Who said all the news was bad. His poor ratings and anti-Jewish views were cited as the reason which is surprising because the far left MSNBC loves Jew haters.
MSNBC cancels Mehdi Hasan’s weekend show amid poor ratings, anti-Israel views: sources
By: Alexandra Steigrad, NY Post: Nov. 30, 2023:
MSNBC pulled the plug on lightning-rod anchor Mehdi Hasan’s weekend prime-time talk show as part of a wider shakeup Thursday, with sources citing a sharp drop in ratings and uproar over his anti-Israel views.
ADVERTISEMENTA source close to the left-leaning cable channel said the network is “cutting costs like crazy” and that the penny-pinching was a “good excuse” to dump the British-born commentator.
“I think they thought (Hasan’s) point of view was a little too out of the mainstream if you know what I mean,” a source with knowledge of the situation told The Post.
MSNBC boss Rashida Jones on Thursday painted an entirely different reason for the decision, saying it was part of a plan to revamp the weekend lineup ahead of next year’s presidential election.
“As Decision 2024 ramps up, the show will provide thoughtful analysis and coverage on the state of our country from three trusted voices familiar to the MSNBC audience,” MSNBC President Rashida Jones told staffers in a memo.
MSNBC’s weekend lineup will now include a two-hour morning program titled “The Weekend” featuring Alicia Menendez, Symone Sanders-Townsend and Michael Steele.
ADVERTISEMENTMSNBC is “refocusing weekend efforts on the morning where they make more money,” the source added.
The new show will air from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. beginning Jan. 13.
A rep for MSNBC declined to comment on Thursday.
The network denied a Semafor report last month that it muzzled Hasan, Mohyeldin and Velshi due to their purported pro-Palestine viewpoints.
Hasan has hosted the “The Mehdi Hasan Show” on Sunday nights at 8 p.m. since being hired by MSNBC in 2021 after spending years at Qatar-backed Al Jazeera English along with left-leaning publication The Intercept.
Along with fellow anchors Ali Veshi and Ayman Mohyeldin, Hasan was lambasted for commentary in the immediate aftermath of Hamas’ deadly terror attack in Israel on Oct. 7.
