Mehdi Hasan Departs MSNBC Following Show Cancellation

Mehdi Hasan, a prominent Muslim journalist, has announced his departure from MSNBC after declining a demotion that would have resulted in the loss of his regular Sunday night show. The decision to remove his show sparked protest, with U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar expressing concern over the cancellation amid a rise in anti-Muslim bigotry. Hasan's final episode featured an interview with a Palestinian photographer discussing the dangers of working in Gaza. MSNBC has not commented on Hasan's exit, and to replace him, the network is extending the weekend hours of another Muslim journalist, Ayman Mohyeldin.

MSNBC has not commented on Hasan's exit and will be increasing the weekend hours of another Muslim journalist to replace him.
