Wow. In just two hours, thousands have signed our petition to MSNBC urging them to keep Mehdi Hasan as an on-air host. #StandWithMehdi

I’m still so mad about this. Retweeting anything I come across that’s supporting Mehdi. His voice and his willingness to push back on those he’s interviewing is so badly needed right now. This is just unacceptable. #IStandWithMehdi
.Andrea Mitchell fawns over politicians, fails to hold them accountable, and falls asleep ON AIR, but by all means demote the Muslim guy who holds their feet to the fire
Even though Andrea Mitchell is a demonstrably weak interviewer, MSNBC will never cancel her because she’s Alan Greenspan’s wife.
Also because they clearly don’t think being a good interviewer is essential to being a news host. #StandWithMehdi
It is bad optics for MSNBC to cancel Mehdi Hasan’s show right at a time when he is vocal for human rights in Gaza with the war ongoing. As a strong supporter of free speech, MSNBC owes the public an explanation for this decision. Why would they choose to do this now?
NEW: The obscure nonprofit behind Mike Johnson’s 2020 trip to Israel didn’t account for the travel in its tax filings — so who paid & how? It was the second trip for Johnson, whose support for Israel is literally intended to help bring about the apocalypse thedailybeast.com/who-paid-for-m…
Disappointing. Mehdi Hasan is one of the most talented journalists on TV today.
His show had fantastic guests, real conversations, and touched on issues others often ignored. He also spoke to an audience that is increasingly abandoning cable. semafor.com/article/11/30/…
Terrible move, @msnbc. Cancel Andrea Mitchell if you’re looking to clear dead wood!
