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.

First, she's going to need to file for unemployment.
O/T, my plans for September through November were disrupted...after being a victim of a "reorganization", i.e. owners decided to go younger and cheaper on the premise that Quickbooks was all they needed to run their finances, I planned on a break through Thanksgiving.
Several weeks into that "break", I was contacted by the HR Director at a real estate company in Downtown Dallas. I was interviewed on a Wednesday, hired on Friday, just completed my first month on the job.
I now thank my former company for making it possible. The only pressure I'm feeling is self induced, due to the welcome I've received. I definitely landed in the right place for what I call my "last rodeo".
“Putin, I’m just not sure what his deal is. “
Yeah, there is a lot of that going around.
When you’re too crazy for MSNBC, it’s time to call for those nice young men in their clean white suits.
The fact that she was fired before Al Sharpton speaks volumes.
Thanks for confirming. I didn’t think I’d ever seen her, and now I’m sure.
I awakened to just how badly the legacy media was lying to us in April of 2020, and there’s been no going back. My wife watches a little bit of it, but not when I’m in the room. She doesn’t like me asking “Do we have to have these liars on the screen?”
He looks and behaves like a classical autocrat with very little interest in political ideology.

Looks like she could be a nice person, however, it is sad that her synapses fired in opposing polarity!
Most of what she said was distinctly America-hating and anti-white rantings.
Last week Mark Levin was bashing her on his radio show wondering why Comcast is employing her. I guess Levin has more pull than I thought.
She will become a professor of African Studies at some prestigious Ivy League University no doubt.
Holy cow, nice work! Do you have a list of all the riots the DemoMarxists held during Trumps term? That would be a nice list to shove in the faces of all the leftists who keep screaming about January 6th. I was pointing out last week the riots that went on during Trumps inauguration, completely ignored, no committee investigating that.
Father of Critical (Race) Theory?
Her work is not done? It is at MSNBC baby.
The problem for these tokens is that like new rap groups, they are a dime a dozen; they have no real bargaining power. They are employed as virtue signaling and to pay the diversity tax, but they offer nothing anyone on a street corner can’t do.
In the Aztec sense.
That statement alone admits that she isn't a jurinalist and has an agenda that only the fringe embraces, she's lucky she lasted as long as she did, which says something about the management at MSLSD.
Maybe said management see's the red wave coming and wants to get ahead of it, will be interesting to see if the content on Morning Blow with his whore adjusts to reality.
