MSNBC yanks anti-Trump 'Morning Joe' off air following assassination attempt
SUMMARY
In the wake of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, MSNBC pulled its flagship show "Morning Joe" from airing on Monday, replacing it with NBC News special coverage. The decision, influenced by concerns that guests might make inappropriate comments, was made by NBCUniversal News Group Chairman Cesar Conde, MSNBC President Rashida Jones, and the show's co-hosts. The move shocked political observers, with critics arguing it demonstrated a lack of trust in the program's ability to handle sensitive topics. The show's hosts, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, have a contentious history with Trump, initially supporting him but later becoming harsh critics. "Morning Joe" will resume airing on Tuesday.
