really just proves the point of the OP. MSNBC allowed for commentators who were old white men to say all kinds of racist, sexist, white supremacy supporting things and still keep their jobs or still being brought on as "analysts" or "commentators". Patrick Buchanan, Chris Matthews, Michael Savage and Don Imus are just a few of the names who were allowed to go on and on for years with their comments before they faced termination. Their comments were way worse than anything Cross said.
