MSNBC yanks anti-Trump 'Morning Joe' off air following assassination attempt

According to a CNN report, a person familiar with the decision said it was made in part over fear that one of the show's many guests over a 4-hour broadcast "might make an inappropriate comment on live television that could be used to assail the program and network as a whole." - The call by MSNBC to keep "Morning Joe" off the airwaves shocked political observers, with some conservatives saying it demonstrated a lack of trust in one of its most high-profile shows to sensitively cover a fraught situation. "The fact that Morning Joe's own network can't trust its flagship brand not to spew reckless and inflammatory crap during breaking news tells you all you need to know about the credibility of the MSNBC line-up," a veteran Republican consultant told Fox News Digital.

MSNBC has been the most off-the-rails promoter of Covid-19 disinformation.  It was shocking to hear Rachel Maddow declare on multiple occasions that having the mRNA shot prevented people from both getting Covid-19 and spreading it. Completely irresponsible and completely wrong. 

 

It's difficult to watch a "news program" that has a perspective it always thinks is correct. May as well read TASS everyday.

 

NBC needs to rein them in. That Covid wrongness should shoulder them with a gazillion lawsuits.

And what about Trump's asinine covid wrongness that killed several hundred thousand people? Are, or were, your panties equally twisted about that? No? Smells like hypocrisy.

She was incorrect in those statements.  But Fox News propped up the ineffective ivermectin beginning in December 2020 with most of these lies from Ingraham, Hannity, and Carlson.  How many people died from this disinformation?  The mRNA vaccine saved lives while two US studies showed that ivermectin was ineffective.  https://www.vox.com/22894978/covid-19-vaccine-lives-saved-deaths-avoided-omicron-chart

You forget about the $757.5 million Fox News paid for their defamation of Dominion and the 2020 election. 

Expect NewsMax to be gone after losing both of their defamation cases of over $1billion each brought by Dominion and Smartmatic.  Don't forget that Gateway Pundit filed bankruptcy because of their defamation lawsuits.  Seems like it is a problem for both sides but more for those that spread Trump lies.

Notice how Robert Dietz doesnt give examples?   There's a reason why,

 

 

Conservatives are really upset that people who made death threats and supported the insurrection on Jan 6th had their social media accounts shut down - because in their view free speech eclipses people who spread violence and gather mobs.   The other big "whopper" they are upset about is the massive amount of COVID  disinformation that was identified on social media which wasnt censored but rather fact-checked.    And the fact-checking really pissed them off.   In both cases it wasnt "Democrats" who engaged the enforcement but rather social media administrators trying to be responsible with their platforms.

 

But here's some actual political censorship that I wonder if RObert Dietz loses any sleep over:

 

 

-In Florida you cant mention "climate change" in any official document because that phrase has been banned

 

 

-You cant read books like Roberto Clemente's biography in FLorida because references dark aspects of the civil rights era which makes conservatives uncomfortable

 

-There has been a massive effort to ban books in schools over the last four years.   You can see this link to identify states with most banned books in schools.        Take a wild guess which party is heading that effort.   I'll give you a hint - many of the books reference Civil Rights, LGBT, or American slavery themes.

 Amazing how a topic goes sideways - always excuses because someone did something different  - apples and oranges

 

These are nothing compared to censoring qualified experts vis-a-vis the mRNA shots. You're talking about cultural talking points versus censoring individuals online who are credentialed and qualified to render opinions on the biggest story of our lifetime. Not all censorship has the same consequences.

 

For those who buy into the single study purporting to show "mRNA shots saved lives," I suggest that you divide your analysis into the reality -- the first three incarnations of the virus (mRNA likely saved lives) and what has come after. What has come after is that the mRNA has likely cost lives, although those over 50 may be in toss-up range.

 

Again, I notice that the pro-mRNA crowd doesn't mention the excess deaths since the mRNA shots began. Those excess deaths run about 10 percent in the US (which has redefined its way of "counting") and well into the 15% to 20% range and beyond in Denmark, Japan, and many other countries, who have not redefined their way of measuring excess deaths. Correlation doesn't translate directly into cause-and-effect, but there is a relationship between percent of population having taken the shots and the excess deaths.

 

If you don't know anything about this, or don't mention it, I have to ask why. Shame on you for making the argument without mentioning this. Could censorship of the topic have anything to do with it? If this were anything other than government-backed corporations associated with 10-20% excess mortality in countries, these numbers would be on the news every other night until some conclusions were reached or something was done or, at the least, it was explained.

 

There is nothing ho-hum or normal about 20% excess death numbers across the globe, with those numbers correlating with mRNA-shot percentages.

What is the correlation that you base your information on, what is the percentage relationship that you cite?
