But, I'd rather see a whole new channel created for this stuff. MSNBC is just another corporate entity.

My comment: "if that Duck Dynasty doofus can be reinstated, why can't Martin Bashir?"

And heck, OUR guy apologized, and with class. Mr.-Osama-bin-Laden-lookalike-meets-ZZ-Top sure didn't bother.

Didn't like him as a hyperbole-spewing talking head on a corporate-owned television network. Don't like him when he says "if anyone deserves" having someone shit in their mouth, it's Sarah Palin (NOBODY deserves that. That's why when slave traders did it, we refer to it now as an atrocity) just because she's an idiot and/or disagrees with him.

He'll get a job at HBO, ESPN, XM/Sirius or start his own website, just like all the others. He'll be fine. Those who love his bullshit will still be able to find it.

and he was very nice in the manner suggested. To equate all this push back of all this RW bullshit with slavery or icons of movements to free oppressed people is the atrocity. Bashir was a light in the dark tunnel of corporate media ownership as is maddow. Yep loved his bullshit.

To get the awful ads off too. Things like the empire carpet ad, with 50's style singing the word 'empire', so creepy. Also all the dreadful funeral ads, for as young as 40! Also the "you better watch out" ad for infinity cars, pretending Christmas is still around the corner, in this time of spying. Many others that seems designed for a declining middle class and the manipulative 1%...one word, offensive!

(Assuming he needed to offer one). He deserves another chance.

He made fun of Reince Priebus' name on his show the same week he made these comments. What good is such elementary school behavior? Lean... which way again? Oh, FORWARD. You mean, be better than the other side, right? Hopefully
