“Following a firestorm over his recent comments about Sarah Palin, the MSNBC host Martin Bashir resigned on Wednesday, citing what he called his “ill-judged comments.”

Mr. Bashir had been listed as being on vacation while the network faced heated criticism for not taking disciplinary action against him.

The decision was prompted by a commentary Mr. Bashir directed last month against Ms. Palin, the former Republican vice-presidential nominee, in which he criticized her for statements comparing American debt to slavery, saying she deserved the same kind of humiliating and degrading treatment that some slaves faced.”* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
