Tiffany Cross ‘Disheartened’ By MSNBC Ouster, Says ‘My Work Is Not Done’
Variety ^ | 11/04/22 | Brian Steinberg

Posted on 11/05/2022 3:11:05 AM PDT by Libloather

Tiffany Cross didn’t want to leave MSNBC, and feels she has more to do.

The outspoken weekend anchor, whose show was cancelled earlier Friday by the NBCUniversal-owned cable outlet, said in a statement Friday night that her freewheeling, outspoken style was on the mark for a disruptive era in politics, and indicated she would continue her work elsewhere.

“I am disheartened to learn of MSNBC’s decision to cancel my show, ‘The Cross Connection,’ at such a crucial time - four days before the midterm elections,” Cross said, while spotlighting the program’s ratings. “And we were intentional about centering marginalized voices of the rising majority - from all communities of color.”

MSNBC cut ties with Cross unexpectedly Friday morning, telling her production staff of the decision Friday morning, according to three people familiar with the matter. A rotating group of anchors will lead her weekend hours until a replacement is found, and the production staff assigned to her show is believed to be likely to stay in place.

At partial issue, according to people familiar with the matter, are on-air volleys between Cross and commentators like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, who have criticized the MSNBC anchor’s views in recent months, sometimes spurring across to retort. MSNBC executives felt the segments were not up to standards, but Cross supporters wonder why the network didn’t do more to shield her from the criticism. After all, the show drew an average of more than 600,000 last month, according to Nielsen, though it captured fewer viewers than its time-slot rivals on Fox News and CNN.

“Fresh off the heels of a ‘racial reckoning,’ as so many have called it, we see that with progress there is always backlash,” said Cross.

Like most of the radicals on the Left, she is brainwashed. She doesn't realize she is nothing but a useful idiot.

Did not know that she existed.

However, Variety reported that “the network is parting ways with an anchor who has proven popular with audiences it has sought to attract: Black viewers overall and Black female viewers in particular.”

Guess that she didn't care if I could help her demographics or not.

This is the one and the same the Critical Theory of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and 0bama.

Joe is too stupid for any kind of theory or ideology. He just understands 10% to the Big Guy and little girls.

And re: Putin, I'm just not sure what his deal is.
