Tamron Hall Exit Bashed as ‘Whitewashing,’ Black Journalist Group Tells NBC.
The Wrap:
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.

I think she’ll do whatever they want her to do as long as the money keeps rolling in…ya, that too 😉
Let me think on this. Megan traded in a 9pm time slot on a channel people watched (until she revealed herself) for a 9am slot on the network nobody with a job watches.
Will the welfare layabout crowd embrace her?
Tamron Hall? You mean DJ Warm Cookies? Wanna go for a swim?
boy, that broad on the right has that rode ‘hard and put up wet’ look down pat
MJA, you want white or yellow?
Don’t forget the cervesa’s
Feds just flew over my house and all the wireless and cellular freaked out, had to re start everything. Stingray is alive and well and looking for cigani sam.
But, what if Megan now “identifies” as black? Worked for Rachel Dolezal!
Haven’t decide yet, Megan or Peter?

Non-bianary, I would think. It what’s popular these days, am I right?
Ones or nuns.
How about these two share the hour? The popcorn show could go on and on and on.
Not sure Megs likes dark meat.
In other news, the National Association of Caucasian Journalist warned NBC not to “blackball” Megyn Kelly.
I love it when liberals set themselves on fire/
Is that what you call a “resting bitch face?”
Tamron Hall?
Is that her plantation name?
Hey hey! Kettle korn! Mm mm!
They’re eating their own.
So lesbotic!
Can somebody schedule a bitch slap competition to
see who stays?
I don’t thinky kelly will do good with the welfare crowd either.
To tell the truth, I’m tired of seeing what seems like an uber-abundance of Nubians on television since Obama was elected. Anything more than 12.5% is unfair and unrealistic. Television should more accurately reflect the make-up of the American population.
An association of any Caucasians would set their hair on fire, again.
Really awkward timing making this change during “Black History Month.” Which btw I think is a racists event. I mean geez, is there a history month for any other race? None afaik, nor should there be.
The National Association of Black Journalists. An organization that DISCRIMINATES BASED ON SKIN COLOR lecturing about racism. Priceless.
Whitewashing?
They might as well claim brainwashing….
National Association of BLACK Journalists?
Wait……what??
I thought we were supposed to be in a post-racial society? That’s what O’Bozo said, somewhere, somewhen.
