In an email to members, Rey-Goodlatte said, "...media analysts say it's very unlikely he will be allowed back. This is a huge victory for everyone who cares about keeping hateful, racially divisive rhetoric and misinformation out of the mainstream media."
A political commentator, author, syndicated columnist, politician, magazine publisher, and former senior adviser to two U.S. presidents, Buchanan said that the MSNBC firing was due to a wave of criticism from groups with an agenda to have him silenced.
Rey-Goodlatte said MSNBC's decision came after her group as well as others demanded that Buchanan be taken off the air in October.
"For years, Buchanan has been pushing white supremacist ideology on national television. The network was likely hoping that the controversy would blow over if they kept Buchanan off the air for a while. As MSNBC remained silent, thousands of us flooded their offices with phone calls, demanding answers. Now, finally, they've broken their silence."

ReplyDeleteLet's continue to see what MSNBC does as we get further into the election cycle. They may try to bring him back as the candidates for the GOP race draws toward the convention in FL to us all engaged. I'm hoping they have figured out we will not go away!
