Is MSNBC Dead?

Описание: MSNBC has decided to part ways with hose Melissa Harris-Perry after weeks of tension. There was a lot of disagreement over what she could and couldn’t cover on her show. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Two days after an email became public in which Ms. Harris-Perry said she felt “worthless” to NBC News executives, and after two weeks of her show being pre-empted so that the network could cover other news, an MSNBC spokesman on Sunday confirmed that the network and Ms. Harris-Perry were “parting ways.”

Ms. Harris-Perry said in an email on Sunday that she was not in direct communication with anyone at the network but that “terms of severance, not reconciliation” were still being negotiated.

Ms. Harris-Perry also posted a message on Twitter that said, “Inviting diverse new voices to table was a privilege. Grateful for years of support & criticism.”

Even by the occasionally dramatic standards of television news, this was an unusually messy breakup. In an interview with The New York Times on Friday, Ms. Harris-Perry said that she was frustrated that MSNBC had effectively sidelined her.”*
