The network's credibility has crumbled into dust:
It was a day before the Iowa caucuses, and despite being in Des Moines, she was not hosting the weekend show on MSNBC that bears her name. That privilege belonged to the network’s legal correspondent, Ari Melber, who quickly introduced her in a split-screen at the beginning of the show.
“It’s a very exciting day here in the ‘Place for Politics,’ ” he said, referring to MSNBC’s slogan. “We are going to get to Melissa, who everyone can see there live in Iowa, in just a second.” Ms. Harris-Perry vanished from the screen and Mr. Melber added, “That’s what we call proof of life.”
And it's what I call being a supreme jackass. I've known managers and high-level executives who operated this way for many years, and you can detect the stench of their machinations from down the hall. They have no good reason to get rid of somebody, so they take steps to make the job untenable and force that person to quit. But they also like to avoid any repercussions from their actions, so they put on a little Kabuki theatre to convince people they really don't want to lose said person:
