For some years MSNBC has run a morning news show hosted by black women on the weekends, when viewers are still asleep. The show has had several different hosts, none of which the Big Guys seemed able to get along with. I suspect that the hosts have been too black, too feisty and too female.
The latest host to get fired is Tiffany Cross, someone the Big Guys claimed did not meet their network standards (for how women of color should behave on air).
Cross's show presented points of view seldom seen on network television. I watched it regularly. It was a break from the same old canned stuff. Now I can look forward to more of the identical scripts and clips that get repeated at hourly intervals.
