Tiffany Cross’ controversial ouster isn’t the only issue plaguing MSNBC, reports Page Six at The NY Post.
Morale at the left-leaning network “is in the toilet” and its liberal hosts are now worried about network execs not having their backs because of how Cross was allegedly treated.
“People are scared. The consensus is that [MSNBC president Rashida Jones] is trying to unmake MSNBC and change it into something the right won’t be mad at. What about our core audience?” one insider explained.
Multiple sources said that as soon as Jones took over in 2021, months after Cross was hired, “she had meetings saying she wanted no snark, no name calling. She seemed particularly disturbed by anyone who said anything negative about Fox News,” the insider added.

Another insider at NBC confirmed Jones’ new direction, telling us, “like CNN, trying to go straight down the middle seems to be what the appetite is. The MSNBC identity is being taken away.”
Meanwhile, Cross was not afraid to respond to attacks from conservative critics like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly. The former “The Cross Connection” host’s defensive commentary is what partially led to her getting axed, according to insiders who previously told The Post that Cross was under attack for “name calling” and making “vulgar” comments.
A spokesperson for MSNBC said the network “made a programming decision to cancel the show. The newsgroup makes these business decisions all the time.”
Our first insider told us liberals within the company are starting to “feel targeted and there’s no protection from the bosses.”
