On Monday this week, what would have been considered the biggest News Story of the lifetime, Comcast decided to pull its its celebrated politics roundtable program Morning Joe. "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 reason behind the decision to pull their segment was to prevent any guest from making inappropriate comments on live television that could harm the program and network, the decision was made to maintain continuous breaking news coverage. This approach was deemed more appropriate given the high-stakes political context of the current news cycle.
What types of comments could Joe or his co-host Mika Brezenski or any of their guests could possibly make that would lead the network to come to a decision such as that?
We can all dream of a day without Joe "I'm a fake" Scarborough, can't we?
