Joe Scarborough Has On-Air Hissy Fit About Being Sidelined On Monday<\/span><\/p>\n

On Monday, MSNBC pulled “Morning Joe\u201d\u00a0off the air<\/a>. Sources told CNN that the network pulled the broadcast to “avoid a scenario in which one of the show\u2019s stable of two dozen-plus guests might make an inappropriate comment on live television that could be used to assail the program and network as a whole.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In other words, MSNBC didn\u2019t trust the \u201cMorning Joe\u201d team to be adults.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An MSNBC spokesperson later\u00a0denied<\/a>\u00a0what sources had told CNN.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the gravity and complexity of this unfolding story, NBC News, NBC News NOW and MSNBC have remained in rolling breaking news coverage since Saturday evening,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAs we continue to cover this story into the week, the networks will continue to cross simulcast, alternating between NBC News, NBC News NOW, and \u2018MSNBC Reports\u2019, so there is one news feed covering this developing situation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

However, there was no simulcast. The only show MSNBC pulled was \u201cMorning Joe.\u201d That was no mistake. Of course, that was likely a smart decision, though it leaves me wondering why the network didn\u2019t just get rid of all of its on-air talent for the day and just broadcast reruns of “Saved by the Bell.” It probably would have given MSNBC a boost in viewership.<\/p>\n

To further show just how significant the decision to pull \u201cMorning Joe\u201d was, even ABC\u2019s \u201cThe View\u201d aired as scheduled.<\/p>\n

As my PJ Media colleague Stephen Green\u00a0noted<\/a>, \u201cMorning Joe\u201d is “reportedly Presidentish Joe Biden’s favorite morning show, but he’ll have to wait until at least Tuesday to get his daily fix.”<\/p>\n

Tuesday’s return of \u201cMorning Joe\u201d didn\u2019t disappoint. In fact, Scarborough had a small hissy fit about the network’s decision to take his show off the air.<\/p>\n

“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,”<\/strong><\/em> Scarborough said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“That was going to be one news feed 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.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“We don\u2019t know why that didn\u2019t happen,\u201d <\/strong><\/em>he added.<\/p>\n

“Our team was not given a good answer as to why that didn\u2019t happen, but it didn\u2019t happen.”<\/p>\n

“We were very surprised,” <\/strong><\/em>Scarborough continued.<\/p>\n

“We were very disappointed. And if we had known that there wasn\u2019t going to be the one news feed from NBC News across all NBC News channels, Willie [Geist], we obviously would have been in yesterday morning.”<\/p>\n

Scarborough then threatened to quit if the network ever pulled him off the air again.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When his wife and co-host Mika Brzezinski attempted to change the topic, Scarborough cut her off and said, \u201cLet me just say, next time we\u2019re told there\u2019s going to be a news feed replacing us, we will be in our chairs,\u201d Scarborough warned. \u201cThe news feed will be us, or they can get somebody else to host the show.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

WATCH: Joe Scarborough claims MSNBC lied to him when the network pulled Morning Joe off the air on Monday.<\/p>\n

CNN reported \u201cthe show was pulled to prevent one of its dozens of guests from making an inappropriate comment while live that could paint the show and network in a bad\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/d2Lu1i1huX<\/a><\/p>\n
