Over 40 black leaders, journalists reportedly demand meeting with MSNBC president — who also is black — over ouster of far-left host Tiffany Cross



More than 40 black leaders and journalists reportedly have demanded a meeting with MSNBC President Rashida Jones — who also is black — over last week's cancellation of far-left host Tiffany Cross from the decidedly far-left cable network.

What are the details?

Notable figures such as NAACP President Derrick Johnson and former ESPN commentator Jemele Hill were among the signatories, according to Semafor, which said it obtained a copy of the letter. Other outlets, including the Huffington Post, ran with the story as well.

The letter criticized Jones for the move against Cross, and those who signed it wanted the meeting to “discuss a path forward that is restorative to the reputation and dignity of Ms. Cross," Semafor said.

“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 also says, according to the outlet.

According to the Huffington Post, the letter also said, “Given the undeniable rise of fascism and persistent threats to democracy we face in the current moment, NBC should be an unrelenting force for truth and a safe harbor for voices like Ms. Cross as well as those with whom she shared her broad and popular platform."

Tucker Carlson still targeted

A Huffington Post writer blamed Fox News' Tucker Carlson for Cross' ouster, and the letter echoed that sentiment, condemning Carlson’s “targeted, racist and misogynistic strike” against Cross’ show and stating that MSNBC let Fox News to bully it into taking Cross' show off the air, HuffPost said.

Here are details from HuffPost writer Sara Boboltz's piece targeting Carlson:

In late October, Carlson aired a segment about Cross that swiftly received criticism from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The Fox host told his audience that Cross was fomenting a “race war” against white people.

Carlson likened “The Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross” and MSNBC to the Rwandan media outlet Radio Television Libre des Mille Collines, which stoked the 1994 Rwandan genocide.“Do they know what’s happening on their channel? Are they OK with this?” Carlson asked of MSNBC’s corporate leadership.

Here's the Carlson segment in question:

Tucker Carlson: MSNBC's open race hate should worry you deeply youtu.be

'Repeated bad behavior on and off-air. Bad judgment.'

However, it seems there may be some disagreement — perhaps even at MSNBC — about the reason for Cross' exit from the cable network. In fact, a source close to the situation told Fox News that Cross got canned for "repeated bad behavior on and off-air. Bad judgment."

The details concerning said "bad behavior" and "bad judgment" aren't clear, but beyond Carlson's scathing rebuke of Cross, she offered no shortage of nasty comments about conservatives during her time in front of the camera.

To wit: She once said there's already a "civil war" raging in the United States, urged liberals to "pick up a weapon" in the fight for democracy, and called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas "Justice Pubic Hair on My Coke Can," Fox News said.

Cross also ripped U.S. Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) as a "token" and suggested Harriet Tubman — who helped rescue slaves on the Underground Railroad — would have left Scott behind. She also has said she'd be willing to carry out the "the most radical" of solutions to fix what she sees as police brutality and racist criminal justice, which is to "burn it down."

MSNBC responds

According to HuffPost, an MSNBC spokesperson said in a statement that "we received a letter signed by several organizations. We are proud of our long history celebrating diversity on and off air at MSNBC and throughout the News Group. This is an ongoing effort, and we’ll continue to elevate diverse perspectives and voices during this election season and beyond.”

Anything else?

Readers blasted the Huffington Post for targeting Carlson in relation to Cross' exit from MSNBC — and they also ripped the letter writers who are demanding a meeting with Jones. The following are but a few of the comments that appeared under a Yahoo News reprint of HuffPost's piece:

  • "I see no reason why the President of MSNBC should even consider meeting with this group of Cross supporters. Obviously these people condone her comments which do not reflect well on any journalist regardless of race, creed, or national origin. ..."
  • "40 black 'leaders' admit they have no idea how to run a successful business and do not understand what ad revenue and ratings are and want special treatment that ignores reality."
  • "Over 40 black leaders can build their own network and hire her."

Megyn Kelly savagely celebrates ouster of 'the most racist person in all of television': 'Joy, oh, joy!'



Megyn Kelly savagely celebrated MSNBC's decision to fire host Tiffany Cross, whom Kelly described as "the most racist person in all of television."

What is the background?

Last week, MSNBC abruptly parted ways with Cross, who hosted a weekend TV show on the network.

A source told Fox News that MSNBC executives quickly canned Cross upon the conclusion of her two-year contract over "repeated bad behavior on and off-air" and "bad judgement." Cross repeatedly generated headlines for controversial segments that focused on racism and for tarnishing anyone not aligned with her progressive agenda.

Variety similarly reported that Cross' relationship with executives had become "frayed."

What did Kelly say?

On her SiriusXM radio show on Friday, Kelly proclaimed, "Joy, oh, joy! Tiffany Cross is gone!"

"I tip my hat to MSNBC and NBC for doing the right thing, because she was — she was — the most racist person in television," Kelly declared.

Kelly then provided examples of Cross' outrageous opinions, explaining:

  • "She was upset when Tua [Tagovailoa] got hurt, the concussion thing, which I was upset with, too. But she took it racial. She was like, 'All these white owners making these black players—' Tua’s not black, and the coach was not white."
  • "She blasted Republican members of Congress as white supremacists a day after the Wisconsin jury acquitted [Kyle] Rittenhouse. Somehow, that made the Republican members of Congress white supremacists."
  • "She called Rittenhouse a 'little murderous white supremacist.'"
  • "She said we should all be concerned about white replacement, 'It is, after all, a very threat to our survival here — white replacement can strangle culture.' I thought we weren't suppose to be talking about 'replacement theories'? I thought that was racist."

After Kelly read one more example of Cross' commentary — in which she suggested that "white women" who participated in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots engaged in behavior close to "domestic terrorism" — conservative radio host Dana Loesch tore into Cross.

"Her whole show, if memory serves, the content is essentially a YouTube comment section," Loesch said. "That's her whole content: just one angry YouTube comment section diatribe.

"I can see why, Megyn, it didn’t offer much value to the network," Loesch mocked.

Anything else?

After Kelly criticized Cross last month — calling her a "dumba**" — Cross responded by telling Kelly to "move on with your life" because she "is not going to claw her way back to social relevance on my show."

Clearly, Kelly got the last laugh.

Tucker Carlson somehow blamed for exit of leftist host Tiffany Cross from far-left MSNBC — and writer who targeted Tucker gets absolutely torched



A writer from the decidedly left-leaning outlet the Huffington Post blamed Fox News' Tucker Carlson for the recent exit of leftist host Tiffany Cross from MSNBC, an ultra-liberal competitor of Fox News.

The headline of Sara Boboltz's piece reads, "MSNBC Cancels 'The Cross Connection' After Tucker Carlson Verbally Attacks Host." Boboltz doesn't dance around things in the text of her Saturday story, either, saying the "move came after Cross had become a target of attacks from" Carlson.

Here's more from her piece:

In late October, Carlson aired a segment about Cross that swiftly received criticism from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The Fox host told his audience that Cross was fomenting a “race war” against white people.

Carlson likened “The Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross” and MSNBC to the Rwandan media outlet Radio Television Libre des Mille Collines, which stoked the 1994 Rwandan genocide.“Do they know what’s happening on their channel? Are they OK with this?” Carlson asked of MSNBC’s corporate leadership.

Here's the Carlson segment in question:

Tucker Carlson: MSNBC's open race hate should worry you deeplyyoutu.be

Boboltz in her story said the "network did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment on Saturday."

The HuffPost writer added that the ADL said Carlson had “again used his platform to stoke racial tensions, falsely and dangerously accusing a Black @MSNBC host of instigating a genocide against white people" and that the group tweeted: “His incitement and trivialization of the Rwandan genocide must be forcefully condemned.”

'Repeated bad behavior on and off-air. Bad judgment.'

It seems there may be some disagreement — perhaps even at MSNBC — about the reason for Cross' exit from the cable network. In fact, a source close to the situation told Fox News that Cross got canned for "repeated bad behavior on and off-air. Bad judgment."

The details concerning said "bad behavior" and "bad judgment" aren't clear, but beyond Carlson's scathing rebuke of Cross, she offered no shortage of nasty comments about conservatives during her time in front of the camera.

To wit: She once said there's already a "civil war" raging in the United States, urged liberals to "pick up a weapon" in the fight for democracy, and called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas "Justice Pubic Hair on My Coke Can," Fox News said.

Cross also ripped U.S. Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) as a "token" and suggested Harriet Tubman — who helped rescue slaves on the Underground Railroad — would have left Scott behind. She also has said she'd be willing to carry out the "the most radical" of solutions to fix what she sees as police brutality and racist criminal justice, which is to "burn it down."

'Absolute nonsense'

What's more, folks commenting on Boboltz's story as it appeared on Yahoo News blasted the writer, as well as her news outlet, for blaming Carlson:

  • "HuffPost doesn't see the racism they pretend to care about in Cross because it's like looking into a mirror to them," one commenter said.
  • "Ahhhh, so pointing out that she's instigating racism herself is now considered 'attacking' her..." another commenter observed.
  • "Puffpost at its best," another commenter quipped. "When did MSNBC ever do anything based upon a Tucker Carlson commentary?"
  • "I think Ms. Boboltz of HuffPost is going to have a very short journalistic career with a piece like this," another commenter wrote. "Absolute nonsense. MSNBC thrives on Fox News hate; they certainly aren't going to fire a host based on what a Fox News host has to say."

Leftist MSNBC host — who called Clarence Thomas 'Justice Pubic Hair on My Coke Can' — booted off network for 'repeated bad behavior on and off-air,' source says​



One of MSNBC's legion of leftist hosts — Tiffany Cross — reportedly has been shown the door at the cable network.

What are the details?

Cross — a controversial figure who hosted the weekend program "The Cross Connection" — was let go because executives had had it with her poor overall judgment, a source close to the situation told Fox News.

"Repeated bad behavior on and off-air. Bad judgment," the source divulged to Fox News in regard to the reason Cross was canned.

MSNBC decided not to renew Cross’ contract after two years and then quickly got rid of her, Fox News said, adding that the move was described internally as a programming decision; Cross' staff were told Friday and will stay put and work on whatever is to be placed in "The Cross Connection's" time slot.

Cross will be replaced by rotating guest anchors until a permanent replacement is named, the cable network noted.

After her exit from MSNBC became public, Cross began retweeting supportive messages from her fans — and many of them were critical of MSNBC, Fox News said, adding that MSNBC declined to comment.

Justice 'Pubic Hair on My Coke Can'

Cross was known for making nasty comments about conservatives, Fox News said.

She once said there's already a "civil war" raging in the United States, urged liberals to "pick up a weapon" in the fight for democracy, and called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas "Justice Pubic Hair on My Coke Can," Fox News said.

Cross also ripped U.S. Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) as a "token" and suggested Harriet Tubman — who helped rescue slaves on the Underground Railroad — would have left Scott behind. She also has said she'd be willing to carry out the "the most radical" of solutions to fix what she sees as police brutality and racist criminal justice, which is to "burn it down."

Fox News said Cross in August went against a left-wing media talking point that the economy was doing better, declaring that it "ain't doing better for us," which is to say minority communities.

Cross also blasted Republicans who celebrated the courtroom acquittal of Kenosha, Wisconsin, shooter Kyle Rittenhouse: "I find these people disgusting," she said, according to Fox News last year.

In addition, she also referred to Justice Thomas as "Tom," which was an apparent "Uncle Tom" reference, Fox News said.

If you listen to corporate media, you'd think Clarence Thomas is a dark-skinned white supremacist. This couldn't be further from the truth.

MSNBC guest claims Democrats are your saviors, says DOJ should 'help' Dems win midterm elections: 'They saved your life'



Political analyst Fernand Amandi claimed Saturday on MSNBC that the Democratic Party is the savior of the American people, and he urged Attorney General Merrick Garland to "help" Democrats win the 2022 midterm elections.

Amandi is an MSNBC analyst, according to his Twitter bio.

What did he say?

Amandi told MSNBC host Tiffany Cross on "The Cross Connection" that Democrats need a consolidated message to sell voters if they want to retain control of Congress after the 2022 midterm elections.

That message, according to Amandi, should essentially be: Democrats are your saviors.

"The Democrats have a wonderful story to tell, and I think it could be distilled to something as simple as: The Democrats saved your life. They saved your job. They saved the economy. And now they're trying to save democracy from a Republican Party that no longer believes [in] it," Amandi said.

Even if Democrats consolidate around a single message, Amandi acknowledged Democrats will need "help" pulling off the victory. That help, Amandi suggested, should come from Attorney General Merrick Garland.

"Let me talk about the help, though, because it's one thing to try and disqualify a Republican Party that no longer believes in democracy, but you need a little bit of help," Amandi began.

"If the Department of Justice, and the attorney general, Merrick Garland, do not start issuing indictments — not to the frontline of Proud Boys and picknickers of Jan 6 that led an insurrection — but to the perpetrators of the crime: the members of Congress who we now know through text messages were plotters, the ringleaders at the top echelon of the Republican Party, up into including the Republican president, Donald Trump, voters are not going to believe that, they're gonna just think that it's political back-and-forth," he continued.

"The Justice Department needs to hold the perpetrators accountable," Amandi declared. "The Democrats need to tell the truth. We saved your life. We saved your job. We're trying now to save the economy and to save democracy."

"The Democrats need to tell the truth. We saved your life, we saved your job, we're trying now to save the economy and save democracy." @AmandiOnAir on how the Democrats need to step up their message to the American people to be able to win the midterm elections #CrossConnectionpic.twitter.com/EzB8770p8C

Later in the interview, Amandi claimed there is only one choice this November: Democracy or fascism.

"If these Republicans gain control, they will not give it back.We will lose democracy. And if you lose democracy, it's not the sort of thing that you get back. 'Oh well, we'll hold it out for five years. You may not see it again in your lifetime in this country," Amandi said. "They saved your life. They saved your job, the economy, and they're trying to save democracy. Make the case."

Cross agreed that "is the message that voters need to hear."
