MSNBC Officially Cuts Ties With Melissa Harris-Perry Over Beyoncé’s 'Formation' Video

“When she said wanted to discuss Beyoncé’s new video, ‘Formation,’ and how it addresses race, she said she was encouraged to focus on the election instead. She wound up discussing the video anyway but as she did, footage of Jeb Bush and Chris Christie rallies in New Hampshire appeared in a box, an indication that the network’s priorities were shifting.”

Msnbc isn't even trying to hid their contempt for black journalists. How many have been marginalized only to be canned so far?

with the exception of (award winning) Chris Hayes and maybe Rachel. I guess they want to go back to business as usual, oh well. But I'm through with MSNBC since they are through with PoC.
