February 26, 2016, 04:29 pm Melissa Harris-Perry boycotting her own MSNBC show: report
By Mark Hensch
Melissa Harris-Perry is refusing to host her MSNBC show this weekend after presidential election coverage repeatedly pre-empted her, according to The New York Times.
“I will not be used as a tool for their purposes,†Harris-Perry wrote in an email obtained by the Times.
"I am not a token, mammy or little brown bobble head. I am not owned by [NBC News chairman Andrew] Lack, [MSNBC President Phil] Griffin or MSNBC. I love our show. I want it back.â€
Harris-Perry resents the show’s pre-emption over the last two weeks and MSNBC dictating how it presents content, the report said.
“It is perfectly fine, 100 percent reasonable and perfectly acceptable for MSNBC to decide they no longer want the M.H.P. show,†said Harris-Perry, who has hosted the show since 2012. "But they should say that, they should cancel the show, they should stand up.
“And maybe it would be rewarded with huge ratings, but they shouldn’t kill us by attrition and take us off the air without telling anybody, including us. That for me is what’s painful and difficult.â€
Harris-Perry added that she does not see believe racial bias is motivating MSNBC’s decision-making.
“I don’t know if there’s a racial component,†she told the Times. "I don’t think anyone is doing something mean to me because I’m a black person.â€

Ms. Perry has no useful skills and has a Ph.D in political science...Coursework that most people can do standing on their heads...
Ms Perry, when you have a Ph.D in Physics, or Mathematics, or something valuable, then we can talk. Right now you have nothing to contribute to society.
Oh, but you most certainly are.
I only watched her once, the day after the verdict came out in the Zimmerman trial. I had a good laugh. I have never seen such racial hate as I did that day.
Feel free to hold your breath too tampon head.
She clearly didn’t get her degree in English. She has poor grammar.
If they’re not producing the show WTH is she “boycotting”? “I refuse to do my own show, even though we’re not doing it anyway”.

Gadzooks, what a bimbo!
On September 11, 1987, Rather walked off the set in anger just before a remote Evening News broadcast from Miami, where Pope John Paul II had begun a rare U.S. tour, when a U.S. Open tennis match was being broadcast into the time scheduled for the newscast. He was upset that the news was being cut into to make room for sports and discussed it with the sports department. The Steffi Graf-Lori McNeil tennis match coverage then ended sooner than expected at 6:32 p.m., but Rather had disappeared. (CBS Sports had finally agreed to break away immediately after the match without commentary.) Thus, over 100 affiliates were forced to broadcast six minutes of dead air. The next day, Rather apologized for leaving the anchor desk. The following year, when Rather asked then Vice President Bush about his role in the Iran-Contra affair during a live interview, Bush responded by saying, “Dan, how would you like it if I judged your entire career by those seven minutes when you walked off the set in New York?”
...
Idiocy repeats itself.
The liberal plantation is a soulless place.
Fire her ass lickety-split
Classy hoe.
Those were probably the only seven minutes of Dan's TV life when he wasn't lying to the American people. So... judging Dan's career based on those seven minutes of dead time would be an overdone complement.
