Cenk Uygur: Al Sharpton Is Replacing Me Because He's Friendlier To Obama (VIDEO): "Cenk Uygur continued his anti-MSNBC tour on CNN's 'Reliable Sources' Sunday--and he suggested that he was getting replaced because Al Sharpton, the man all-but-certain to succeed him as the network's 6 PM host, is friendlier to the White House.
Uygur left MSNBC very publicly last week, claiming that the network implied to him that his anti-Washington 'tone' was not in keeping with the 'establishment' bent that MSNBC was trying to cultivate. MSNBC has strongly denied the claims, insisting that it was just giving Uygur television style tips.
Speaking to a slightly skeptical Howard Kurtz, Uygur repeated his charges. Kurtz said that Uygur seemed not to have any direct evidence that MSNBC was caving to political pressure by admonishing him. Uygur replied that he didn't know who the 'people in Washington' that MSNBC Phil Griffin said had a problem with him were. Then, he turned to Sharpton."
