WATCH: ‘Morning Joe’ Hosts MELT DOWN On Their Own Network For Pulling Show Off Air

One day after being pulled off the air by MSNBC executives afraid of what they might say, “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski kicked off Tuesday’s program with a fresh diatribe against their network overlords.

Addressing his viewers “who watch us every day,” the former Republican congressman turned liberal commentator said he was both “surprised and disappointed” to learn that his show was going to be yanked from its regular morning hour two days after a brazen assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. CNN previously reported that MSNBC feared what Scarborough or his guests might say during a delicate time when Trump allies were on high alert for any comment that could be construed as an understanding of the near-fatal shooting.

“Let’s talk about what happened yesterday. We were told in no uncertain terms on Sunday evening that there was gonna be one newsfeed across all NBC news channels yesterday. In today’s show, Lester Holt, other people, you worked with on Sunday, were told that there was going to be one newsfeed across all NBC News channels that we were going to stay as a network in breaking news mode throughout all day yesterday. That did not happen. We don’t know why that didn’t happen. Our team was not given a good answer as to why that didn’t happen, but it didn’t happen,” Scarborough ranted.

“We were also told it was going to happen throughout the day, and I guess after there was such strong blowback about yesterday morning, I guess they changed their plans, and so those plans changed as well. So, it didn’t, um, you know, we’ve talked about it off the air, we’ll talk about it on the air, because we talk about everything on the air. We were very surprised, we were very disappointed, and if we had known there was going to be the one newsfeed for NBC News across all NBC News channels, we obviously wouldn’t have been in yesterday morning,” he continued.

Senior correspondent Willie Geist agreed with that sentiment, thanking viewers for “trusting us” to deliver the news but expressing equal disappointment after he learned about the change on short notice.

“We’d like to figure out exactly why there wasn’t that one newsfeed,” Scarborough repeated, ostensibly upset that his program was shelved after being given a plan by the network that ultimately wasn’t followed. Later in the day, MSNBC continued with its regular programming and provided live updates about the vice presidential selection of Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and the Republican National Convention.

“I think the reason why, and why this show continues 17 years later, is on being the place where you can go to have the hard conversations in a civil way. And so it seemed like now more than ever is a day, a time when we would like to be on. And I think our viewers agree with that. So we continue,” Brzezinski added lamely.

“Morning Joe” has consistently returned some of MSNBC’s highest ratings at a time when the network has led Fox News at times, forcing executives to make tough decisions about its overall strategy. Following the October 7th, 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas, MSNBC canned longtime anchor Mehdi Hasan and terminated contracts with three Muslim correspondents, igniting fury from the left about why the network was suppressing Islamic points of view following the deadly mass murder.
