Tamron Hall Exit Bashed as ‘Whitewashing,’ Black Journalist Group Tells NBC

“NABJ requests a meeting with NBC leadership on the top-rated show’s dismantling,” group says in statement about “Today” show

Brian Flood | February 2, 2017 @ 7:45 AM

The National Association of Black Journalists has requested a meeting with NBC News to discuss the exit of Tamron Hall and what it called the “whitewashing” of the network’s “Today” morning show with plans to replace Hall and Al Roker as co-hosts of the 9 a.m. hour with former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly.

In a statement to TheWrap, the network refuted the charge but did not indicate whether execs would meet with the NABJ. “NBC News has a long and proven history as an industry leader in newsroom diversity,” the statement read. “We will continue to engage in the running dialogue we’ve had for many years with the National Association of Black Journalists and other advocacy groups to advance those goals.”

In its own statement, the NABJ noted that “NBC has been a leader for diversity in broadcasting” but expressed concerns that the optics of replacing two African American broadcast veterans with a white woman “are being seen by industry professionals as whitewashing.”

Hall decided to leave NBC on Wednesday after her 9 a.m. hour of the “Today” show was canceled and she failed to come to an agreement on a new multi-year, multi-million dollar contract. The offer included a role in the flagship 7-9 a.m. timeslot of “Today” as well as a show on MSNBC, according to network reps.

Roker will continue to host the 9 a.m. hour until the fall when Kelly’s new show is expected to debut. Hall’s last day on air was Tuesday.

“Roker tweeted last week that the show leads the ratings in its time slot and consistently beats its competition,” the NABJ said. “This achievement deserves praise, not punishment, as replacing talent often is associated with low ratings performance.”

In addition, the NABJ expressed concern about some of Kelly’s more provocative statements on race issues. “Kelly has a well-documented history of offensive remarks regarding people of color,” the group’s statement said. “On ‘The Kelly File,’ her Fox News show, the host said then-First Lady Michelle Obama’s commencement address at Tuskegee University pandered to a ‘culture of victimization.'”

Al Roker forgets he is getting up in years. For on air journalists that means time is usually short.

And Kelly a racist? Nah.

Megyn Kelly will be like a turd in a swimming pool.....NBC will regret this decision

 

[depotoo]

Yeah, I don't care for her but many do.

I don't care for her either and Tucker Carlson pulling in much higher numbers in her slot must have NBC a little nervous

Especially when you consider that they axed his MSNBC show back when MSNBC decided to make a hard left turn.

 

[TomParks]

Fox should piss NBC off and hire Tamron Hall

Hall and Roker had the highest rating in that time slot. Thta makes this shakeup even more bizarre. And if you think about it, MSNBC has been purging Black anchors from their rolls for a few years now.

Maybe they've convinced themselves of their own lies that all the Trump supporters are white nationalists heh

my ears are still ringing from hordes of White people shouting " Lets take our country back " when Obama was the president. That was a historical first. If you don't see the correlation between that and White nationalism you are dumber than a gumdrop.

But don't stop there, On the heels of that thinly veiled bigotry, the "birther phenomenon surged and Trump harnessed and used it to fuel theTrump Train. White nationalism intensified when RW talking heads indoctrinated their sheep with xenophobic fear. Trump rose to capitalize on that too and told them what they wanted to hear...true of not. But he never lost sight of the hatred RW White males had for Obama and Hillary. His slogan, "Make America Great again,"spoke to the notion of a return to a Whiter America ruled by White bigot like TRUMP.

It worked. Now the "White populist" party, formerly known as the GOP, owns the government.
And the face of so-called "liberal" media is changing accordingly. Behind the scenes, pressure to stifle African American commentary is well known to be the prime causal factor of purging smart people like Melissa Harris Perry, Joy Reid, Tamron Hall...etc.

MSNBC has been whitewashed: Melissa Harris-Perry exits, buffoonish white pundits rule once more

Melissa Perry is a racist as it is. That is why she was fired, she thought is was funny to make fun of Mitt having a black grand child. If this was Hannity saying the same thing NY city would have been burned down.

Her is a clip of Melissa and a group of her White cohorts all commenting on a photo of Mitt surrounded by more than a dozen of his youngest progeny. I see nothing racist in that clip and certainly no mocking. If there was any racism there, it was only in the minds of RW haters looking for an excuse to silence her. Whatever she said int hat clip is nowhere near as vicious as anti=Black things said on Fox by Megan Kelly..who BTW got a lucrative deal to come to MSNBC at the expense of Tamron Hall. See how that works?
