message – click here.
"Mehdi Hassan always spoke the truth no matter how hard it may have been
to hear it. We watched his show regularly because his perspective was
needed to balance the opinions of other hosts. Please reconsider your
decision and keep Mehdi on the air." -- Theodore B. of New Britain, PA
"Mehdi is one of the best interviewers on MSNBC. He asks the tough
questions and doesn't abide fools easily. You need his expertise." --
Kirsten E. of Fort Wayne, IN
"Real journalism is about holding those in power to account. By canceling
Mehdi Hasan's show MSNBC is relinquishing its duty to provide the basic
service to our community of truth, facts, multiple perspectives and
extremely importantly -- holding those in power to account. I hope you
will reconsider and have Mehdi Hasan take a more prominent role in
informing your viewers." -- Alex M. of Houston, TX
"I can understand your need to shuffle weekend programming for financial
reasons, but instead of canceling Mehdi's show, you should give him PRIME
TIME -- ESPECIALLY NOW! Very bad decision!" -- Donna H. of Holiday, FL
"These days it's hard to trust the media but Mehdi Hasan is one that I do
trust to give it to me straight. He's the only one I see pushing back when
someone lies no matter what side of the isle they fall on politically.
This act has pushed me to not watch any of your shows at all. Bring him
back to bring back some form of trust to your company. Otherwise you've
lost another supporter." -- Alvin R. of Honolulu, HI
"MSNBC, we need MORE hosts and guests who challenge power and conventional
wisdom -- not less. Keep Mehdi Hasan as a host of his own show please.
It's important." -- Gabriella B. of Chicago, IL
