10:44Now PlayingMSNBC has decided to part ways with hose Melissa Harris-Perry after weeks of tension. There was a lot of disagreement over what she could and couldn’t cover on her show. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
