Melissa Harris-Perry walks off her MSNBC show after a series of preemptions
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/27/bu...ions.html?_r=0
In an e-mail to her bosses at MSNBC, Harris-Perry expressed frustration that her weekend show keeps getting pulled from presidential campaign coverage. “I will not be used as a tool for their purposes,” she wrote. “I am not a token, mammy, or little brown bobble head. I am not owned by (NBC News chairman Andrew) Lack, (MSNBC president Phil) Griffin or MSNBC. I love our show. I want it back.” |
