The NY Times is reporting that Tammy Haddad is leaving MSNBC and joining Newsweek. The move, which Haddad is claiming she’s happy about, comes just a couple of months after she was removed as the top producer on Chris Matthews‘ Hardball. She and Matthews had a much publicized falling out over the summer after Matthews was caught again swearing on-air. After she left Hardball, she said she was happy to be taking on a managerial role over all political projects at MSNBC.

Today we’re hearing that her contentious relationship with Matthews and others at the network led to the move to lower profile position at Newsweek, which is a partner of MSNBC.
