NEW YORK (AP) — Prominent Muslim journalist Mehdi Hasan has decided to quit MSNBC rather than accept a demotion that saw him lose a regular Sunday night program on the network.
Hasan announced at the end of Sunday show that “I've decided to look for a new challenge. This is not just my final episode of ‘The Mehdi Hasan Show,’ it's my last day at MSNBC.”
That decision, with no public explanation, launched a fruitless petition campaign in protest by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar called it “deeply troubling that MSNBC is canceling his show amid a rampant rise of anti-Muslim bigotry and suppression of Muslim voices.”
An MSNBC spokeswoman said Monday the network had no comment on Hasan's exit.
Hasan told viewers that he's proud of what head been achieved on his show.
“As I say: new year, new plans,” he said. Hasan, who previously worked at Al Jazeera English and the Intercept, offered no details and declined further comment on Monday.
To replace Hasan, MSNBC is increasing the weekend hours of Ayman Mohyeldin, another Muslim journalist.

Muslims fit right in at MSNBC
Lies are an article of the faith.
Rats leaving the sinking ship....................
“Prominent Muslim journalist Mehdi Hasan ...”
Isn’t starting an article like that a no-no in the MSM?
“deeply troubling that MSNBC is canceling his show amid a rampant rise of anti-Muslim bigotry and suppression of Muslim voices.”
They never stop. Al Jazeera is hiring.
I miss Chet Huntley and David Brinkley..
“a rampant rise of anti-Muslim bigotry and suppression of Muslim voices.”
Yes as evidenced by the fact he is being replaced by another muzzie.
Iran has plenty of media openings...lol.
What suppression of Muslim voices? All I’ve been seeing for years is the suppression of Christian voices, and in the last three months a growing suppression of Jewish voices. Where is this alleged suppression of Muslim voices? Give me ONE example.
time for jihad tv...
“Lose his regular Sunday night program”...
If your regular program is on Sunday Night... you pretty much can’t be demoted much more..
Of course
MSNBC and journalist can’t be used in the same statement it’s a oxymoron.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
The program producer was probably hovering very close to the 7-second button.
"Whatever, man. Just get your stuff and let's go."
Excellent news. He’s a lying piece of chit.
I suggest you hop a plane to Gaza and try your hand at being a warrior against the IDF. That should a challenge for you.
Good lick with your 72 virgins.
