MSNBC's Harris-Perry Says She Won’t Appear On Her Show After Pre-Emptions
tpm ^ | 2-26-2016 | ALLEGRA KIRKLAND

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. Though Harris-Perry told the Times she did not know if her show had been canceled, she said she felt "betrayed" by network executives.

Harris-Perry learns the hard lesson that lefties can be as cut throat as they come when it comes down to the almighty dollar.

She can try her tears with the tampons.

MSNBC has TV programs on Saturday and Sunday?

I seem to recall they had Michael Savage on Saturdays for a while. A brief while. Maybe four, maybe five weeks?

developing trust with our viewers...
Anything with NBC as the owner or partner deserves no trust.

Why is she apparently wearing baby tampons as earrings?

MSNBC has thinned out a few of the communists now after seeing ratings undoubtedly soar, with programs like Morning Joe, Jake Tapper, and MTP Daily with F. Chuck Todd.

Up until now, and who knows how long it will last after the Republican nomination, these programs and CNN have covered TRUMP without any FOX-like viciousness, bias, and hatred, from almost the beginning of his campaign.

They’ve not been invested in eviscerating him, but in simply covering him, because he has made himself available to them, never avoids them and has “no problem” answering their questions.

All two of them?

Begging your pardon, Sam, but for a true (cough) ebonics flavour, the brand-phrase should more probably be:

'Ebonics 'B' Us'

Should it not?

Pardon my error, Sam, please. Clearly, the phrase should have been typed as:

'Racisss 'B' Us'.

Bad day in the mkts, sorry for the error.

Well, that clears the air for coverage of tomorrow’s South Carolina primary for the Democrats....and they can go over the results on Sunday. This gives MSNBC a whole week to find a replacement. But maybe she was fired at that.

MHP, there are presidential elections every four years in the USA. They are newsworthy events.

Indeed. Yet...’racisss’ would be racist. Since it is a manufactured word from us white and oh-so-privileged cracker-ass white folks.

Hahahahhaha. I’ve read some of the comments form here 12 supporters. They are claiming she spoke the truck about the black community here the reason she was pre-emptied. Sure, whatever you want to believe.
