Just over two weeks ago, MSNBC host Martin Bashir delivered a harsh piece of commentary that culminated in the suggestion that someone should “s-h-i-t” in former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin‘s (R-AK) mouth. Bashir offered an abject apology on his next broadcast, but a chorus of critics continued to demand action against the host. After a reported “vacation” for the host earlier this week, Bashir announced, Wednesday afternoon, that MSNBC and Martin Bashir are parting ways.

“Health issues”. No, really!

Why in the world would the “network” let him resign?
Watch Chrissy Matthews cry and cry foul on air.....
Jay Carney better watch out for his job.
Ha! Ha!...
Doubtful NBC Universal made this decision on its own.
Revenue is important to Comcast and GE.
While my tolerance for speech is extremely high, I see no reason to patronize the purveyors of speech that I despise.

excellent news.
Journalism: 1
Bashir: 0
Where is the Ha Ha dude/
Is’nt Tom Brokaw still part of that network? Tom disappointed me by saying nothing about this. Bashir is only part of the problem. Something is seriously wrong or dysfunctional at that station. Rotten inside and out. Whoever approved of or assisted Bashir with that nasty commentary should also be exposed and should also put a paper bag over their heads in shame.
Yup. True lib — never OWNED his mistake, ‘cuz he never believed it was a mistake, and his apology is 100% null and void. He ain’t sorry for NOTHIN’.
Took long enough.
FUMB and the camel you rode in on

OK, I understand! It’s still a good day, Bashir-wise, lol!
Well...bye.
You should read the posts on yahoo. Typical leftwing retards screaming about all the insulting things Palin says on “Fake” Fox News. But not one example.
Reminds me of the “Cheney lied” and “Beck lied” folks. I used to ask them what they lied about and the answer was always “They lie about everything.” Keep pushing and they’ll keep saying “Everything”. Note I said “used to ask them”. I stopped dealing with liberals way before the last election.
Is CNN hiring?
