Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski’s Disappointment with MSNBC’s Decision to Pull Their Show

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” found themselves in a situation that mirrored former President Donald Trump’s penchant for drama. According to a network insider, Scarborough and Brzezinski have a flair for the dramatic and know how to turn it on for the camera.

The couple returned to “Morning Joe” on Tuesday after their show was pulled on Monday for special coverage of the shocking assassination attempt on Trump’s life. Scarborough, Brzezinski, and anchor Willie Geist addressed the issue at the top of the hour, with Scarborough expressing disappointment that the network didn’t follow through on their promise of one news feed across all NBC news channels.

This revelation left some at the network rolling their eyes and describing Scarborough and Brzezinski as childish and immature. However, an MSNBC spokesperson denied being aware of such sentiment and expressed pride in the show. Scarborough and Brzezinski declined to comment on the company gossip.

Interestingly, a network insider pointed out that “Morning Joe” producers had actually helped produce two of the pre-empted hours of the four-hour show. This suggests that Scarborough and Brzezinski were aware of the special coverage but were disappointed that their show was pulled regardless.

Willie Geist, who worked with Savannah Guthrie over the weekend covering the shooting at Trump’s rally, seemed to support part of Scarborough and Brzezinski’s story. He mentioned being prepared for Monday morning but being told that something else would be broadcast instead.

Scarborough speculated that there may have been blowback about their show’s coverage on Sunday morning, leading to a change in plans. It’s possible that executives wanted to avoid any potential backlash from Scarborough and Brzezinski.

When they returned on Tuesday, Brzezinski described “Morning Joe” as a place where hard conversations can be had in a civil way. She expressed disappointment at not being on the air during such a critical time and believed that viewers would agree with their sentiments.

Sources revealed that many within the network were upset about Scarborough and Brzezinski being pulled off air. They explained that there was a directive to tone down negative commentary on Trump and sideline perspective hosts. However, a spokesperson denied the existence of a top-down directive and pointed out that Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, and Nicole Wallace, who are known for their criticism of Trump, hosted the network’s special coverage of the Republican National Convention.

In conclusion, Scarborough and Brzezinski felt let down by the network’s decision to pull their show and expressed their disappointment on air. Despite some criticism and disagreement within the network, they believed they should have been on the air during such a crucial time. Scarborough concluded by stating that if they were ever told there would be a news feed replacing them in the future, they would be in their chairs.
