Martin Bashir Resigns From MSNBC
Mediaite.com ^ | 4 Dec 13 | Tommy Christopher

Posted on 12/04/2013 11:44:38 AM PST by seanmerc

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.

When you think about it, we have Alec Baldwin to thank for this. He exposed the hypocracy.

I’m sure they’ll find a radical leftist to replace him.

Actually he shouldn’t look for a new job at all.
He should borrow money for the rest of his life and tell us that it doesn’t eventually lead to slavery.

These are our airwaves, gifted to the networks.

Some FR posters believe that, but it isn't true. MSNBC is a closed-circuit entitiy, telecast on cable TV and satellite outlets only. If MSNBC or any TV "news channel" is broadcast over the air, it probably is done so illegally.

No, journalism in it's strictest definition ended soon after Sarah got her B.A. in Journalism. The news consultants must have seen her coming from a distance and quickly morphed real journalism into Happy News which devolved to the poppycock and (poor) propaganda it now is...US and worldwide. So she found something else to do.

Pretty surprised, here, after the heavy and obvious silence surrounding Martin Basher, by msnbc. Not a sound uttered by Zuckerland that they have any standards at all, but to endorse the scurrilous 24/7 and never look back.

Basher is oddly gone but leaves exchanging kisses with Zucker and cohorts for all the heaping abuse they deliver. It’s their job.
No real regrets offered between either party for
skewering Sarah, regarding the departure.

Typical leftwing retards screaming about all the insulting things Palin says on “Fake” Fox News.

Serious question: Is SP still on FNC? I do not subscribe to cable TV or satellite and do not find many postings of her FNC videos online anymore.

(And I still got to see the Alabama-Auburn game for free on the best HDTV there is: over-the-air broadcast HDTV. Just sayin'.)

I don’t watch Fox enough to know whether she’s on or not. I think she shows up every now and then.

I’m about to build my own HD antennae for a few bucks and hook my flat screen up just for the reason you listed. Lots of great games on network TV this weekend. I don’t get espn and didn’t really miss it all that much this season.

I’ve tried several antennas for digital TV and have received the best signals using an inside flat WHITE antenna in an upper pane of a window facing the most transmitters. White, because the RCA black flat passive digital antenna I tried got very hot when the sun shone on it all afternoon. Feed your existing line amplifier and the whole house gets the same signal strength.

Most of the flat passive antennas I’ve tried get about the same reception as the amplified ones and the cheap ones work about as well as the more expensive ones. The secret is putting (tape or velcro tab) the WHITE antenna high in a window. I was amazed.

My recommendation is presently sold out online at Wal-Mart: RCA Digital Flat Passive Antenna Model # ANT1400 - $16.97

Rush should “take care of” each and every quarterly here....seriously; FR is obviously a goldmine for his material.

I'm not complaining, but he's used my tagline a couple of times that I know of.

That's why I triple-doubledog-secretly-copyrighted mine, registered it with Interpol, then erased and forgot it. It was THAT good.

It wasn’t until Alec came out and said, “look at what Bashir said, I didn’t say anything remotely that bad”. Then came the heat on Bashir. Alec Baldwin speaks, and liberals listen I guess. So I guess in a way, we do have Alec to thank for this one. *shudder*.
