Rashida Jones

More than 40 African-American political leaders are demanding a meeting with MSNBC president Rashida Jones over the network’s decision not to renew weekend host Tiffany Cross’ show.
In a letter circulated in recent days and obtained by Semafor, civil rights figures including NAACP president Derrick Johnson and Color of Change president Rashad Robinson, as well as media personalities including the former ESPN commentator Jemele Hill criticized Jones for the move. The letter requests a meeting to “discuss a path forward that is restorative to the reputation and dignity of Ms. Cross.”
“We are deeply disappointed in the abrupt cancellation of the Cross Connection and the unexpected ouster of its host, just four days before a critical midterm election,” the letter says.
The letter also admonishes the network for not renewing Cross after she was the subject of a lengthy recent segment on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show in which he described her rhetoric as “genocidal talk.”
“His intentional misrepresentation of her platform amounted to no less than a direct attack, and should have engendered immediate defense and support of Ms. Cross by her parent network. Instead, it appears that NBCUniversal has allowed Fox News to dictate its hiring and unwarranted firing decisions. We cannot afford to be bullied by those who willingly and wantonly drag this country backwards," the signatories write.

Too bad. Be mad, if you want to.
If MSNBC is weak enough to be intimidated by this protest group, they will lose all control of their network.
I’ just waiting for somebody to wheel Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton out to a waiting megphone.
I wonder if Rashida is related to Rashad.
Racists of a feather stick together.
Rashida Jones
Could it be that Georgie Soroz had her let go....?
I mean that’s a real possiblity right? To have people believe your propaganda you need people that come across as sensible and unbiased, or they quit watching you propaganda.
If nobody said that is what happened, that doesn’t mean it isn’t what happened. Those leaders need to believe it could be what happened. They should pound on his mansion door and tell him to prove he didn’t have a fine upstanding journalist canned.
You beat me to it😂
Too bad. You don’t get everything you want by virtue of being black.
They lost another Tokyo Rose
No one anyone has ever heard of.
Get over it. 🤷🏻♀️
What a crock. These racists see racism everywhere. Couldn’t be that she was a piece of crap and was horrible at her job.
F’M’. If they want the racist bish to work, why don’t they hire her lousy ass? If a Caucasian host talked like she does, the tokens would have been screaming for her to be fired. Double standards SUCK. She deserved to be fired.
Sounds like we got forty black politicians trying to climb in bed with Tiffy.
>>>Black leaders are protesting Tiffany Cross’s firing from MSNBC<<<
OF COURSE they are.
I’ll bet 39 of 40 of those meatheads have no clue what a signatory is. They probably think it is some kind of cheese.
Ms. Cross doesn’t have a reputation and dignity. She’s a racist pig.
That was pretty much Tucker Carlson's attitude, but his staff investigated MSNBC and Tiffany Cross after receiving complaints of her virulent anti-white racism from Tucker's viewers. Tucker showed clips of Cross to his huge audience. She reminded me of Malcolm X. Anti-white hate piled on anti-white hate. I suspect that some of Tucker's audience let their disapproval be known to Comcast.
Best laugh of the day! Let them protest WGAF.
What are they going to do - boycott MSNBC?! No one watches anyway.
