#Newsnight

Ed Mazza at HuffPost:

A conservative commentator was given the boot from CNN in the middle of a show after a “completely unacceptable” attack on a fellow panelist. “I hope your beeper doesn’t go off,” right-wing personality Ryan Girdusky told Mehdi Hasan after Hasan said he supports Palestinian people. Last month, hundred of pagers held by suspected Hezbollah operatives across Lebanon exploded in an attack widely believed to have been carried out by Israel. At least 37 people were killed, including two children, and thousands were injured.

“Did you just say I should die?” Hasan asked in disbelief. “Did you just say I should be killed on live TV?” “No, I did not say that,” Girdusky said. “You said you hope my beeper doesn’t go off,” Hasan pointed out. Girdusky asked Hasan if he supports Hamas. “I said ‘Palestinians,’” Hasan said. “Then I apologize, I apologize,” Girdusky said. “I thought he said Hamas, I apologize.” “This is America in 2024,” Hasan said. “Forget the racism. It’s I should die.” When Girdusky claimed he didn’t say that, Hasan pressed him to explain what he meant with the “beeper” comment:

After a commercial break, Girdusky was gone ― and host Abby Phillip issued an apology to Hasan as well as to CNN viewers. “We want discussion. We want people who disagree with each other to talk to each other,” she said. “But when you cross the line of a complete lack of civility, that is not going to happen here on this show.”

CNN released a statement saying there is “zero room for racism or bigotry” on the network and that Girdusky won’t be back. “We aim to foster thoughtful conversations and debate including between people who profoundly disagree with each other in order to explore important issues and promote mutual understanding,” the statement said. “But we will not allow guests to be demeaned or for the line of civility to be crossed.”

Appearing on CNN’s NewsNight Monday, right-wing blowhard Ryan Girdusky took a blatant anti-Palestinian cheapshot at former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan by telling him “I hope your beeper doesn’t go off.”

Hasan was rightly incensed by Girdusky’s inane anti-Palestinian bigoted jab.

CNN then kicked Girdusky off the set and banned him from appearing on the channel over such remarks.

An appreciation of Jeremy Paxman.

A quick visit to his old school, and his time at Cambridge University.

The journalist training in Brighton, then to Belfast and other troublespots.

Newsnight is going to be his best-remembered programme, Paxman redefined the political interview as a hostile, aggressive experience, producing more heat than light. He's also written some books.

For this blog, Jeremy Paxman will be remembered as the host of University Challenge.

For almost thirty years, great student minds have pitted their wits against questions from his mouth. He's worked gently to make the show more inclusive - welcome women, steer the questions towards minorities and groups under-represented on mainstream telly.

And now, while the mind remains sharp, Paxman's body has begun to let him down. He feels it's time to get off the stage, which is terribly sad, and an excuse to pay tribute to a television legend.

Obrigado Kirsty
