11h David Corn ✔ @DavidCornDC
It was always a delight to work with the intelligent and passionate @BashirLive. I will miss collaborating with him at MSNBC.

@DavidCornDC TYVM. First person I've seen speak up on Martin's behalf. Big mistake for Phil Griffin to let him go! @mummylal @BashirLive

I hope everyone has written a protest email to the boss of MSNBC.
Who knows he might let Martin continue if there's a big enough outcry.
At least we can give him a hard time for capitulating and firing Martin.

"fact: The man with the gun chose to initiate a confrontation with the teenager ..."

Er, ah, that's NOT a fact and as such, that is NOT the truth. It is speculation presented as fact.
