MSNBC weekend host Tiffany Cross has been suddenly let go by the network, a source familiar with the situation confirmed to The Daily Beast.

snip//

The source also told The Daily Beast that Cross’s commentary had repeatedly crossed the line by failing to adhere to the network’s editorial standards.

While noting that it was not tied to one specific incident or remark, the source did point out that just this past Thursday night, Cross referred to Florida as “the dick of the country” during an appearance on Charlamagne tha God’s Comedy Central show.

Additionally, Cross has come under intense fire from conservative media over her increasingly strident commentary about race and white Americans, and the show had long been a source of controversy for MSNBC.

1. So much for MSNBC being liberal, which they are NOT.

They have several great people on there that I watch, but I don't mess with MSNBC beyond watching certain hosts. Too bad she as a black woman cannot speak her peace like Russian asset and white reich-winged un-american, USA HATING, racist Fucker Carlson, over on Fascistic, racist Faux Noose, owned by a white, rich, rich foreigner Rupert Murdoch

18. Or it may be that we

are in the most liberal 5% of the population.
There will not be a DU-TV anytime soon because it would be watched by only a small audience of very liberal people.
MSNBC is as good as we’re going to get.

17. Their prime time line up is obviously liberal.

But clearly the management is exercising white fragility, which is hardly unique to conservatives.

5. I have friends who are desperately trying to leave ....

Several are older and own their homes, and one cannot find a buyer for his home, especially since his next door neighbor has a huge tRump 2024 flag on his roof. He had it on a flag pole, but they made him take it down because it was too noisy so he had to take it down, and the ass put it on his roof my friend said. In fact his old neighborhood were the Republicans were normal, are is now filled with maggots who drive those big, loud trucks and have stars and bars all over their trucks and fuck commie Biden and all kinds of racist stuff on their trucks. Yep, that place down there is a shithole run by a shithole Governor.

7. Well,.. It sorta looks like,..

... a flaccid penis dangling down at the bottom of the east coast. The fact that it is a peninsula with any attachment at one single area further amplifies that thought.

Then there is Kari Lake who recently announced that both DeSantis and tRUMPie - "Have Big Dick Energy" - meaning I guess they are macho studly. If these Fascist pricks both reside in Floridah - then it only stands to reason - Floridah is a dick state full of Fascist big pricks.

I've been feeling about her the same way I felt about Tweety (who, incidentally, seems to be turning up more and more).

She is refreshingly honest.

I am so, so disgusted.

12. Tired of this

Tiffany was always blunt, direct and accurate in her opinions. So tired of so called liberal news yielding to white fragility and the right wing media - yet, Tucker Carlson and the other FOX news ilk with their racist, mysogynistic, anti-semitism, bigoted, xenophobic and untrue/hateful statements about Dems/liberals still allowed to spew their garbage.

19. Damn that upsets me. I don't watch MSNBC except on Sat for Velshi and then Cross. There simply is

no decent tv media coverage. Thank goodness I can watch Democracy Now M-F. What a pity. Tiffany Cross was a fun way to spend a little time with coffee.

We don’t get US TV here.

But the trend seems to be trim the left and let the weeds on the right flourish.
