The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

SCARBOROUGH: We want to briefly talk to our friends and viewers that watch us every day and talk about what happened yesterday. We were told, in no uncertain terms, Sunday evening that there was going to be one newsfeed across all NBC News channels yesterday. The Today Show, it'd be Lester Holt, other people you worked with on Sunday, and that was going to be one newsfeed across all NBC News channels, that we were going to stay as a network in breaking news mode, all day yesterday. That did not happen. We don't know why it didn't happen. Our team was not given a good answer as to why that didn't happen, but it didn't happen.

We were also told it was going to happen throughout the day, and I guess, after there was such strong blowback about yesterday morning, I guess they changed their plans and so those plans changed as well. So it didn't, and, you know, we've talked about it off the air and we'll talk about it on the air because we talk about everything on the air. We were very surprised, we were very disappointed, and if we had known there wasn't going to be the one newsfeed from NBC News across all NBC News channels, we obviously would have been in yesterday morning.

Oh, noes!

X (Twitter): Clay Travis on X: "Trump broke MSNBC. @JoeNBC says this morning, the day after his bosses didn’t allow him to go on air, that if @MSNBC bumps them from the air

SCARBOROUGH: Yeah, we all wish we had been here yesterday, and we are still, we'd like to figure out why there wasn't that one newsfeed.

BRZEZINSKI: Well, and I think the reason why is that this show began and continues 17 years later as the place where you can go to have the hard conversations in a civil way, and so, it seemed like, now more than ever, is a day, a time that we would like to be on, and I think our viewers agree with that so we continue. So we continue. We are five past the top of the hour...

SCARBOROUGH: And let me just say, we, next time we're told there's going to be a newsfeed replacing us, we will be in our chairs.

BRZEZINSKI: We'll be sitting here (nervous laughter)

SCARBOROUGH: And the newsfeed will be us or they can get somebody else to host the show.

BRZEZINSKI: We'll still be sitting here.

Pro tip, Joe: Never throw a bluff out there you don't want called.
