Woahhhh, strong words from Melissa Harris-Perry were reported by the New York Times.
Aparently she is frustrate with pre-emptions at her show. She confirmed she will not be returning to her show and the Times reported:
In a phone interview, Ms. Harris-Perry confirmed she would not appear on the show this weekend.
She said she had received no word about whether her show, which runs from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturdays and Sundays, had been canceled, but said she was frustrated that her time slot had faced pre-emptions for coverage of the presidential election. She said she had not appeared on the network at all “for weeks” and that she was mostly sidelined during recent election coverage in South Carolina and New Hampshire. (She was asked to return this weekend.)
In her email, Ms. Harris-Perry wrote that she was not sure if the NBC News chairman, Andrew Lack, or Phil Griffin, the MSNBC president, were involved in the way her show was handled recently, but she directed blame toward both.
“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 Lack, Griffin or MSNBC.
I love our show. I want it back.”
Go Melissa!
