As reported by Breitbart’s Tony Lee Monday, Washington Post media reporter Paul Farhi cited relentless pressure from conservatives for Bashir’s resignation from MSNBC after his on-air vitriolic, violent (and scripted) Sarah Palin comments.

Appearing on CNN's Reliable Sources with host Brian Stelter, the Post's Paul Farhi said "the outrage was from the right, the idea that Sarah Palin and, by the way, a woman, obviously was being attacked was part of the outrage."

He said it was a relentless "campaign that just did not quit."

"I think the reality is probably that he was asked to leave," he continued. "That is to say he was fired, but in the legal world in which we live, perhaps they couldn't exactly say that."

Lee goes on to note that organizations like Breitbart News, TruthRevolt, and Newsbusters were instrumental in keeping up the pressure, “hammering Bashir and MSNBC for its hypocrisy in not disciplining him.”
