MSNBC might be sending temperatures plummeting in liberal circles with what could be a once-in-a-lifetime move that has conservatives chuckling in disbelief—pulling the plug on “Morning Joe” in the wake of the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. This shocker of an action appears to indicate that even the folks at the far-left network noticed the lunacy reaching critical levels.
Evidently, it took a near-tragic event for MSNBC to recognize that the unhinged rhetoric streaming out of their own studio might just be a smidge too much. For once, the network might be contemplating that pushing endless vitriol against conservatives can have real-world, violent consequences. Who knew? Apparently, the light bulb went off, even if it flickered momentarily.

“Morning Joe” has long been a bastion of left-wing banter, with its hosts routinely launching verbal grenades at anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders. But, when even MSNBC big shots decide it’s time for a timeout, one has to wonder if this is the start of a tiny shift in the media landscape. Of course, one shouldn’t hold their breath. After all, if a leopard changes its spots, it may still be eyeing its next meal from the same ideological menu.
This stunt, albeit temporary, might serve as a wake-up call for a network that seemingly thrives on outrage and divisiveness. No doubt, the liberal echo chamber is feeling some whiplash, grappling with this unexpected concession to sanity. What’s next, CNN airing a Mike Pence interview without a sneer?
Let’s not get too carried away. While it’s amusing to watch MSNBC scramble to tweak its sensationalism just a tad, the root problem remains as deep as the swamp in D.C. Still, for once, the morning airwaves were a little less toxic without “Morning Joe,” and for that, the world is a slightly better place—if only for a day.
