Spewing racist shit like this in the main stream media.

Said a guest on the show to Ryan Girdusky. I forget her name so cannot give her direct credit, but her response was spot on.

".... After a commercial break, Phillip apologized to Hasan and noted that Girdusky was no longer at the table.

“There is a line that was crossed there, and it’s not acceptable to me,” Phillip said. “It’s not acceptable to us at this network. We want discussion. We want people who disagree with each other to talk to each other. But when you cross the line of a complete lack of civility, that is not going to happen here on this show. It’s a heated time. We’re in the middle of a political season. We are eight days from a presidential election, but we can have conversations about what is happening in this country without resorting to the lowest of the lowest kind of discourse. I want to address that and I want to apologize to the viewers at home, because we want to be able to hear each other, we want to be able to talk to each other.”

Hasan was an anchor for MSNBC his departure earlier this year. He then started his own media company, Zeteo.

CNN issued a statement, saying that Girdusky would not be welcomed back on the network..."

…..who would have given voice to what many Americans were thinking as evens in Gaza were unfolding. I still watch MSNBC, but over the years they continually drop people who speak truth to power

now and then. I tend to flip between channels, even put on Fox or nonews, certainly not max news, for a few minutes to see what they are saying.

Then again CNN continues to allow Scott Jennings, and a few others, to give their slanted opinion.
