Will Alex Wager and Jose Diaz-Balart be Dropped at MSNBC Too?

This is in stark contrast to the move to drop Alex Wagner, who is Burmese, which has been a rather low-key affair. Jose Diaz-Balart was rumored to be dropped several months ago, until Latino groups complained and MSNBC seemed to back away from that decision. However Diaz-Balart is, once again, rumored to be dropped. (Diaz-Balart has also had a "diminished" role in recent weeks.)

The network denies any appearance of racism at the network, citing "MSNBC has been a leader when it comes to diversity." While the network has been in the process of rebranding itself to "The Place for Politics" (with wall-to-wall election coverage) it is also moving away from opinion and talk formats to breaking and hard news. Phil Griffin told the Post " We're rebuilding, but our principals are unwavering." Let's hope.
