Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski threatened the network if their show, Morning Joe, was pulled from the air again. Mary Chastain wrote yesterday that MSNBC’s decision to pull Morning Joe was probably prompted by concerns over Scarborough’s and Brzezinski’s commentary, which the network feared might cross a line after the former president’s assassination attempt.
In a rant before the show, Scarborough stated:
“We were told, in no uncertain terms, on Sunday evening that there was going to be one news feed across all NBC news channels yesterday,”
“We were also told it was going to happen throughout the day. And I guess, after there was such a strong blow back about yesterday morning, I guess they changed their plans.”
“Let me just say, next time we’re told there’s going to be a news feed replacing us, we will be in our chairs,” he said. “The news feed will be us, or they can get somebody else to host the show.”
