CNN A source familiar with the matter Who says Morning JoeThe show, hosted by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, was axed over some very specific concerns.
Instead of airing new episodes of opinion and commentary programming, the network opted to air coverage of major political news, including the upcoming Republican National Convention and the shocking assassination attempt on President Trump over the weekend.
The show resumes on Tuesday.
However, a source told CNN that the decision to withdraw Morning Joe “It was designed to avoid a scenario in which one of the show’s 20-plus guests made an inappropriate comment live on air that would spark attacks on the show and the network as a whole.”

Consider what they’re saying here: MSNBC executives were so worried that their guests were too crazy to make sensible comments about the Trump assassination attempt that they chose not to have them on the air.
This is their Morning flagship show And the “guests” are so incendiary that we can’t risk having them speak on national television.
Cesar Conde, chairman of NBCUniversal News Group, said: Morning JoeMSNBC President Rashida Jones and hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski agreed, CNN reported.
On Saturday, Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Crooks fired multiple shots at the stage, one of which ripped through Trump’s ear and injured him.

Maybe it was Joe they were worried about.
Maybe they blame the guest, but MSNBC may choose to take the show off the air. Morning Joe God Only Knows Scarborough He might have said.
This is the same person who intentionally took Trump’s comments about a “catastrophe” in the auto industry out of context and suggested to viewers that Republican supporters would become violent if Trump lost the 2024 election.
He also told viewers during the pandemic: Republican politicians “Euthanizing” the elderly.
This is the man who decided to cancel his own show because he was so worried his guests would be outraged, on one of the biggest news days of the century.
Of course, CNN may need to keep a close eye on its own programming during such contentious times: In 2016, CNN anchors and staff were recorded joking about Donald Trump’s plane crash.
If MSNBC is worried, what will happen on The View this morning, or on the numerous other far-left shows that air on these mainstream media networks?
