MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry boycotts her own show, suggests racism in letter to staff

MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry is boycotting her own show claiming she has lost editorial control of the program and is frustrated over pre-emptions for political coverage.

In an email to her staff, Harris-Perry blasted NBC News chairman Andrew Lack and/or MSNBC president Phil Griffin for treating her show without respect and suggested she is part of the network for racial purposes.

“I will not be used as a tool for their purposes,” Harris-Perry, 42, wrote. “I am not a token, mammy, or little brown bobble head. I am not owned by Lack, Griffin or MSNBC. I love our show. I want it back.”

She’s not boycotting her show because of racism.

She is boycotting it ahead of her known cancellation...

Freak...

She got the job because she is black. She probably got pre-empted due to her performance, marketability.

Well, she’s definitely not the token liberal idiot...

Follow the money? Really in the end it’s about the dollars. You were what you were and we paid for it. Now you’re not worth it.

Harris-Perry should be lucky she has a show at all, and it’s only MSNBC that could conceivably give her one. She won’t be happy until they make her CEO of MSNBC, and even then she won’t be happy, because, after all, MSNBC is a dying , racist enterprise. She and Michelle Obama would have fun on a date.

Time for a fill in or just let her go! There are plenty of people capable of doing even better.

Suspect Jessie Jackson to show up with empty suitcases that need to be filled. Protestors waiting in the wings.

Maybe.
Possibly also a political direction from the top. MSNBC is becoming less left wing this campaign season, or am I wrong there?

Nope.

She is race bating, witless, dullard.

Humble told me so...

“Who? Never heard of her.”

She’s kind of a more irritating and ugly version of Rachel Madcow.
