Tiffany Cross opened up this week about MSNBC suddenly severing ties with her in 2022, claiming she lost her weekend morning show because she had “drawn the ire of white conservatives.”
She also asserted that her “abrupt” firing was “very intentional” on the part of MSNBC executives, who wanted the rest of the industry to see her as “so unhireable that we could not trust her with a live mic” and therefore didn’t allow her to issue a farewell to her viewers on air.
Cross, alongside fellow cable news refugees Angela Rye and Andrew Gillum, recently launched a new weekly podcast called Native Land Pod. After Rye used last week’s debut broadcast to deliver her own “testimonial” on what led to her departure from CNN, suggesting it was tied to ex-CNN anchor Chris Cuomo’s alleged inappropriate texts to her, Cross discussed her exit from MSNBC on Thursday’s show.
