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.

‘My Work Is Not Done’
Yeah, so?
Go find a street corner with all the other crazy people...
What do they get, about 250,000 viewers? C'mon man!
And she won’t even have to pretend that she is a Cherokee in order to get on the payroll.
Thx.
She didn’t belong on the air in the first place. NBC still sucks, IOW.
That took about five minutes. :^)
Btt!!
There are folks around here who are much more well-informed on the Frankfort School than I am.
Perhaps they'll see this thread and help out.
Oh noooo….that’s too bad…maybe she can learn to code…
Since she’s part of the Klan with a Tan, she could call her new show The Burning Cross Connection.
They loved her content but couldn’t put up with the bad ratings. Even at MSDNC they know bad ratings don’t pay the bills.
Sorry Twinkie. Your “work” is way over done. Go get a real job at a fast-food joint or a dollar store. That’s more your racist ass style.
Ain’t Affimative Action wonderful.
Take heart ex. The diesel shortage is in the northeast only. Supplies will be tight, prices might rise, but there will be fuel. We are even sending you some from Canada.
Just think, Keystone would probably be finished by now.
Well thanks for the help.
Her work is not done.....as long as there is an American black person that doesn’t hate Whitey or a white person that doesn’t self-loath, she is correct.
Hmm, maybe under a keyword...
