Frustrated with what she described as a lack of editorial control, MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry told the New York Times on Friday that she will not appear on her show this weekend.
"Our show was taken--without comment or discussion or notice--in the midst of an election season," Harris-Perry wrote in an email to colleagues that was obtained by the Times. "After four years of building an audience, developing a brand and developing trust with our viewers, we were effectively and utterly silenced."
The MSNBC host expressed frustration at having her regular time slot--10 a.m. to noon on Saturday and Sunday--taken over for coverage of the 2016 presidential primary.

Nobody watches you drama queen anyway

My Christianity precludes me from saying what I would like but wow, really?

Adios, Harris-Perry, enjoy your affirmative action life.
"Racists 'R' Us".
It's got everything. A truthful ring. It's short and easy for lower life forms like Perry to remember. And it's got Ebonics.
I think it's perfect.
That could be the network’s way of telling you that you’re fired.
The ultimate indignity as it was probably a non paying job.
“Don’t you know who I am?â€
Boy, you hit that nail on the head.
I was going to say 12 people will be disappointed.
Your estimate may be too generous.
Because it’s all about whomever she is.

Say it ain’t so. MSNBC has TV programs on Saturday and Sunday?
We’re all deeply saddened.
