking for that and found this. I couldn’t read it all. Joe is a very sick man. He’s writing a musical about Trump. Thinking of running for office. Delusional doesn’t cover it.

On one level, MSNBC is trying to avoid lawsuits. Their diatribes (on Morning Joe and other shows) have led to an attempted assasination, which also left one person dead and two in critical condition. And I bet a really convincing case could be made that would make the Dominion/Fox lawsuit look like a penny ante poker game--because not just the corporation, but the hosts/guests personally could be held liable.

On another level, perhaps MSNBC fears that if one of their guests/hosts says something they have termed 'inappropriate', the reaction might go beyond complaining to advertisers.

TV personalities and Comcast execs are a lot easier to put in the ground than presidential candidates. The image these people have of right-wingers is the perception of the average Muslim in the days after 9/11 - a drooling mass of murderous anger. Once nothing happens for weeks, the all-clear will be given, and they’ll resume the old Trump bashing.

And that’s the way it should be. Politics ain’t beanbag. Slamming the other side is how you grab audiences by the throat.
