There are tons of articles. Go read one.

But I appreciate you lending credence to my position of reasonable fellow.

She should have stayed at Fox and could have ruled the roost over there. They were offering similar money but she wanted to do this dumb daytime talk show shite. She was the conservative ice queen who could cross-examine guests.

NBC sucks and how the frick Andy Lack still has a job is incredible.

she questioned why using “blackface” for a Halloween costume was necessarily racist or insensitive.

NBC is a journalist graveyard at this point.

How was her freedom of speech infringed upon?

Nobody is coming to arrest her. However her comments do not exclude her from consequences from her employer, right or wrong.

It's very simple. One of the trade offs for her was to tow the company line. In exchange she got fame and lots of money. On her own, she made comments that her employer decided not to stand behind and so as a private company exercised their right to terminate her.

Now, she has the right to say I don't think I did anything wrong. That's perfectly fine, but her company has the right to say goodbye.


I agree with you on this and think the NFL owners should be able to do the same with players who chose to kneel during the National Anthem.

There was much more going on than just a single remark.

and on the description it said she was supposed to talk to the Pelicans sideline reporter Jenn Hale about some disease or sickness she had but Jenn Hale never appeared.


Jenn Hale absolutely appeared on her show and did a lengthy interview. I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Her show must suck arse because questioning why blackface is racist sounds like a pretext for firing her.

She didn’t question. She defended it.

She had expressed interest in moving on to a different role within the company before this happened. Talks about dropping the 9 slot predate this.

So, she was on the outs. This just expedited the process. All that is left is negotiating. 1.5 years or so left on the contract.
