Melissa Harris-Perry Out at MSNBC?

When MSNBC pre-empted Melissa Harris-Perry's show for election coverage (which got higher ratings, and also is more compelling than Melissa Harris-Perry's show), she sent out an email which objected to her show being "taken" in the most overwrought terms conceivable and kinda-sorta implied that MSNBC was trying to "own" her, like a slave.

She also implied that MSNBC was trying to change the "racial composition" of its on-air talent.

MSNBC now says this email destroyed their working relationship and that they're out of the Tampon Earring business.
