Tamron Hall as NBC makes room for former faux noise wingers Greta van Susteren and Megan Kelly.

The NABJ is calling the move whitewashing, especially in Kelly's case as she has made many offensive and racist remarks in the past (just one being her calling the bikini-clad AA teenager at a pool party who was viciously manhandled, tackled and sat on by a white cop in Texas, "no angel".

She made such a glaringly biased pronouncement hundreds of miles away on-air in FOX's New York studio with no knowledge of the teen's character. And there are other incidents, yet NBC hires her and puts her in Hall's time slot.

No wonder Tamron Hall quit after that.

I hope Joy isn't next. She's so good and should have gotten the slot Van Susteren, a warned-over, not that good FOX refugee, got.
