Ben Shapiro writes at Breitbart.com:
On Wednesday, MSNBC’s Martin Bashir formally tendered his resignation from his daily show.
Bashir had been absent from his show since November 22, prompting rumors from inside the network that he had been suspended; MSNBC had maintained that he was merely on vacation.
Bashir has been the subject of severe criticism after he viciously attacked Sarah Palin, using language and imagery not fit for newsprint, much less public broadcast.
The former MSNBC personality "issued an on-air apology, but criticism of MSNBC never waned," Shaprio continues, "especially given the fact that his monologue suggesting such misogyny was backed by the network itself. MSNBC is expected to release its own comment shortly.
