To: Mr. Steve Burke, CEO and President of NBCUniversa
MSNBC - Reinstate Dr. Melissa Harris-Perry
Reinstate Dr. Melissa Harris-Perry immediately. Stop the chauvinism and hypocrisy.
Why is this important?
Since the arrival of Mr. Andrew Lack to the MSNBC News division, a number of not so honorable events have taken place.
Mr. Lack has a public history of dismissing people of color unceremoniously. However, for some strange reason, MSNBC and Comcast executives have a theory that no one is watching.
Comcast suspended Mr. Brian Williams for 6 months.
Mr. Williams, it turns out is a habitual liar. This revelation brought unbearable shame to the network.
However, instead of being let go, Mr. Williams was brought back with opened arms, almost like nothing had happened.
Mr. William's former boss Ms. Pat Fili-Krshel, the ex-chairwoman of NBCUniversal News Group was banished to some obscured position.
Over the last year, MSNBC has banished or undermined people of color from its on-air personality lineup.
Therefore, the question must be asked to MSNBC executives, are you telling the public that MSNBC would rather give a habitual liar a second chance then an employee who simply fought for her staff’s participation?
We call on MSNBC to immediately reinstate Dr. Melissa Harris-Perry back to her show and to publicly apologize to her fans for what is clearly an overreaction by the executive team at MSNBC.
