发帖数: 29846 | 1 Martin Bashir, the pugnacious US cable news host, has resigned over
controversial remarks he made on air last month about former Alaska governor
Sarah Palin.
Bashir announced his resignation from MSNBC in an email Wednesday, first
obtained by Mediaite. The departure came two weeks after the host first
apologized for some vivid criticism he made of Palin.
"After making an on-air apology, I asked for permission to take some
additional time out around the Thanksgiving holiday," Bashir said in his
resignation statement.
"Upon further reflection, and after meeting with the president of MSNBC, I
have tendered my resignation. It is my sincere hope that all of my
colleagues, at this special network, will be allowed to focus on the issues
that matter without the distraction of myself or my ill-judged comments."
MSNBC president Phil Griffin confirmed the resignation in a statement. "
Martin Bashir resigned today, effective immediately," Griffin said. "I
understand his decision and I thank him for three great years with MSNBC.
Martin is a good man and respected colleague – we wish him only the best.”
Bashir is known for crafting explosive interviews with the world's most
famous figures, including Diana, Princess of Wales, and Michael Jackson.
Bashir's 1995 BBC interview with Diana caused a scandal when the princess
said she was sharing her marriage with Prince Charles. "Well, there were
three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded," Princess Diana said,
in an oblique reference to Camilla Parker-Bowles.
Bashir joined MSBNC in 2010 and launched his eponymous afternoon show, a mix
of news and political commentary, in early 2011. He was previously a host
of Nightline, the ABC News late-night program, which he joined after working
for the BBC and ITV in Britain.
The chain of events that would cost Bashir his job was set into motion last
month, when Palin said the national debt would turn future generations into
slaves.
“When that money comes due – and this isn’t racist – but it’ll be like
slavery when that note is due," Palin told an Iowa crowd on 11 November. "We
are going to beholden to the foreign master.”
Bashir laid into Palin with characteristic brio, saying she was making light
of slavery, which she failed to understand, and calling her America's "
resident dunce".
Bashir then read vivid descriptions of the brutal treatment of slaves from
the diary of an 18th-century plantation overseer, Thomas Thistlewood. The
diary describes slaves being beaten and having feces and urine forced into
their mouths.
“When Mrs Palin invokes slavery, she doesn’t just prove her rank ignorance
," Bashir said. "She confirms if anyone truly qualified for a dose of
discipline from Thomas Thistlewood, she would be the outstanding candidate.”
In his statement Wednesday, Bashir again apologized: "I deeply regret what
was said." | p**j
