That included acontentious interviewearlier this month with Mark Regev, an adviser to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Tonight it is not just my final episode ofThe Mehdi Hasan Show, its my last day with MSNBC.
Yes, Ive decided to leave.
I am so proud, so proud of what we have achieved on this show, on this internet.
He told viewers that they could continue to follow him online.
Its rough every time, but it comes with the territory (lord knows Ive been close myself!)
Grateful to have him as a colleague.
He will now be anchoring for four hours on weekends.
