I'm giving it a 4 out of 10. She says a number of things that are just factually wrong and could be helped if she read more scholarly books. Sometimes she sounds like she gets all of her information from instagram and twitter. She also needs a good deal of media training and polishing. She comes across as all brand no substance-- like they put her on there to give sistagirl antics and yell over republican guests but if you mute that there isn't much to her show.
I hate that these networks keep expecting black women to be "sassy" and act like a RHW reunion on air. It's one thing it that's just who you are and you're also allowed to be a deeply informed person and expert, but with tiffany its like it's all she is, there isn't any expert level knowledge there.

But I definitely want her to win over that sunken place negro Jonathan Capehart before we have to listen to him skee-weee on air again. :clown:clown:clown:clown

A good 7.5

She's way better than Joy Ann Reid ever was.
You think so? I'm not a joy stan or anything (she often tries way way too hard to sound hip) but joy is a solid 10x smarter and a better journalist than tiffany. tiffany has no journalistic experience. but i can also see how someone would just be tired of joy.

They should have given her show to Zerlina Maxwell instead. She studied political science, has a law degree and worked on 2 political campaigns as a political analyst under Obama and Hilary Clinton. I know Zerlina is on peacock now but she deserved this slot way more. Tiffany's show seems more celebrity-driven anyway, she seems to speak more about pop culture more than she does politics.

Whatever Tiffany's flaws may be, she doesn't deserve to be slandered by suggesting that Zerlina might be better than her.

I do, I judge based on rhetoric, and where they politically stand.

Joy is too much of a centrist, aka Establishment operative. At this time, they sicken me. Joy isn't sickening me quite yet, but close. I don't watch her show.

Tiffany isn't a full-blown left-winger, but she's way more where one needs to be than Joy ever was/is.

That includes black matters.

BTW, things that blacks want cannot aka will not be fulfilled by the right.

I don’t fool with cable news too much right now, so I’ve only seen her a couple times. You said it well: all brand and no substance. She’s cute and pleasant, but not enough to get me out of bed on the weekend. I wish they would set her up for success. It would be nice to see a BW with a smart, fresh voice on MSNBC.

zerlina failed the bar and she legit did nothing on either one of those campaigns except tweet. zerlina has zero-- i mean ZERO-- body of work. She is completely a twitter invention of white feminists. She's extremely white identified and extremely extremely boring. I've been out to dinner with her twice and she couldn't even hang in a dinner convo with academics and attorneys. And i've never seen a black girl feminist who knew less about black feminism than her. Everything she does is for the praise of white women. Like she's physically uncomfortable around black people, dates white boys, etc. she doesnt have one black friend from college or law school.

have you read her book? it's terrible. she's just basic as all fµck!ng hell and sooooo boring.

I have never read her book and honestly only met her twice at the Crystal Mccrary fundraiser for Kamala Harris and at the SMH gala in NY. She seemed nice and personable and was praised for her work on those campaigns. I never knew she was white identified, she seemed more than comfortable in that diverse room. We only spoke briefly so I wouldn't say I am familiar with her at all

she's perfectly nice. just a wallflower with no personality. but definitely nice.

she is definitely not comfortable around just a bunch of regular black people. like she wouldn't even get black jokes, etc.

Zerlina is very wooden.

cardboard levels of wooden. she's also not particularly smart. i've hung out with her twice. she's super basic. failed the NY bar and has never really had a grown up job until this year. literally her entire adult career was just... twitter. and she leveraged white feminists in the HRC campaign to get a show on peacock.

she auditioned against tiffany cross to fill joy's spot and all i heard about that is that zerlina was DISASTROUS. like people still talk about how terrible her audition was

You really like bashing light skinned black women who look better than you. Nothing you said about Tiffany is even close to being true. All you do is lie.

I feel like she is not qualified but I can't pinpoint exactly why I feel that way. Is it her youthful appearance, her speaking voice? Idk but but I'm not a fan. Honestly, I was never a huge Joy fan either. I preferred Melissa Harris Perry over both of them.

MHP has her flaws behind the scenes (she's like.... an extremely manipulative person) but she was a great host and she's exceedingly knowledgeable and had an entire elite scholarly career before her show.

Joy is smart too but everyone who knows joy will tell you she is always always trying to prove something-- like trying to be blacker than thou, trying to make up for not being down with the blacks in college, etc. Someone very close to her describes her as the student who comes to the BSU meeting for the first time, doesn't know the black national anthem so she mumbles the words, but then at the next meeting is singing it extra loud like she's known it the whole time and clowns anyone who doesnt know all 3 verses.

Joy just irks me. Her insecurities irk me.

But you're right, tiffany is just not ready for prime time any way you cut it.

During her two-year tenure at MSNBC, the host took trips to Los Angeles and the Super Bowl, positioning them as work trips, sources said. Cross’ Oscars trip, in which she stayed at the Beverly Wilshire on Rodeo Drive for an “extended stay,” raised eyebrows, according to a source.

“She’s staying at a hotel NBC’s execs don’t stay at,” the source said of the Four Seasons-owned hotel, which charges more than $1,000 a night for a basic room during high season.

AHHH tiffany was scamming on the company dime. NOW it makes since she she running up after angela-- she needs to flex and be seen on the scene. immature.
