Taking away his show.
Hasan is terminally online. He reminds me of Glenn Greenwald with much better politics. He is 100% addicted to Twitter. Yes, he has (rightly) been outspoken about Palestine but he tweets dozens of times a day and I think it is way excessive. His show is also not doing well in the ratings. To me guys like Greenwald and Hasan will also be their own worst enemies because at heart they are complete narcissists.

This is unfortunate. I blame the network (and to degree myself for my laziness) but I don't know when his show airs. I see Mehdi in numerous clips on YouTube and Twitter. That's how I have been catching his reports. I like him. I like his reporting and points of view.

The fact that @MSNBC canceled Mehdi Hasan's show while the absolutely horrible Andrea Mitchell is still employed there is proof that they are not listening to their audience.
You may disagree with some of Medhi Hasan's positions, but you cannot disagree that he always came prepared for an interview.
He was actually doing the thing that we believe journalists are supposed to be able to do: ask questions, and push through the bullshit when the person tries to avoid answering truthfully.
Hasan is a hard-hitting journalist who consistently maintained a professional demeanor while insisting his guests answer his damn questions, no matter how uncomfortable they were.
While MSNBC still retains some journalists whose work I still trust and admire, this decision stinks of politics, and I'm disgusted by it.

I really do but I rarely watched his show when it aired. I just wasn't conscious of his timeslot. I got his reports via YouTube and Twitter and those don't count towards ratings. Hopefully, MSNBC will find a place for Mehdi. It would be ashame to lose him, IMHO

Every once in a while I will go to You Tube and catch Chris Hayes or Rachel or Lawrence O Donnell. I may even check out Nicole Wallace and Joy Reid from time to time. And if there's an interesting guest I will watch it. I like Michael Steele and Joyce Vance, Barbara McQuade and Andrew Weismann. Over all I t hink MSNBC has the best guests. Now CNN has a few people I like. Gloria Borger hs good political analysis and no one on CNN can touch Laura Coates for her legal expertise. But having said that, I don't watch any of them that often. You tube is great for giving me that 8 minutes segment I want to see and ditch the rest. I love Christiane Amanpour. Anderson has disappointed me but I still like him. IMO Jake Tapper is unwatchable. His snide nasal voice makes me want to scream. And I refuse to watch Kaitlin Collins. Ugh. Abby Phillips os pretty good.

People still don't seem to to get the fact that you should be able to criticize a government without condemning the people. Why is that so hard? Netanyahu is leading his country to the brink of the abyss. They will soon be obliterated if they continue on this path. Biden has been successful in holding back the Arab world but it is more and more difficult. Egypt, Jordan, Quattar, the Saudis, the UAE, etc. Npw as long as Yemen and Iran and Lebanon are strongholds and staging grounds for extremists, the rest of the Arab nations will hold. But if Netanyahu continues to act out the pressure on the other nations will be too much. They won't protect Israel from itself.
