Ex-MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan lands at the Guardian after network ouster, tells Biden to ‘end bombing of Gaza’
NY Post
Former MSNBC anchor and Palestinian supporter Mehdi Hasan was hired by the Guardian after getting pushed out by the left-leaning network last month.
The British-born journalist penned his first column for the UK publication Wednesday, calling on President Biden to “end the bombing of Gaza right now.”
Hasan was booted from his MSNBC anchor chair in early January after network leaders said the primetime broadcast of his “The Mehdi Hasan Show” on Sundays suffered a ratings decline.
The cancellation was criticized as part of MSNBC’s effort to muzzle Muslim voices as a result of the conflict between Israel and Gaza, per a report from Semafor in October.
MSNBC — which also sidelined anchors Ali Velshi and Ayman Mohyeldin following Hamas’ terror attack on Oct. 7 — has denied the accusations.
During the final broadcast of “The Mehdi Hasan Show,” the hard-charging interviewer surprised viewers by adding that he would also be leaving MSNBC.
