Show content

The program was often a mix of both news and opinion content, serving as a lead-in to the network's afternoon and prime time opinion programming. Bashir gave thoughts on the issues of the day along with a panel of guests and other relevant interviews pertaining to a specific issue being covered. Bashir presented the series with a liberal point of view.

Broadcast history

The program originally aired in the 3 p.m. slot, but moved forward one hour on June 25, 2012, replacing The Dylan Ratigan Show. The Cycle, a new multi-host program, launched in the 3 p.m. hour beginning the same day.

The show was effectively cancelled after its November 22 edition after controversial comments from Bashir made about the former Governor of Alaska and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin the week previous, going on an already-planned Thanksgiving break. On December 4, 2013, Bashir resigned from his position at MSNBC after he made "ill-judged comments" about Sarah Palin.
