According to Variety, who spoke with two individuals close to the situation, the network cut ties with Cross over a “frayed” relationship with Cross.
“Executives at the network growing concerned about the anchor’s willingness to address statements made by cable-news hosts on other networks and indulging in commentary executives felt did not meet the standards of MSNBC or NBC News,” sources claimed.
Cross previously served as a Washing Chief Bureau for BET, as well as a political analyst for MSNBC.
MSNBC has not announced a replacement for the host.
